This 2-in-1 laptop flaunts a 3,000-by-2,000-pixel IPS panel that’s plenty sharp and bright. The screen ratio may be a little strange as it’s a bit squarish, so you’ll see fairly thick black bars when watching movies. However, it does provide more space to work in, making it ideal for drawing and video editing. It is also incorporated with HP’s Sure View, a display technology that keeps prying eyes away from sensitive information. Anyone sitting beside you, whether in the office or a public transport vehicle, won’t be able to see what you’re doing.
Finally, the Elite x2 runs with an Intel Core i5 processor that works alongside 8GB of memory and 256GB SSD (it also comes in other more powerful configurations). Its performance is pretty smooth, and we experienced zero instances of sluggishness when browsing the internet and social media, streaming YouTube and Netflix, and when playing some small games. Battery life was serviceable, lasting over 10 hours with normal usage, and 8 hours in our video loop test.
This laptop hosts a slew of top-notch security features, including the Sure Sense anti-malware application, a recovery tool, a permissions manager, a password vault, and more. And just like the ProBook and EliteBook, the Elite x2’s infra-red facial and fingerprint authentication work as seamlessly as we anticipated.
The Elite x2 1013 G3 is definitely elite in name and nature. Get it on Amazon for the discounted price of $1,100.
The HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 is a convertible laptop with an aluminum chassis that looks good and feels extremely solid. Its 360-degree rotating hinge spins the screen around firmly and only wobbles ever so slightly, providing reassurance of this laptop’s excellent build quality. It weighs 1.36 kg which is admittedly on the heavier side, but with dimensions of 215 x 307 x 16.9mm it’s still quite portable.
Biometric sign-in can be assigned to the fingerprint sensor or the IR camera for Windows Hello facial recognition, both of which are quick to respond and very reliable. This laptop is also equipped with a Smartcard reader and the Kensington lock slot for tamper-proof data storage. Aside from these physical layers of security, this laptop boasts Sure Sense, HP’s anti-malware software.
This EliteBook’s keyboard is fantastic. Although key travel isn’t that deep, typing is quick, comfortable, and responsive. The size of the keys is perfect, and the spacing between them is just right. The keys also light up with a cool bluish glow that automatically switches off when the computer is left idle. The touchpad is also a delight, with a glass surface that effortlessly perceives the lightest of touches and gestures. This laptop also comes with HP’s Active Pen G2 stylus, which is extremely precise, making this a great digital sketchpad. The pen attaches to a magnetic clip on the laptop’s right side.
We’ve picked out three home office laptops that will be perfect for this period of enforced isolation. Each will let you get on with your work with minimal fuss, yet won’t break the bank in the process. Let’s take a look at the deals.
Most Chromebooks sit firmly at the budget end of the market; while they may get the job done, they often look and feel decidedly cheap. Not so the HP x360 14, though, which brings a notably premium edge to the table.
