I use this laptop and the sound setting can the adjusted using the bang and olufsen sound system on the laptop. The default is low but i was able to set it to what i like as well as increase the volume. The reviewer did not know of this obviously.
Had to RMA mine after only 11 weeks - the power button was wonky from the beginning, often requiring more than one press for the 1012 to turn on. Last week the keyboard died (touchpad still worked) together with a fatal Bios error (DXE Update on every reboot). Factory reset gave me a red screen after a "Biosrecutil stopped working" crash during the process and after that the device hard-locked. After turning it off it could no longer be turned on. Great device, with big reliability problems.
Interesting look to the device, happy to see HP innovating and improving on their design lately. Can't wait for the new HP chromebook! Hope to see a review of that on this channel :D
+Matthew Moniz it's a huge step up from the Windows 7 very slow Dell unit I had through my IT dept. I just received it several days ago and need a bit more time to get used to it, but the speed, weight, screen, and did I say speed...is great. Never used a windows based tablet or a pen but have photoshop elements and hope to load it onto this unit...oh I can't...no DVD drive! I ordered a 4 port USB 3 hub and a 200GB micro sdxc card to up the storage. The Bluetooth mouse that came does not stay connected, but feel it's probably a software issue.
This has a serious problem. After a firmware update, The rear camera wont funtion anymore. Every diagnostic and Isolation was already done but no good. Already forward the unit to HP and its been there for 2 weeks already but they still do not have a fix for this. 😑😑😑
nope, some comments show average reliability, loose power button, battery worn out, too weak to start, the computer does not turn on, even when charging it
I'm looking at purchasing an ex-lease HP Elite with i7-7600U, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD (from a reputable Tech retailer) so I can finally return to finish my degree, & for the price they're asking it seems to be both an affordable & capable companion to my powerful home PCs!
I did purchase one of these ex-lease HP Elite X2 notebook/tablets, but the first one I returned the next day as it looked like the previous owner had faced the camera into the bright Australian summer sun way too many times (large dead-areas on a very blurry image). However, I absolutely love the replacement unit they gave me! Also found someone on eBay selling brand new pens for such a good price that I bought a pair in case one breaks, & incidentally HP apparently listened to their customers as mine has a pen storage-loop on the left side of the keypad!
Cheet, I want to use it in solid works, and I don't know, what I must buy for solid((( Need small, powerful and have big battery laptop, what I can use without external power for long time, can you recommend me any laptop, please?
Can anyone please help me?..on my ho elite x2 1012 g1.. I don't have any pinhole in it's sim card slot..how do i open that sim card slot..if you have any solution please help me
I use this laptop and the sound setting can the adjusted using the bang and olufsen sound system on the laptop. The default is low but i was able to set it to what i like as well as increase the volume. The reviewer did not know of this obviously
Definitely interesting, however to deploy across a business I dunno, I just thing there are other options albeit without a pen etc but are the things it brings to the table worth it over a regular lenovo business grade laptop like the x1 carbon, I just don't think so.
Hey I have a question. I have the same exact device, it was working just fine but 5 days ago it stopped working and wouldn't turn on, the power light was only blinking red even though I tried charging it. I managed to fix it. But two days later which was yesterday It was working fine. I turned it off for 10 minutes and the charge was 80 at the time. Then I came back to use it and it wouldn't work. it would start blinking red and white repeatedly. I tried plugging it in to charge nothing happened. I tried the way I used previously it still won't budge. I tried pressing the power button for a whole minute in order to restart, the blinking stopped and the light went off. Then I repressed the power button and the blinking started again. What do you think the problem is? And how can it be fixed without losing data?🥺
At my local tech retailer, they're selling the x2 with m5 4GB RAM and 128GB for $700 CDN. Would you say that would be a good deal? (I currently use a MacBook Air 2011 to surf, watch shows, and code a bit of R and Python for data analysis.)
I know what the other options are and I know their specs. My original question was whether or not that price is good. No worries though, I already have my answer.
nope, some comments show average reliability, loose power button, battery worn out, too weak to start, the computer does not turn on, even when charging it
For $1300, I would have hoped for a better screen resolution :/ But hey - the Surface Pro 4 with the same storage and memory but an i5 may have a crazy 2736x1824 resolution doesn't have anywhere near the same battery life.
Does anyone know if Minecraft or a small game like that would work well on it? I want a laptop for school but also would like to do more lightweight games like that
Surface Pro 4 is more polished with Windows Hello but keyboard is the extra purchase. Lack of LTE is a major issue for me. That's where the Elite X2 wins. If you don't care about 4g, the Surface Pro is the winner.
The pen on the surface pro 4 is rubbish for note taking. I had one for about a year and shortly after trying out an X2 1012 for work, I sold the surface pro.
@@aletius I have the G2 version and I use it for heavy art and music projects and a lot of multimedia work and it works phenomenally. I've never been more satisfied with a computer that works this well at multiple different tasks that's also portable with a 2k display and a great touch-screen. The only two major problem is the in-built speakers and Windows not being a great touchscreen OS.
+Matthew Moniz yes it is, I find myself quite attracted to the HP Envy 13, different form factor but more functional.would be great if you can review that, I honestly now am a huge fan of your reviews, comprehensive and straight to the point! Fantastic work mate. cheers!
Yeah, these things are pretty damned expensive at RRP. If you're a large enough business then HP do some pretty big discounts. If you're not large enough you can get these pretty cheap 2nd hand as no one knows about them.

