11.6-inch Windows 8 Laptop-Tablet Hybrid HP Envy X2 Review

On the IFA 2012 trade show, HP released its first Windows 8 laptop-tablet hybrid, namely Sony Envy X2. Just like other electronic manufacturers who have released hybrid laptop-tablet, Envy X2 owns both laptop and tablet forms. When connected with keyboard during using, this new device is no difference from a laptop. While disconnected with keyboard, it is a portable tablet just like the new iPad. The overall configuration of this new hybrid tablet is very attractive, including: a 11.6-inch touch screen with 1366×768 pixels screen resolution makes it quite wonderful for watching HD videos/DVD on Sony Envy X2; adopts the next generation of Intel Clover Trail processor with 2GB RAM and 64GB SSD space; the latest Windows 8 operating system; dual camera with a main 8MP camera on the rear; Beats audio technique for high quality audio effect, etc.

On appearance, HP Envy X2 comes in aluminum alloy shell, solid and smooth. The whole tablet body thickness is only 8.4mm and weights about 680g, while connected to keyboard the tablet would be a little heavier than 1400g. The 11.6-inch touch screen display supports multi-touch capacitive touch control, with front camera for video chatting on the right upper. While from the back side, there is a big hp logo, with an 8MP main camera and LED flashlight for picture and video shooting on the head part. The inconvenient thing might be that the separate design of power button and volume adjusting button which are separately designed on different sides.

The bottom of the tablet has a data port to connect with keyboard. The bottom flanks are magnetic card slots to connect with keyboard, while the 3.5mm headset jack locates on the rightmost. The keyboard left flank respectively arranges a HDMI port, a USB3.0 port and a 3.5mm audio jack, while the right flank contains a USB3.0 port and an expandable port with a coverable SD card slot at the bottom. The keyboard of Envy X2 is quite similar to other Windows 8 laptop-tablet hybrid – standard full QWERTY design with touchpad. Such kind of design produces an overall terse feel for keyboard, though.
