HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3: The 13-in Convertible Laptop to Beat

[@andrewmarcdavid]

This is one awesome laptop. So far my favorite 13-in convertible. Let me know what you think about it.

[@Skyline881-r4n]

Would u recommend this over the surface pro series?

I just got one last week. This is one darn good premium, sleek laptop. Im very well pleased with it! Phenomenal!

I just bought this one! I hope it’s still good in 2023. I got a really good deal for 380 CAD refurbished so i’m excited

[@hanb8933]

These business class laptops may be expensive at launch but the thing is that, even you don’t want to spend that sort of money on a computer, these machines are still worth looking at. After a while, as IT departments of big firms start to upgrade their laptop fleet, they tend to appear on the second-hand market and are usually cheap. However, in terms of specs and durability they are often still much better than ordinary consumer-level laptops sold in stores to everyday users. I bought my Thinkpad like this (even got a warranty!) and I couldn’t be happier with it. My next laptop will probably also be one of those - cheap, durable and in excellent condition.

[@AnthonyLimo]

Managed to get one of these i7 8GB RAM 512 SSD - 1080p 120hz display. Also got the one with Windows Hello built in. It's pretty snappy. Also the price on the second hand market is decent. Snagged it at about $450. Would recommend for anyone looking for a laptop for productivity, some software engineering work (recommend setting up WSL2) and basic content creation.

[@highendcheaptech9705]

That is one heckuva nice 13 inch convertible! Great info as usual! Shared to twitter right away! Keep up the great stuff!

[@AA-flyguy]

Oh this was a GREAT Review!. I have one of these too and am watching this review on it, It IS good as Andrew says everyone!.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Thanks 👊

How easy is it to get used to the moved home and end keys? Did you tried remaping the phone keys via a program? (like sharpkeys or keytweak etc)

[@dave4shmups]

That webcam is really impressive! Pretty high quality compared to other laptops in this price range.

[@akraen1858]

It's better than the new elitebooks, they've downgraded in the name of bezel size. Weird decision while everyone is working from home!

[@giocalle375]

i like it....but the price is insane in my opinion,not even an mx 150 discrete gpu at 2000 bucks is a bit too much to digest for me:P but yeah is really beautiful i love the chassis and the number of ports,nice video as always man :)

[@SiriusXification]

On the other hand it's literally the only streambook available right now. As a gamer, i can setup parsec on my machine and do 1080p120hz game streaming from my main machine. Everything else that has a high refresh rate is paired to a dGPU and is marketed almost exclusively at gamers.

[@right_path007]

Which one is better I'm confused between these two: HP elite Book x360 1030 G3 OR Lenovo IdeaPad 3 core i3 11th gen

[@smiley-rp5mg]

Which one is better this or hp spectre x360 13 gem??

[@iamshgulati]

I got this laptop from my corporate office two days back.. and I only have one complain.. the thermals in this this thing are unable to keep up with the power horse that the i7 8G is. Mine is a FHD model with PFilter. Seriously.. unable to use it directly on my lap while wearing shorts. I think it might burn my skin.

[@vinsonn4532]

My first laptop was HP, because of the logo. Still using now.

[@Faisal-os9ks]

I was lucky enough to get this laptop as a part of a school deal and I can completely agree with Andrew that this laptop is amazing

[@butterflymoon6368]

This looks more like the lenovo ideapad in slimness which is great (the only good thing about a lenovo too). Thanks for this vid. Not sure what camera you use but it shows clean crisp images to where it feels as if i'm almost holding it myself. great :)

[@millertime6]

Damn, the base price is more expensive than the fully spec’d MS Surface Pro 6.

[@RobynBourchier]

Great info, it has everything I want.

[@roodkeekhidki]

The moment I uploaded quick heal it started hanging

[@bradlyhouston8739]

I use it as my daily and its almost perfect. Just annoyed that HP dropped the Micro SD slot, which was present in the G2.

[@akraen1858]

It's 2021 now, still in a pandemic, and the 1030 G3 is still the best laptop. Even the new 1030 has a worse webcam and only 60Hz panel options without hardware power/volume rocker. Strangely I think the G3 with the right configuration is still the best purchase, even now.

[@eddieroberts4559]

Love the content man QUESTION: That white piece on top of the batteries connector, how can i remove that? It seems like its locked (SUBSCRIBED)

[@butterflymoon6368]

wait what you can use sims in laptops??? since when? what can you do with it?

[@paulkoigi7566]

Hi, AMD. Great review. This seems to be a truly awesome laptop. I just have two questions - is it possible for this unit to come with an optional Nvidia GeForce MX250 GPU? Is it also possible for it to have a killswitch for the webcam? Coz I do think that if it did manage to have these two options in addition to the legacy ports, high performing specs and 4G LTE, it would be the zenith of a 13" convertible.

[@GGLD888]

just bought one for 1500. wanted the new hp envy with lte and AMD with 16gb but HP aren't selling them in my country which is annoying.

[@omorogbeunity]

[@coslove8866]

Are elitebooks' CPU always a generation behind other ultrabooks'?

[@sloppy-1-1]

Sometimes. Elitebooks are business laptops, so HP only switches to the next gerneration when the vPro processors are availlable. AFAIK, there are no 10th gen vPro processors

Why don't they put hdmi2.0 instead of 1.4?

That's what the iGPU supports.

[@paulkoigi7566]

Hi, Andrew. Please review the HP Elitebook x360 830 G6 that came out earlier this year. I am curious to see how it ranks relative to the other Elitebooks.

[@igorbarsowski2380]

Amazing. What else would they want more ?

[@SiriusXification]

3:2 screen and 10th gen intel with iris pro graphics are the only things that i can see imporving this.

[@jrose135]

Anyone have the sureview display? It's got weird light distribution, even when looking at it straight on. I just can't get used to it. I'm so sad, cause otherwise I love this thing. Anyone have similar experience?

[@penguin272]

fully agree. needed LTE and got sureview. It is a nightmare and the x360 will go back nly for that reason. the viewing angle dependency is horrible

[@mptreviews7035]

Same here. It even strains my eyes. Just stuck with it, I use it to wrote code. But using a darker theme makes it more bearable

I received this laptop for work. I had a choice of this laptop, a few Dell options, and a Macbook Pro. I chose this based on this review and spec. I had to write a review. This laptop is terrible. Performance is terrible, the fan won't stop running, the battery lasts only 4 hours. It locks up constantly. I want my Dell XPS 13 back. It was so much better.
