Abstract: At 8mm thick and 840g, with kickstand and a chassis carved out of a single piece of aluminium, plus a 12-inch IPS 1,920 x 1,280-pixel display (at the same productivity-friendly 3:2 aspect ratio as the Surface Pro) this is a tablet-plus-keyboard that hews...

Excellent flip-out kickstand, Two USB Type-C ports, Great Core M processor
RealSense camera position, Moderate screen brightness, Large bezels
HP's $1499 Spectre X2 takes the best parts of the Microsoft Surface family of low-energy, decent-performance tablet-laptop hybrids, and adds HP's distinctive take. The flip-out kickstand now has a spring-loaded toggle, but you'll still have to angle it yo...
Call it another Surface Pro 3 clone if you want, but the HP Spectre x2 has an outstanding keyboard and sound system...

The market is very exciting in this segment: see our list of Top 10 Convertibles. The Lenovo IdeaPad Miix 700, the Surface Pro 4 and the new Huawei MateBook (currently being tested) should also be considered by potential buyers...
