Way better than last one
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old laptop was very bad. I needed a new laptop to fit my needs and not stand out so I could use it in class. This chromebook is the perfect size, you CAN use the laptop on your lap (works great), and the magnets are really cool. The chromebook is not heavy. It is a touchscreen, with a fingerprint sensor on the top as a power button also. The stylus works great, although when drawing, sometimes you have to tap it a couple times for it to press a button. It is fast, and has my old pictures from old phones (google account). It also connects to wifi my old laptop wouldn't connect to before. I would recommend.

Higher End ChromeBook
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad for my first ChromeBook. The OS learning curve was minor and I would recommend this when on sale, which it regularly is. Pros: * Detachable keyboard allows it to be a laptop or tablet * 8GB of RAM makes it run smoothly * Battery seems to be able to make it to at least 10 hours of use * Chrome OS will be updated for many more years * Fairly slim bezels Cons: * No backlit keyboard * The backcover is held on magnetically and makes the tablet heavy * The keyboard/mouse does not work properly unless on a flat surface (so don't use it on your lap) * Sometimes the on-screen keyboard will not pop up and I have to reboot to get it back So-So * The screen is nice but I miss the deep blacks and more vibrant colors of an OLED * The battery is long lasting but I have noticed that it drains when off at a rate higher than my other computers & tablets * Chrome OS is easy to use but a bit different from Windows & Android, like 2 finger scrolling going in the opposite direction * Not all apps are compatible and some look weird

3:2 Display is Bright
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the HP tablet. It has a bright 3:2 aspect screen and a wonderful build, and I got mine for under $400. I wish it had a mic jack but otherwise it's amazing.

I Really Tried To Like It…
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First impressions out the box I really loved how the device looked. A few days into having it I started noticing problems with the item. Screen unresponsive at times. Green line under certain videos playing. Then after 3 days of having it I looked in the settings and it showed battery capacity was at 96% after having it just 3 days. Battery drained very fast. Device was defected so I ended up returning and going with a different tablet. If you’re going to buy this device get it on sale not at retail price. It’s not worth it and it won’t last.

Garbage pc
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to wait to write a review after using this device. But I didn't get that chance. I actually purchased for school in December. I powered it on and it seem to work fine so I put it away. I start class today and it will not power on. I'm outside of the return date by 9 days so there's nothing that Best buy can do for me. Worst purchase ever. Do not buy! Just a month and a half old.