Too pricey for what it offers in my opinion! At least the keyboard is included. Great review, Matt!
+Dorian Shkëmbi Thanks Dorian! BOth Keyboard and pen is included, which is nice.
8 років тому
+Matthew Moniz Got it! I took the pen for granted since the Surface also includes it. Adding the keyboard is also a nice touch, but I would have also liked to have a core i5 or even an i7 option! Being a student who travels a lot these Surface-like convertibles really suit my needs. I hope new players jump on board in the near future, so we can have more options!
Great Video as always! While I was working in Shenzen (china) for a few weeks my company gave a chinese tablet which a very similar hinge mechanism. But that was more than a year ago, so I am surprised to see it now appearing in the western market.
not a fan of the display get a quality notebook and get a surface pro 4 its amazing been using it for 1 year and it runs as new its durable and fast and can handle anything with its i7 7 generation processor extremely recommended if looking for new laptop 8)

Ms Portley Rind Hey! How did you manage to do this? Its itching me..
How did u increase the volume??!
Do you think i can use blender or premiere pro on it.

Great device, with big reliability problems.
Today, my x2 just swiched of because of low battery, after 12 hours plugged is still unable to turn on...
Good video. Note, the Elite x2 1012 pen includes a lanyard and 2 adhesive loops which can be used to secure the pen.
Thanks!
Only if not core -m, then this is a must go .
Just got mine yesterday. I am so happy and grateful to God for blessing me with one. Thank God for my generous husband. ☺️💛
How's it serving you so far?
I'm considering getting this for my voiceover scripts, note taking and for viewing online courses.
Please can you tell us how it's been going as am looking to buy

@@darnleytalksvee-oh8990 two of the keys are not working anymore and the audio could be better. Rather too soft. 😭
@@haydentinyhomes I am not happy with its keyboard. Had to buy another usb keyboard to be able to type..
This was by far one of the best review videos I've ever watched. Great job!
Thanks Stephanie! I really appreciate it!
You didn’t mentioned how easy it is to repair this tablet.
Hold the minute.. why do I feel like i'm watching a dave lee review?
Great work Matt!
+Canoopsy Thanks Isaac!
Sup Isaac !!

+Matthew Baillargeon I'm loving the new HP! Can't wait to get my hands on the spectre!
Excellent review and one of then only places including the instruction manual that told me the tablet was able to use an micro sd card.

update...I added the 200GB SDXC card and works fine. still cant get the Microsoft bt mouse to work consistently. Love the pen...
Thank you very much
But what about the battery, how can I fix it?
You would still recommend this product even with the technology being 4 years older?
Ofc
nope
What do you do if this gets the black screen of death and no matter if it’s on or off it a black screen
half way to the Silver YT Play button..keep up the the good work 👍
+Teo Dominteanu Thanks Teo! = )
This has a serious problem.
After a firmware update,
The rear camera wont funtion anymore.
Every diagnostic and Isolation was already done but no good.
Already forward the unit to HP and its been there for 2 weeks already but they still do not have a fix for this. 😑😑😑
That’s an awesome explanation for sure you helped me to decide what I need for the business purposes laptop 💻 thanks
You said this is fine for professional. What do you recommend for personal use?
What are the best and budget laptop for cad, graphic-Web designing, Seo etc
Thanks for the nice review, btw, your camera perspective in relation to the painting in the background makes you look like you have some funky ears ;)
Thanks! = ) What are you talking about those are my actual ears! :P
Can we use sql programming in this laptop?
Is it a good laptop to buy today? (June 2022)

