I assume that the removable keyboards are the "clamshell" design mentioned in the title. Since you never once said the word "clamshell" in your video.

I spent more on getting a traditional HP envy notebook (clamshell) over a HP envy 360 laptop because I don't want to deal with 360 hinges. They look flimsy and complicated, have more moving parts and therefore a higher degree of failure.

Hi! My friend warned me about the durability of 2-in-1s. Is a convertible really easy to break?

Don't use the 2 in 1 functionality but I definitely prefer the design.
