Our users, 3 of are all delighted with the performance of this excellent machine. fast, quiet and well constructed.

I was excited to upgrade to the x360 elitebook from a previous hp spectre G1 360. It has the ports and form factor to make it truly portable without adding too much necessity to carry extra cables. However, this has felt for the most part a down grade. Main issues: 1.

This machine has a fully flexible hinge, which means the screen can tilt all the way back and beyond, enabling both a space-saving Tent mode and Tablet mode. The hinge is particularly sturdy, though, making it difficult to accidentally induce it tilting back. And yet, pushing it back is very easy.

Attractive design; Lots of security features; Good performance; Decent battery life

Slower SSD on this model; Stylus costs extra in UK

I've really enjoyed my product so far, but didn't realize (as I ordered online and hadn't gotten a chance to test it in person, which my bad) that the speakers are on the bottom of the laptop and the "bend" of the laptop, where it can reverse.

The EliteBook x360 is an excellent workhorse 2-in-1 which is strong in a lot of respects. There are a couple of pain points, but none bad enough to distract us from the sheer quality of this HP laptop.

Excellent value for money; Superb performance and battery life; Attractive optional features

SATA SSD; Proprietary power port

-While you could enjoy using this laptop I cannot in good conscience suggest it to others because of how much it costs for how little you are getting out of it. The Asus Zenbook is a far better device with a far better name for about a thousand dollars less.

-Great build quality; It is all aluminum and is a beautiful device; -This device has a great selection of ports which is not something we can take for granted in 2018; Having two usb type A, a single thunderbolt 3, and HDMI ports along with headphone and power jacks you are getting far more than the...

-I have the fully specked out model with an i7, 16gb of ram, 256gb nvme ssd and 4k touch screen display and while that might sound really nice and it is, but it is not worth the $2500 that I spent on it; To clarify I am paying it through my tuition at college.
