HP Pavilion x360 2-in-1 14" Review: Touch-Screen Laptop

[@theshawnlynn]

Pros: . Sleek design for price . 2 in 1 compatibility if ur into that . Quality Speakers . Backlit Keyboard . 16 GB Optane . SSD hard drive (it turns on fast) Cons: . Battery life is disappointing . Fan can get loud while streaming Overall, it’s very good for a budget laptop. It should be recommended to students and everyday users. I do not recommend this if you try to game on it or edit videos. Hope this helps

[@S400-i6c]

What PC,Labtops would you recommend for video production?

[@LaVerite124]

That’s all I need. A computer for the house

[@theshawnlynn]

S 400 sorry for the late response, you may want to invest in a macbook pro if you do serious video editing. If you prefer windows (like me) the surface pro is very good with programs like adobe premier

[@pitbullchamp3459]

Damn, I was going to buy this for $499 right now more for video editing lol I guess not

[@diguification]

Not a thorough review at all, Stacy. It's a 2-in-1 and he COMPLETELY avoided the unit as a tablet, neither he showed its touch responsiveness, nor pen input. With all such details left out, he has effectively covered about 55% of the unit's overall potential.

[@zoran123456]

Thank you for a review! I recently bought it (with i3 processor) as I saw your review and found it interesting. I love is so much, using it extensively for my job as web developer, watching movies, even some light gaming (pinball or retro games). This laptop is crazy useful. I no longer need to carry my mouse, touch works great. I can easily switch between laptop or tablet mode. Keyboard is nice although I don't like key positions so I bough new wireless keyboard for it. Battery can easily last for almost 8 hours, which is sufficient for any kind of work. For a budget laptop, I cannot find any bad things about it. One thing to note, this laptop does NOT support, Samsung S Pen, or Wacom pens. You need original HP Pen (or probably Surface Pen, haven't tried it). Little bit dissapointment, as I have S-pen from Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Tablet.

[@eish19]

Hi, thanks for the comment. I was going back and forth to get the i3 processor or the i5 processor

Regarding the RAM and storage upgrade, The older generation had few slots under the keyboard and this model is the 2019 model which has all the slots on the bottom side which makes it a a breeze to upgrade if you need to.

[@DarrenPersad]

These are currently sitting at $649 for an i5, 12 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD, which seems like a spectacular deal to me. I was going to splurge on another XPS, but I’m willing to give this more affordable options a shot given how phenomenal the specs are for the price.

[@soaky4]

I got what was likely the last of the previous series (c-series; Prof. Seidman is showing the brand-new d-series) a few months ago. I agree that this is a good laptop. I recommend it. The physical differences I see are a different placement of the fingerprint reader and thinner side bezels. There's also a negligible reduction in weight in the newer model (3.49 lbs. vs. 3.53 lbs.) My particular configuration (HP has SEVERAL models of the "HP Pavilion x360 14") includes: *similar 8th Gen i5 CPU, same screen size and resolution, same 128gb SSD, but *16gb of DDR4 RAM and an HP Pen. Also, mine has no video output from the USB-C slot, and a volume rocker in place of the HDD light. My device cost $519.99. So, while the differences make for a slightly improved machine, I am pleased that I was able to get essentially the same quality device for less money. Based on my experience with a very similar machine, I agree with Dr. Lon that the laptop shown is a solid choice for basic tasks.

[@kenmaier6870]

Lon - thx for this video and in fact all your videos. My wife bought the x360 a month ago and all is good. When she purchased it obviously a low capacity SSD so my plan was to upgrade it in the next few months.You made a comment that the HD is not easily accessible when you remove the cover. I have yet to remove the cover but based on other x360 upgrade video's I have seen the HD seems easily swapped. Can you comment on the discrepancy BTW - I really enjoy you videos and thoroughness of them

[@amirmsr6133]

Fan is loud and it heats up after only using like for 20 minutes..... screen is great mine was the i7 version... standby time is just bad..tops 2 days..and finding out two days later the battery is empty...

[@bernadetterocha3693]

Its not bad. I just bought one from Best Bug for about 469. Its not very heavy, and not too thick, so it won't be too bothersome if wearing it in your backpack a while. Runs decently. Just using for Minecraft, writing, and doing genealogy stuff. Its not slow on those sights, which I appreciate. Tbh, I didn't ask many questions and the guy didn't offer much information. Just needed something inexpensive but useful so this works well. Just FYI. I had my phone on top of the laptop and slid it and twice the magnetics inside the laptop turned my phone screen off (not the phone itself), so keep that in mind. I only found out it was touch screen and folded into a tablet by accident.😂😂🤷‍♀️ Fan really isn't too loud. Only learning the otherstuff now while he's talking.😂😂😂 Wifi works connects fine for mine.

Is the WiFi card a RealTek 8822 BE? I got the same on Linux (Bluetooth working, not WiFi) but for me the fix was as easy as going to a later kernel. On Linux Mint when I installed it the LTS kernel was 4.15.xx I went to 4.18.xx and it has been fine. I also had to disable secure boot and fast boot in bios otherwise it is like Windows grabs WiFi and won’t let go. Maybe this will help someone?

[@123Suryasis]

Can we get some more technical details on your review? Like whether the Ram is single channel or dual channel, what is the exact WiFi card being used, 2x2 or 1x1? These will help us to decide whether to buy this or what kind of upgrade we need to plan for. These information are easily available without any third party software or may be just running software like HWinfo.

[@LonSeidman]

RAM is single channel on this one. Uncertain on the Wifi as it wasn't listed in the specs but typically these are 2x2.

And do you think the battery life would change significantly compared to the model you reviewed?