Excellent tablet for $400, Good for 600, ok laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.IMO, this might just be the best Android tablet, that just happens to also be a pretty good Chromebook. Let's get this out of the way, if all you want is a laptop, this isn't going to be the best. For adult men, the keyboard is workable, but smaller than comfortable; I don't have any problems, but am not as fast as with my proper 14" laptop. For children or if you want a tablet that also has a keyboard, this is perfect. If your child or tween needs a Chromebook for school, this would be on my short list. If you're in high school or Univeristy and want a second display for reading or watching videos while working on your proper laptop or writing notes without filling a backpack with notebooks, this is a great buy. If you just want a good tablet, it's excellent. I bought this primarily to replace my Galaxy Tab S6 because I shattered the display and getting it fixed was going to cost as much as this tablet. I'm primarily using it as a tablet. As such, the two most important features are the display and the speakers. The display is great, obviously not quite as good as the Samsung or an iPad, but about on par with a Surface device for color accuracy, black levels, and response time and a much higher resolution than a Surface Go. The speakers are bad, highs are shrill, bass is non-existent, and mids are semi-hollow sound as if the tablet is across the room even if you're holding it a foot from your face. It seems like the speakers were designed specifically for video-conferencing, at which is it excellent. The processor is fast enough; it's no speed demon, but loads web pages without delay and plays video without stutter. If you want to play Genshin, you're gonna have a bad time, but for the rest of us it is all we need. I really like that the kickstand can be removed. The magnetic system gives you the best of both worlds, having a heavy device for when you want it to stay still on a table or your lap and a light device when you're holding it in bed or on the couch watching a movie reading. The 11" display is slightly larger than the Galaxy S6 that I'm replacing and on paper the same size as the S7, but because it's more square 3:2 aspect ratio like a Surface rather than widescreen 16:9 like most laptops or 16:10 like most Android tablets you get more real estate for reading and slightly less for video. The more square aspect ratio also, IMO, makes it slightly more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. And unlike a Surface Go, Pro X, or Galaxy Tab, there's sufficient bezel to hold it with so you're not just pinching the corners. I don't use the keyboard often, but it's great to have. If I'm reading through my email and find one that I need to respond to in the middle of my various newsletters, it's great to attach the keyboard rather than getting out my laptop. If I'm away from home and my laptop has died, it's a good backup too. The keys are well stabilized and have good actuation pressure and travel, very similar to Surface. But I said in the opening, I'm an adult man and my hands don't exactly fit on it comfortably (I wear a men's medium glove). As typical for HP devices the trackpad is disappointing. It tracks accurately, but palm rejection is crude and it won't track at all if you start your finger too close to the edge. They keyboard deck isn't quite stiff enough and it's easy to accidentally click the mouse just by leaning a wrist one side of the keyboard deck and lifting they other. And the fact that it doubles as a folio to protect it in a bag is $30 you don't have to spend. The pen is as accurate as you can expect in this price range. There are many different pen technologies. Wacom has a couple such as you'll find in high end Windows convertibles and Galaxy devices, nTrig as in Surface devices, Apple, USI, and Synaptics. This has USI, which fills the gap between the good ones and Synaptics (unusable). For note taking and perhaps drawing diagrams it's good, if you're planning on making digital art, get a Surface or iPad. It is accurate, but does not have tilt support and I don't think it has pressure detection. Now that Chrome OS supports Android and Ubuntu applications, it's slowly becoming a fantastic everyday laptop and tablet OS, what Windows 8 dreamed of being, even for those of us who don't use Google services. I've installed the Brave Android browser and Firefox Linux desktop browser, both of which work nearly perfectly. The default touch keyboard is bad, but you can install Swift Key or the Samsung Galaxy Keyboard, both of which solve all usability issues (but sometimes I have to restart the whole system because they refuse to open). You can't install MS Office, but you can use the web apps, or I'd imagine most people using Chrome OS will be using Google Docs, and for the technically inclined, OpenOffice and LibreOffice are both available. If you really want to, this could become a full Linux laptop. So, then there's the competition. I bought this device for $400, if it were full MSRP ($600), I'd drop my review to 4 starts. The Surface Go 3 "starts" at $400, but once you add a keyboard, slim pen, and upgrade to 8GB of RAM, you're over $700. Sure, the speakers and pen are much better and sometimes you just need Windows, but the 1/2" smaller display on the Surface makes a big difference at this size, you don't have access to Android apps, and $300 is just too big of a difference to make it worth it to me. The Galaxy S8 is $700 and doesn't have access to a desktop browser, despite having a slightly better display, much better speakers, and a much better pen (and the keyboard will be an extra $100 if you miss the preorder window). And the iPad Air is $1,050 after adding pen and keyboard. If you don't get the pen, the iPad and Surface get $130 and $70 cheaper respectively. So on Price, the HP is in a category of its own. And IMO, it's the best of the 4 at doing everything.

So, so close.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.HP got so many things right on this Chromebook. The size is PERFECT for what I was looking for. I've now owned 4 detachable chrome tablets and the #1 thing this model does better than the others is MAGNETS. Options like the pixel slate or Lenovo duet do not feel very solid on my lap or when closed and carrying them around due to the lack of magnets fixing the keyboard to the tablet. The screen is great size and quality, though I would definitely pay for a premium model that's OLED and/or high refresh rate (if the performance was good enough to deliver high framerate animations, but I'll get to that later). I personally think fingerprint readers are a better fit for phones while face unlock is better for laptops and tablets but this is just a nitpick and I'm super glad there's any sort of biometric unlock. The speakers are stereo but pretty weak and honestly one of the main downsides. I love that the stylus is included in the box and the magnets securely attach it to the side and also charge it (great idea Apple). Other chromebooks with a fabric loop or even nothing to hold the pen at all are wayyyy worse in this regard. The keyboard and trackpad are a step up from the duet but a step down from the slate - pretty decent, but I would like a little more rigidity to the keyboard to prevent accidental trackpad clicks when it flexes a bit. Battery is good and it charges quickly. On that note, I'm glad that it has 2x USB-C ports but I wish one was on each side. The biggest downside to this device is unfortunately performance. It's not awful, but it's not great either. It gets the job done for casual web browsing and what not, but loading times and general responsiveness of animations is lackluster. I especially hoped that being an ARM processor that android apps would run better than on my slate but yeah it's not amazing. I do believe that ARM is the right direction for chromebooks, especially seeing what Apple has been able to do with the M1. My slate got pretty warm when I was using it a bunch and that's a non-issue here and this obviously doesn't need a fan to keep cool. I just hope we see a follow up device in a similar form factor with a snappier CPU. I bought this for $350 and for that price point I can't complain too much about the speed. If a sequel to this chromebook came out that addressed my biggest complaints and maybe some of my nitpicks, I would easily pay $800 for it because I love the form factor so much. Either way if you're interested in a tablet that's a manageable size while also having a decent experience with a keyboard I would still recommend giving this a look when it's on sale.

