Selling under 40k, the new HP Pavilion x360 is a 2-in-1 tablet laptop hybrid with a slim, portable, 11-inch form factor. Its screen can go all the way back to use the device as a touchscreen-enabled tablet only, as you can see in this picture.
The 11-inch HP Pavilion x360 has an attractive red screen lid and bottom panel, which isn't glossy and feels great to touch. The same smooth, matte finish goes around all the edges of the hybrid laptop as well lending it a bit of class. The power adapter and power cord accompaniment are displayed here alongside the 2-in-1 device.
Prop its screen open and the HP Pavilion x360 2-in-1 tablet laptop hybrid reveals a plush keyboard with a largish touchpad and adequate palmrest, considering the device's 11-inch form factor. The palmrest's surface feels like it's brushed metal, and the whole device doesn't feel like it's got only plastic. The screen is glossy and touch-enabled, obviously, since this duals up as a tablet as well.
On display here is the HP Pavilion x360's flexible screen hinge, which allows the display to go all the way back and rest on the laptop's bottom panel, essentially converting the whole thing into a 11-inch tablet. The keyboard may feel small, but it has similar sized keys that you find on larger laptops. The palmrest's feedback is good, too.
The glossy LED-backlit touch-enabled screen of the HP Pavilion x360 hybrid laptop packs in a 1366x768 pixel resolution. In this tablet mode, essentially the whole device likes a Windows 8.1 slate. How good is it? Wait for our review. Meanwhile, go on to the next slide to find out the connectivity options on this device.
