HP - x2 2-in-1 13.3" Touch-Screen Laptop - Wi-Fi + 4G LTE - Intel Core i3 - 4GB Memory - 500GB+8GB Hybrid Hard Drive - Snow White/Ash Silver

The HP Split laptop with detachable screen is great for having both a laptop and tablet experience. Down side is the short battery life and it never charges to 100% no matter how long it is plugged in. For users who own real tablets, the screen size is wonderful but heavy. It would be appreciated if Best Buy offered it in another color option other than white.

Love this laptop portable and love that the screen detaches and becomes a tablet

I started off looking for a basic laptop to replace a Toshiba laptop purchased 1-1/2 years earlier which suffered a hard life and ultimately a hard drive failure. I've always wanted a touch-screen laptop, and the abiity to detach the screen and use it as a tablet was a big bonus. I love the compact size and portability combined with options such as 2 USB 3.0 ports, HDMI-Out, MicroSD slot, SD Card slot, and built-in Bluetooth make this a truly powerful device I can take anywhere and do anything with. Also, the built-in LTE modem makes tethering to the Wireless Hotspot on my smartphone obsolete, thus keeping battery life on that device better suited to other tasks. Battery life as been excellent so far - usually gets me through a day with power to spare. Processor speed is adequate for what I use it for (Internet, office applications), and 4GB of RAM makes multi-tasking a non-issue. The style is very eye-pleasing, and I get compliments on it every time I take it out at a restaurant, coffee shop, etc. At the time I purchased this, I got a great deal at $249.99 with a 2-year contract with Verizon Wireless for the built-in LTE. Since I'm already a Verizon customer, it's only costing me $10 more per month to my existing data plan for service and negates the need for my tablet which I plan to give to my oldest son. So, $250 for laptop + $240 over two years to add it to my account = $490. That means I still saved $160 compared to full retail price for this product ($649.99). I plan on keeping this laptop for a long time to come, and will most likely continue to purchase HP products and use Best Buy as my electronics store of choice.

We had been searching for a 2-in-1 PC like this for a while. The Asus Transformer felt too small, the Surface Pro too pricey. Plus the wife wanted to be able to use it on the road with 4G LTE. With the built-in Verizon SIM, this system does it all! I would give it 5 stars if the HDD was in the keyboard base instead of the display unit (making the "tablet" lighter). A very nice unit that was priced right at Best Buy!

I bought this instead of a Surface Pro because it combined all the best parts for a lower price. It's a tablet when I want it; and its a full laptop when I want it. Screen size is much nicer compared to my iPad 2 and processing speed is faster. I run CS2 photoshop on it no problem along with SketchUp Make. The touch screen sensitivity is not perfect and sketching on it with a stylus is a little choppy and sometimes the touch input has to be entered twice. Otherwise a great hybrid for productivity and play whether traveling, at the office or lounging on the couch.

Bought this laptop primarily to manage pictures and to surf online. Had it for a month at this point. Still getting used to Windows 8. Couple items noted is that it is very top heavy because the hardware is in the tablet. The keyboard is very sensitive. I've had to get used to the light touch for the double tap. Sometimes for me it's easier just to use the touch screen. Touch functionality works well. Picture management is still a learning process. The program used to format images has a hard time working with large pictures - I have a Cannon T3i. Plus my drive for the camera won't install properly. Internet usage so far is good, have downloaded chrome which I prefer. Not sure if it's just because it's new but there are constant pop ups in the lower corner for updates, firewall etc.

I was hesitant to purchase this 2 in 1 model initially . But then HP - x2 2-in-1 was beyond my expectations and made me Purchase 2 of them :) ..

This is great compromise between a laptop and a tablet. It's easy to type with, and has a real keyboard, but also has a fully detachable screen so that it can be used as a tablet when needed. It starts up and runs programs quickly for a compact machine. It's also great to have two USB ports as well as an HDMI port, which is rare on smaller laptops/tablets. The only downsides are the lack of disc drive, low battery life (about 2-2.5 hours), and the fact that the screen is a little heavier than the keyboard which can lead to the machine becoming a little unbalanced while on my lap. Overall, this is the best 2 in 1 I've seen, every other device I've looked in seems to have some missing functionality.
