HP does not display a birds-eye aerial view of the keyboard in its marketing materials; if they did, I wouldn't have purchased this model. The flawed keyboard design combines the home, end, page up, and page down keys with the arrow keys.

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.

-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.

The unit I happened to buy seems to have a faulty display. It goes solid grey after locking, unlocking then logging back in; either that or it flickers off and on. When upgrading the BIOS it goes solid grey again. I am working with HP to resolve it, and they agree it is faulty.

The HP Elitebook 1030 G2 is one of the finest thin and light laptops we have seen from HP in the past year.

Best in class build quality; Striking looks; Good port selection; Reliable battery life

Display could have been brighter

The HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 (starts at $1,269; $1,979 as tested) is a business laptop with a slim, 2-in-1 convertible form factor. It has a multimode hinge, so you can use the keyboard and the screen in various positions, and the laptop delivers an impressive 14 hours of battery life.

Long battery life; Intel Core i7 power; Compact, convertible form factor; Premium construction and design; USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 port and USB 3.0 ports; Windows Hello works with fingerprint reader and IR webcam

512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM make it somewhat pricey; Lacks on-board storage for Active Pen

A superior rotating 2-in-1 for business, the x360 emphasizes collaboration features, battery life, pen input, and max mobility in a classy 13.3-inch machine you'll be proud to carry.

Business-calling-specific keys; audio features; Superlight design; Full-size ports; Long battery life; plus quick-charge function; Robust performance; in our maxed-out test configuration

Keyboard feels decent and clicky; but slightly shallow; Tinny; low-impact audio for anything but speech

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

HP's business ultrabooks are generally superb, and the Elitebook X360 is no exception to this trend. Sleek, attractive, and dripping with power and functionality, this machine is a mightily capable enterprise powerhouse.

Excellent performance; stylish design and appearance; Full complement of ports

Underwhelming screen; Slightly chunky compared to other convertibles