Great tablet/travel laptop
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a long term Chromebook user, but moved to a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 because I missed the full windows experience. However, I found it too big for travel and missed having a small and light portable device. Being anti-Apple, yet hating the limited number of updates for Android tablets, I jumped back into the Chromebook world with this HP. I love it...totally love it. Perfect tablet and great little laptop/Chromebook. Seems to run as fast as my limited i5 Pixel Slate. 10 solid hours of battery life. Nice keyboard although not backlit. If you can get it on sale for $400 or less, it's an amazing 5 star deal. For more than $400, I would give it 4 stars

Great Surface-Like Tablet for ChromeOS
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: * great build quality (tablet seems like it's all metal) * bright screen * comes with stylus and keyboard * runs relatively cool * processor adequate for several tabs on Chrome, along with multitasking (terminal, pip video playing, etc. ...all at the same time) * form factor and processing power is unique in the chromebook world (bigger and more powerful than the duet, has keyboard solution that previous 10"+ chromebook tablets had in the past Cons: * if you're coming from surface devices, the detachable kickstand (rather than integrated) adds some slight heft * storage seems quite slow (maybe due to EMMC?) * processor is adequate (better than duet), but does feel very occasionally sluggish * on uneven surface (lap, pillow, etc.), keyboard makes clicking sound when applying pressure beneath or sides of of touchpad (sounds like a click, but doesn't always register as one) Other: * Linux on ChromeOS works for applications like LibreOffice, Inkscape and some programming tools

FINALLY! A Chromebook 2 n 1 That's Almost Perfect
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this HP Chromebook X2 for just a day. I was at Best Buy a couple days ago, perusing. I went to the chromebooks section and noticed a chromebook I've not seen on display before. I noticed it to be similar to the Lenovo Chromebook Duet but with a slightly bigger screen. I was intrigued, I checked it out and found that it was on sale for $379.99 and the store had an open box, excellent condition for $333. 8gb of memory and 64gb eMMC storage, this is doable for a chromebook. After making sure the HP X2 had all the things inside the box and the X2 turned on, I bought it. I got home with it and gave it a good clean, since it was an open box, and looked great; I had to do a once over in cleaning. Got it going on, first thing I checked it the AUE(end of update) and this updateable till June 2029. I'm so good with that! The back kickstand, the magnet is strong and I don't have to worry about the back cover coming off. The keyboard is much easier to type on than on the Lenovo Duet and the keys are spaced perfectly for an 11" 2 n 1. The keyboard has magnets on the top part that it will stick to the tablet like on a Microsoft Surface Pro or Go2, very nice touch and it also raised the keyboard a smidge to make typing a little more elevated. + 1 on ergonomics! The keys are a bit stiff to type but not mushy and the keys are not backlit. I don't have a problem with that, the screen is plenty bright even at 50% that you can just see the keys. The trackpad is quite accurate, very easy to use and scroll and smooth. The keyboard, I've checked out some Youtube vids on reviews on the X2. And those reviewers have stated and I can attest, the keyboard on the sides of the trackpad will click when bent. Yes it is annoying, but I've not experienced any weird clicks on the screen when this happens. Not sure if this will bother you or not. The tablet has a fingerprint scanner that works great. One touch and it opens up my X2. What a nice touch, not too many chromebooks unless it's a premium, high dollar one has this feature. The X2 has 2 USB C ports. Odd though, both USB C ports are on the bottom left side of the tablet and on top of each other. Why??? Why not one USB C on each side? Also, the X2 has a micro SD card slot. I installed my 128gb Micro SD and it works great. I'm not limited to the internal 64gb. Now for the surprise and something the Lenovo Duet did not have. I did not know that this whole X2 unit includes an HP USI pen. I didn't know this till I watched Youtube vids of a couple unboxing and noticed it has a pen. I wasn't sure if I had this said pen in the open box. I looked under the area where the keyboard was kept in the box and noticed another rectangular box. IT HAD THE PEN STILL and with spare tips!!! BONUS for $333!!! The USI pen works good. I did experiment with it to get the feel for the pen. With the keyboard attached, the pen only lets you scroll and open up tabs and click on bookmarks. It will not allow you to write, if it does this I've not figured it out. But in tablet mode, the keyboard not attached to tablet, the pen will allow you to write and draw. Another odd thing, cuz my Microsoft Surface Pro and Go2 will let you write with the keyboard on it. Also the pen will stick to the right side of the tablet with strong magnets that the pen will not come off the side, till you pull it out to use. Also the pen will recharge when it's mounted to the right side. Never have to worry about it running low on battery. Back to the keyboard and may be a deal breaker for me. The keyboard covers the tablet screen when it is closed. But, if you want to use the tablet with the keyboard attached and flip the keyboard back while still attached to the tablet, you can hit the keys on back and it will register on the screen. So I would accidentally type a letter, close the window I'm on or more the mouse pointer. I with again this is like the MS Surface Pro or Go2, that when the keyboard is attached and flipped back, the tablet turns off the keyboard so you don't accidentally press any keys and have it do something on the screen. HP, if you're reading this; PLEASE fix this problem with an update. The weight is IMO, is a little heavy. But I guess it's justified with all the things attached to the 11" tablet. But it's lighter than a 12.3" Microsoft Surface Pro. The front and back cameras and microphone are mediocre, but I don't use those too often. The speakers are in front, on top on the sides. The sound of the speakers are tinny. But they work, the speakers remind me of the bottom speakers in sound of the Acer Spin 713, which is a premium chromebook. Battery life as I can tell so far has been great. I full charged the X2 and it was a fast charge from the included USB C brick charger. It lasts longer on battery charge than my MS Surface Pro 6 and Surface Go2. I know I'm getting 8 or more hours of use on just the battery. I will say that I wouldn't pay $600 retail for this chromebook. It's very nice and has almost all the things I want in a chromebook checked off. For this to be on sale for $380 and find it at that time for an open box one for $333, this is a winner! HP has almost hit a home run with this new 2 n 1 chromebook. Fix the keyboard flipped around in tablet mode and be able to use the USI pen with the keyboard attached to write, and this would be grand slam! This should be a 4 to 4 1/2 stars, it's just not quite there with the aforementioned issues. Don't pay over $400 for this chromebook, it's best at under that amount.

