The HP Pavilion x2

The HP Pavilion x2
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Sony laptop battery
The HP Pavilion x2 is a dainty little thing. Roughly the size of a notepad, it’ll easily fit into a messenger bag or rucksack, making it an ideal choice for users that like to work on the go.
With its compact form factor and curved corners, it looks friendly and inviting, but this positive first impression fades a little when you first pick it up. The x2 is clad from head to toe in cheap-feeling plastic, which lacks that finger-friendly, soft-touch quality found in the better non-metal models on the market.
That said, it still feels robust and durable, as if it would survive everyday bumps and scrapes with like Hp 632016-542 battery, Hp HSTNN-UB2L battery, Hp QK644AA battery, Hp SX06XL battery, Hp Elitebook 2560P battery, Hp H6L28AA battery, Hp HSTNN-IB4L battery, Hp HSTNN-W01C battery, Hp RA04 battery, Hp ProBook 430 battery, Hp E5H00PA battery, Hp HSTNN-I70C battery. Indeed, a week of being carried around in a congested rucksack left neither a scratch nor a scuff mark on the x2’s exterior.
The physical buttons tell an entirely different story. Like the chassis, the power button, volume rocker and Start key are plastic and grey, but unlike the chassis they’re also flimsy, far too shallow. They also wobble around loosely in their cutouts, and there’s no satisfying click when you push them.
However, durability and looks aren’t the x2’s headline features. Instead, the magic lies in its specialised hinge.
Since it’s a convertible, you can use the x2 as either a tablet or a laptop, depending on what suits you. The screen element, which weighs 580g, can be attached to or detached from the 600g keyboard via a magnetic hinge.
As a laptop, the x2 is 19.8mm thick. That’s impressively slim, considering how cheap it is. After all, the similar-priced Acer Aspire Switch 11 is a far flabbier 25mm thick.
In use, the screen holds steady in all positions, thanks to the stability of the hinge. However, when you push it back as far as possible and then prod the display, the entire unit tips backwards. This is unfortunately a common issue with two-in-ones, but we’re still disappointed to see that HP hasn’t managed to remedy it.
As a tablet, the x2 may not be razor thin, but it’s still comfortable to hold. At 9.6mm thick, it again trumps the Switch 11, which measures in at 10.6mm. Even the tiny Toshiba Satellite Click Mini is 2mm fatter than the x2.
As well as laptop and tablet modes, you can also use the x2 in what HP calls the ‘stand’ and ‘tent’ positions. The former has the screen facing away from the keyboard, and is a handy option when you want to present something to a group of people. Tent, on the other hand, refers to the x2 being placed in an upturned V shape – great when you don’t have a lot of desk space.
