HP had a trio of interesting devices at its booth in CES
2016. The company unlike other brands that focused on gaming has decided to
stick with what they do best – media and enterprise machines.
First up, we have the HP Pavilion x2 – a 12-inch convertible
with an Intel processor (either an Atom or Core M), either 128GB or 256GB of
flash storage and a battery pack that can last up to 8 hours.
The 12-inch screen has a resolution of 1920 x 1280 pixels.
The device is of the detachable type and features a magnetic hinge that allows
the display to be flipped around depending on what mode the user wants.
Connectivity-wise, the device sports a full-sized USB 2.0 port, a micro HDMI
port and a USB Type-C port.
The HP Pavilion x2 will be available starting next month for
$499.99.
For those who want a bigger and better display, HP has also
introduced the 15.6-inch Spectre X360 from last year. This version also has a
bumped up resolution at 4K.
Other notable features of the device include the latest
generation Intel Core processors, up to 512GB SSD, Intel Iris graphics, a USB
Type-C port, Mini DisplayPort, three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI port, a 13-hour
battery pack as well as Band & Olufsen speakers.
The HP Spectre X360 15-inch will go on sale next month for
$1149.
Lastly, we have the EliteBook Folio G1 – a 12-inch UltraBook
which many are saying is HP’s answer to the 2015
Apple MacBook. When looking at the device’s design and form factor, it’s
not hard to compare it to Apple’s baby laptop.
The device sports Intel’s newest Skylake Intel Core
processors, which is complemented by 8GB of RAM and a choice of PCIe SSD
storage. The laptop also comes with a couple of USB Type-C, an optional
fingerprint reader, Bang & Olufsen tuned speakers and a choice between 4K
and FHD display.
The HP EliteBook Folio G1 will be available starting March
for $1099 for the base model.
