HP EliteBook x360 G2 (2017) review: Stylish and powerful business laptop

Ғылым және технология

The HP EliteBook x360 G2 is arguably one of the most exciting advances in modern business laptops. The overall design is clearly inspired by HP's premium Spectre x360 13 consumer offering, but make no mistake there are key differences under the hood that make the EliteBook x360 better suited for the office.

    Great review, always appreciate your objectivity. This could be an option depending on what MS does with the SP5. Out of interest, my old monitor at work has accidental "sureview" :P

    Awesome review , and I'm thinking to buy one , to help me during study but I find one problem facing me which is the brightness of the screen it's maximum 260 nits !! , compared to any other ultrabook it's below average (350 nits ) , so Will this affect using the laptop indoor or outdoor under shadow !? Thank you @

    @@castle_novelist I used it for 3,5 years. At the end of 3rd year, it had to be serviced due to a swollen battery and got a new motherboard & battery. Apart from typical HP bloatware it was really nice. Although the trackpad & speakers are pretty average, performance was really good for a machine that size. Two minor annoyances were the trackpad and the ill-shaped arrow keys. Currently, my girlfriend is using it for general stuff without much complaint.

    Very nice review, this almost drove me to buy an EliteBook x360 over the Spectre x360. Thanks! Just a couple of newbie question: can the EliteBook be powered (and/or charged) connecting a powered USB 3.1 port from a docking station to the USB-C port, thus avoiding the usage of the power brick? Can the integrated Intel HD 620 graphic card drive an external 4K monitor, even if I order a FHD display panel unit? Thanks again for the deep review!

    Have you compared the other HP business laptop to this one? There seems to be a variation with HP Z Book X2, HP Z Book X G4. What are the differences?Looking for a business tablet/laptop situation that I can take notes with and grow into it through several years. The current one I have is 11 years old. The reason I looked at the Z Book is that it has a bigger RAM capability, plus a few other plusses.Thank you.

    Daniel Rubino Thx for responding. Have you noticed the screen door effect being more noticeable in the latest fhd spectre x360 screen? I have the laptop and its the only real negative thing I can say about it. Its only really noticeable on a webpage or windows explorer screen with a light background, but I have had other 13" ultrabooks (Samsung ATIV 7) that didn't have screen dooring.

    Daniel, would you recommend the HP Elitebook x360 G2 over a Surface book for a college student?

  • @OldAussieAds

    @OldAussieAds

    7 жыл бұрын

    I'm not Daniel. But I would seriously consider the HP Elitebook x360 G2 as the screen completely flips around for fast access to tablet mode for note taking. With the Surface Book, you have to press a keyboard disengage button, then completely take it off and put back on the opposite way. It achieves the same thing but is more fiddly and takes longer. Oh and it has a USB-C port (over the next 3 years, this will become the main port for peripherals). I could be wrong but I don't believe the Surface Book does. I know for a fact the other Surface devices don't.

  • @jckclt

    The Surface can not be serviced without being shipped to a certified facility, the x360 can be serviced at home. Second, you gain TB3, which is awesome. Third, charging over usb-c, which again, is awesome. Yes, I would recommend this, as well as the Dell XP3 13 and Yoga x370 over the Surface

    The Elitebook and Probook lineups definitely did change their naming scheme but for the better. I have an "HP Elitebook 2760p 12-2540 with DS" from 2012 and the new names are way better than telling someone what model you have. Plus, being a laptop for Enterprise markets, no body is going to ask what computer you have.