MSRP? No. Sale Price? Maybe.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The good: Battery life, display, and portability. The bad: 32bit OS I couldn't get the Linux apps (strangely I wanted to run native Firefox) I wanted to run on this because it's a 32bit system. On sale, $399, the price to value is nice. MSRP is far too high. The ram is great, the storage is not. The processor is middle ground for 2021. The keyboard is decent and the pen is easy to use. The pen I received in the box did not work. It wouldn't display any information about the charge or register any taps. I exchanged it back at Best Buy from an already open-box system. The new pen worked on the first touch.

HP X2 11 is fast!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the HP X2 11 in hand for about a week and so far very happy with my purchase. The Chromebook is one of the fastest I have used. Battery life is as advertised. I have used it for 8+ hours on a single charge and charging is quick. The included rechargeable USI Pen is very responsive in the new Cursive application and in other pen enabled applications. The only disappointing item so far are the onboard speakers. I expected the sound to be louder and more crisp as they are Bang & Olufsen. I am giving the HP 4 stars as I can't give it 5 due to the speakers.

Great device for $400
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a chrome tablet, especially for entertainment, this is great. The device feels extremely well built, is a great size for a tablet, and the screen is sharp and bright. The included stylus and keyboard feel high quality too. The fingerprint sensor is an awesome addition. Speakers aren't anything amazing, but good enough for my needs. If you already use chromeOS, you should be aware of the benefits and negatives. Updates and Google integration is seamless. You have access to android apps, but it's definitely not going to be as seamless as an iPad. Battery life looks to be around 8-10 hours for me. I used it at the airport, on WiFi and watching videos for 2 hours before my flight, 4 hours on my flight, and about an hour after landing, with it still having some battery life to use later that night. The main reason it's not 5 stars is because it's a little bit jittery when showing some animations (the overview is the prime culprit), and I've had a glitch or two with the on-screen keyboard. So it's not perfect, but it's a very good device, especially at $400. For my needs, which is as a secondary travel device, this works perfectly. It lasts long enough for long domestic flights, it syncs with Google and my Pixel, it has a great looking screen, and it can function as a laptop in a pinch. I recommend it

