    Great video! I've seen reviews of laptops that have Bang and Olufsen speakers, and those reviewers weren't too impressed with their quality, either. Bang and Olufsen seem to be living off their name. Back in the mid-1990s, when I was in high school, I used to see their store in a mall, and they had these awesome-looking CD stereo systems that were flat, and that you could hang on a wall, like a picture. I used to droll over those; they were really expensive.

    I just bought the elite x2 1913 G3 version and even though this is the best laptop I have ever had, I cannot believe that you guys did not mention that it was not a bluetooth keyboard. I would have gone for the Zbook G4 instead because to be able to separate the keyboard from the screen but still be able to use the keyboard is a gamechanger... Many of you guys just talk about specs without talking about what people really want to know about the product. I have watched over 20 videos and not a single video talks about the fact that it is not a Bluetooth keyboard.

    HP has a fantastic opportunity here if they make a second gen x2. Add windows hello, keep the fingerprint scanner, reduce bezel size and incorporate a keyboard that also provides power

    You said the Pen is from Wacom but I didn't see any line fluctuation while you were drawing, does it not have pressure sensitivity? Cause for an artist, that's kind of a dealbreaker.

    I currently have a refurbished Surface Pro 4 with a Core m3 CPU, 4GB RAM, and 128GB SSD, and I was considering sending it to Amazon for trade-in and purchasing a renewed HP Elite X2 1012 G1 with an Intel Core m5 CPU, 8GB RAM, and 128GB SSD. I'm a cartoonist/fan artist, and I also do a little bit of video/photo editing, as well as retro gaming via DOSBox and ScummVM. My two go-to apps for drawing cartoons and editing photos are GIMP and Krita. As for video editing, I use Kdenlive. I also have a few accessories, such as the Samsung Evo Plus 512GB microSDXC card for extra storage space, and the Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus rechargeable stylus pen for drawing.

    I've been using the HP X2 tablet for a few months now. Am a Mac user, too, that needed a touchscreen, so this is my first Win10 machine. Overall, it's pretty good. Love that it's got BOTH USB3 and USB-C ports. Wish there was a second USB-C port or an HDMI port. The stylus is good but eats batteries (non-rechargeable AAAA style). Trackpad is nowhere near the quality of the trackpads on the Macbooks and doesn't behave at all like I'm used to on a Mac. It's usable and like most Windows trackpads... I tend to bring a wireless mouse or trackball with me (as do many mobile windows PC users around me).
    A dock is necessary. Have tried out the wireless dock, the Thunderbolt dock and the simple USBC (non-thunderbolt) dock. They all work fine. The wireless dock is kind of useless since battery life isn't good enough to keep it unplugged for long. Am hoping that the docks will work with Macbooks so that I can switch between them in the future. Have not tried that though.
    Has anyone tried to power this with a MacBook USB-C power supply, or tried to power a MacBook with the HP USB-C supply? That would be really interesting to know.

    The keyboard looks nice. The included stylus and keyboard, depending on the total cost might be great too. Bezels could be smaller though. The laggy trackpad response makes it a dealbreaker at almost price point for me.

    Is the battery life more than 4 hours? Is it better than SP4's pen parallax? Do you think it can run several tabs on chrome and onenote at the same time and a couple of other apps like sportify etc?
    I'm not so impress with SP4's parallax problem and its 4 hr battery life...

  • @maxlol0

    one of the biggest problem i find with surface pro type of device is that they have a hard time balancing on your lap. let's say if you use it on bus im sure it will fall off.

    all they did was license the name,add some controls in control panel.The speakers are still the piss poor speakers plaguing HP Business class units.Btw there is a difference between B&O and Bang and Olufsen on HP laptop's.The "Premium" sounding ones have Bang and Olufsen spelled out.
