Today we’ll looking more closely at the first Snapdragon 835 rig running Windows:the HP Envy x2.
Meanwhile Microsoft is still able to charge nearly $200 extra for these essentials, which blows my mind.
HP’s Windows on ARM gadget is the most premium of the devices announced so far.
The near seamless construction gives it a premium touch you’d expect from a high-end tablet.
Luckily HP does include a USB C-to-A adapter for peripheral use.
The keyboard cover attaches to the Envy x2 using magnets and pins, so nothing too unusual.
Having the stand attached to the keyboard also means you might’t prop up just the tablet alone.
Prop up the tablet, watch a video, and enjoy outstanding battery life.
The good news is the keyboard itself is excellent.
It’s very similar to the keyboards on HP’s fully-fledged laptops in this regard.
The trackpad is also quite good and works well considering the limited space allocated to it.
HP has also done well with the display.
The key aspect that impressed me is the calibration.
An average temperature of 7000K or so isn’t surprising but not terrible.