Wow! Amazing review Matt! I was surprised to see the like:dislikes ratio!
+Turbo Tech Thanks man!
If its so low of powerful then why it is so much expensive? its seems becoming custom to charge more for very very less
Whoa I own the tablet and didn't even know I could hinge it that far. Now I feel stupid

Bang & Olufsen should be ashamed of putting their name to these speakers. Absolutely terrible!
Its absolute garbage. They made B&O look like crap
I use this laptop and the sound setting can the adjusted using the bang and olufsen sound system on the laptop. The default is low but i was able to set it to what i like as well as increase the volume. The reviewer did not know of this obviously
but its terrible anyways (typin this on my elite x2)
Ms Portley Rind how did you increase the volume
Great video Matthew!

there's two pen loops in the box that stick to the keyboard to store the pen
I have a nice folio case that I've had for a while. It has a pen loop on the spine. Works great for these type of devices.
there is a great competition out there in the market matthew !
+Eslam Hosny Most definitely! Lots of good stuff to choose from. Thanks Eslam for watching!
Does it have sim card?
How to turn on the back camera
What camera do you use to make your videos?
Someone help chrome isn't installing on my dell xps 15:(
Could it charge using phone powerbank through USB type C?
rizki rizki yes and no
Does it functions like the ordinary laptop? Example like ny computer icon , local disk n software
Yup! Full fledged laptop running Windows 10.
The key is pretty much a direct copy of the surfaces one. That's not bad.
+Echtvergoldet Ya it's an awesome keyboard! I was shocked when I started using it.
+Matthewmoniz Does it have an anti-theft port for lock?
could you do a review on the Asus ROG G501vw?

Can i use blender on it
nice review, hoping for more laptops and various gadgets reviews from u✌
+lucky sidhu Thanks Lucky ! More coming : )
Is the usb type C port USB 3 or 3.1? Does it support thunderbolt?

As thunderbolt is supported external GPU enclosure's support will also be there. #RazerCore

no reliability

can it run java n phyton???

Including the obligatory tax, it comes to approximately $597 USD.
I know what the other options are and I know their specs. My original question was whether or not that price is good. No worries though, I already have my answer.
Thanks but the music in the background was really distracting.
how prize is it.
Is it still good to buy this now?
That's exactly what I was gonna ask.
I'll just wait here for the answer as well.
nope,
some comments show average reliability, loose power button,
battery worn out, too weak to start, the computer does not turn on, even when charging it
This 2 in 1 HP Elite X2 1012 G1convertible includes Stylus Active Pen or is purchased separately
It includes it
For $1300, I would have hoped for a better screen resolution :/
But hey - the Surface Pro 4 with the same storage and memory but an i5 may have a crazy 2736x1824 resolution doesn't have anywhere near the same battery life.
+WhoWatchesVideos Also keep in mind that the I5 is a bit more powerful as well over the core M series
Does anyone know if Minecraft or a small game like that would work well on it? I want a laptop for school but also would like to do more lightweight games like that
yes sure. It can also run Heroes of the storm(low graphics 720p)
is it HP 1AA32PA??
Good Explanation, however missing points on options to connect through VGA / HDMI for presentations.
7:08 you have got cow ears hahaha looks cool 😀
What?
can u plz suggest me some good laptops around $1000
which are value for money
Macbook
Dell xps 15 or 13
it depends what you will use it for, if gaming then NOT a macbook, For work then the hp spectre notebook is pretty cool

Watching this on an Elite X2. The only advantage over the Surface Pro 4 is that it has a SIM card slot.
which one is better ?

The pen on the surface pro 4 is rubbish for note taking. I had one for about a year and shortly after trying out an X2 1012 for work, I sold the surface pro.
just calling it USB-C for charging is just wrong it's a thunderbolt 3 connector that is powerfull enough for an eGPU
How much is it now?
350€
Can you send me key of this, for take screenshot