A good update from the Lenovo Duet, if on sale
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As most everyone has already said, the build quality for this Chromebook is fantastic. The keyboard and trackpad especially feel great for this kind of computer (other it seeming to lack a magnet at the top of the screen to keep the keyboard in place while it's closed) and far better than what the Lenovo Duet offers. I love the ability to attach it to the screen, like a Surface, to give it an angle. The kickstand is also thinner, and feels even more sturdy, and lacks the faux-cloth covering the Duet has, which, at least on mine, is starting to fray a bit, so those are all pluses in my book. In terms of speed, it is mostly an upgrade, although I've encountered a few things that are slightly slower, comparing them side-by-side. Those things could be improved over time, however, with updates, and even if not, it isn't a huge deal. I would say, though, if you're coming from a Duet, like I am, don't expect it to be a huge leap. The main issue I had with it is simply the price. In fact, I wound up returning the first unit I bought because, as nice as it is, it didn't feel worth twice as much as I paid for the Duet for a minimal improvement to speed, and nicer build quality. It is certainly still a good machine, but, for me, I don't know that I could recommend it. However, I've re-ordered it now that it's gone on sale for $399. At that price, I think it is a great upgrade, or initial purchase for anyone interested in having a Chrome tablet with a nice, premium feel and decent performance.

Excellent device! Just be honest on it's purpose.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this has been an excellent purchase for me. This is a quality and capable tablet IF you can keep in mind what it is, and what it is not. Typing this review on my HP X2 11" tablet, I do realize that this keyboard is a bit cramped. Coming from and iPad Pro 11, that I still own and use, the keyboard that I use on that other device is much better for typing. I'm sure that I will get used to though, I hope. I purchasred this Chromebook tablet to use at work. It is light weight and has a very quality feel to it. It came with everything I needed with the exception of a glass screen protector which I will be adding asap. Somewhere down the line I will probably also add a micro SD card to expand the storage a little but I am not planning on saving a ton of data, pictures or apps on this device. This was purchased to be an online-only, cloud based device for me. My use for this tablet will be primarily using MS Office 365 and sharing and editing pics and work documents through One Drive. So far I have been very happy with the performance of this device on our work network as well as my home network. Setting it up was a breeze and only took me about 5 to 10 minutes. Nice! I am getting used to using the included USI stylus pen and I love how it magnetically attaches to the side of the device and charges itself while attached. No batteries to deal with and it has a place for storage by default. The magnets are very strong and it seems quite secure while attached to the tablet. The keyboard also attaches magnetically and is very strong as well. Trackpad feels very nice and works great. This is a springboard type of trak pad with more travel at the bottom than the top but still feels pretty good. The screen is clear and bright and plenty nice to watch with a 1440p resolution and 400nits of brightness. Touch capability works well and for what I would consider a medium-sized device it does a great job! Overall I am thrilled with this device and I think it is absolutely worth it for the sale price of $349 right now. At the normal $599, I am not sure though. At that point we are getting into Surface and iPad territory and then you have to evaluate what your needs truly are. I also use an Android phone and the Chromebook syncs up seamlessly with my phone, another plus. Time will tell but I highly recommend the HP X2 11 Chromebook tablet. Remember, it's a Chomebook and not a full fledged laptop nor is it an iPad. It does blur the lines between them all though.

All hail the king of Chromebook Detachables
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best detachable chromebook period. Build: premium aluminum, light, with modern design of thin bezels. Keyboard cover is has a nice feel to it. About as good as the Surface non-Alcantara cover. Display: 1440p not as good as the tab s7 but a competitive 2nd. Nice color and gets bright. Performance: decent, moves around the web and can handle android games without issue. ChromeOS: a good combination of easy to use and lightweight OS, Better at touch then Windows, and better at productivity then IOS Keyboard: decent, cramped but workable. Slightly spongy. Trackpad: good with plenty of room Battery life: very good no problem lasting all day, 10 hours no problem. Value: Keyboard, pen included, with a fingerprint scanner, premium build and design. $499 seems to be a better price that would put this in the next level, but $599 fits with some of the current competition. Better than: All chromebook detachables. Surface go. Others to consider: Tab s7, Ipad Air, Lenovo p11 pro. *Short version: buy it.

