HP Pavillion Convert X360
Gadgets|September 2020
While laptops remain the kings of everyday productivity, one can’t just ignore the functionality that tablets deliver. While convertible laptops aren’t new, leave it to HP to take the formula and make it that much more special. In this lab, we take a look at the HP Pavilion, a convertible laptop that does a little bit more than just change forms.

DESIGN

The device itself is built to HP’s usual exacting standards. With a plastic shell that has a matte steel look to it, it doesn’t look garish or over-the-top, so whether you’re at the office, coffee shop, or classroom, it’s not going to draw any extra attention. The 14-inch display is set behind glass for protection and has bezels that are reasonably thin on three sides. There’s a rather prominent chin at the bottom that’s broken up a bit by the HP logo. The hinges on the Convert X360 are large, beefy metal lugs that not only keep the lid firmly in place, but also give it a nice contrast with the mostly black interior. Just above the backlit keyboard is a nicely textured grille that protects the Bang and Olufsen drivers. The 14-inch display allows it to have a reasonable size, which fits its role as a convertible perfectly. There is also an included stylus that’s sized and weighted like a regular pen, and even has a clip on the fake cap at the end, which is a nice touch.

HARDWARE

With an Intel Core i7 10510UU processor, a large 256GB SSD on top of a 1TB HDD and 8GB of DDR4 memory, this is clearly a work machine. What makes it special though is its ability to flip all the way around and become a Windows-powered tablet. Combined with the included pen, that large 14-inch FHD touch display gives it functionality that’s worlds greater than just a regular laptop. In case you want to let loose a little, it also has an MX 250 GPU with 2GB of dedicated RAM