X2 11"
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchase Context -I've been away from laptops in general for more than a few years, previously having used a Microsoft Surface tablet with a detachable keyboard. -I had recently purchased a budget-friendly convertible Chromebook with 4 gigabytes of RAM and a Pentium processor, but returned it (thank you Best Buy for making the return painless) to look for something that might provide a smoother Chrome OS experience in a more lightweight package. First Impression of the X2 11" -HP put some effort into the packaging. Is it silly to be impressed by this? Perhaps, but when I went to Best Buy to pickup my online order, I just remember thinking, "Dang, you didn't have to do all this, HP." The Magnets -The magnets for the detachable keyboard, kickstand, and included USI stylus are strong, very reminiscent of the Microsoft Surface tablet experience. -Like Surface devices, you do have the additional option of raising up the keyboard by magnetically attaching the flap to the bottom bezel of the tablet, which will give the keyboard deck a bit of an angle, should you want that. -The kickstand feels sturdy. There's definitely a healthy bit of resistance when going through the angles. -The stylus is full size, by which I mean it's the same size as a common ballpoint pen. The stylus only attaches to the tablet along a single flat edge. Otherwise, the rest of it is rounded. As a happy surprise, HP includes two replacement tips to complement the one already installed. Be careful, though. The extra tips sit freely in the stylus box. After taking out the stylus, I felt something graze my leg; it took me a second to realize that something important had just fallen out of the box. Auto Update Expiration (AUE) -Exploring through settings, this particular HP X2 11" will continue receiving updates until/through June 2029. -To clear up any confusion concerning the AUE, HP does have another detachable X2 Chromebook that was released a few years ago. If you go to the Google support page, the AUE list has an HP Chromebook X2 slated to receive updates until June 2024. Presumably, that 2024 date is for the previous version of the X2. General Build Quality -Everything feels solid right out of the box. -The volume rocker and power button have a soft click and a bit of travel. You can definitely feel the mechanical action, but the buttons lean somewhat toward a softer experience. -The keyboard deck is firm and key travel is exceedingly normal, in my opinion. If you've tried out the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 on display at Best Buy (or Apple's infamous butterfly switches), just know the key travel is a healthy bit more than both. There is, of course, some flex; it is a detachable. Is the give too much or entirely reasonable? That's up to each individual user. -The trackpad has a mechanical click that responds evenly across all four quadrants. As I've learned with other laptops, this even mechanical trackpad experience is not a given. The Speakers -Forward facing and incorporated into the bezel. -When the device is in landscape orientation (i.e. using the kickstand or in full laptop mode), the speakers are positioned in the top quarter of the left and right bezels. -They're tablet speakers; they're fine. Could they be better? Of course. Quirks and Observations -This might already be obvious from the marketing and spec sheet, but there is no 3.5mm headphone jack. It bears repeating. Bluetooth 5.0, though. -The X2 11" has HP's redesigned logo. However, with the kickstand in place, the only bit of visible branding is the "Bang & Olufsen" stamp below the volume rocker. That made me laugh a little bit. -No stickers on the actual device, no stickers anywhere. The sticker on the box, though, notes the screen brightness as up to 400 nits. -There's no active cooling; there are no fans. This might be obvious to some, given the Snapdragon processor, but I always wonder. -There is a camera bump on the rear, but the kickstand takes care of it nicely. -The front facing camera has an indicator light, just to remind you that it's active. The light does turn off when you switch to the rear camera. -This might be a very particular gauge (and not a very enlightening one), but I did play some of Nigh School Studio's Oxenfree after setting everything up, and the game ran perfectly fine. Final Thoughts One day, the keyboard will break, the kickstand will wear out, and (let's face it) I'll lose the stylus. It'll become a Netflix machine sitting on a coffee table, the battery draining far faster than it used to. Hopefully, I'll do something worthwhile with it before all that happens.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent device (with one bad feature).
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me get the bad feature out first, because it is the only one: the speakers volume is too low, even when set to 100%, and this is something that Google and OEMs need to address (the Acer Spin 713 also has low volume). Aside from that bad feature, the HP Chromebook X2 11 is a premium device with a gorgeous, bright display, the kickstand and keyboard are solid, with good magnets; when attaching the keyboard it makes that nice sound like the Surface Pro keyboard does, but unlike the Surface Pro's keyboard, the X2 11's keyboard has a magnet to keep the tablet and keyboard attached when closed, and the kickstand attaches strong and secure to the back of the tablet. I highly recommend the HP Chromebook X2 11, because it is a great device, but do note that it's volume, even when set to 100% is very low, like most Chromebooks (the Pixelbook has excellent speakers, but it's expensive and it's running on old hardware).
