Verdict

The HP Split x2 is a 13.3-inch Windows 8 hybrid that functions as both a laptop and a detachable tablet, powered by an Intel Core i3-4010Y processor and 4GB of RAM. A standout feature is its dual-storage system, consisting of a 64GB SSD within the tablet for quick OS performance and a 500GB HDD in the keyboard dock for high-capacity file storage. It offers impressive battery longevity through a dual-battery configuration (one in the screen and one in the base) and includes premium audio via front-facing Beats Audio speakers. Major benefits include its sturdy build quality, responsive touchscreen, and a full-sized keyboard that provides a genuine laptop experience. However, the device is notably heavy and bulky for a 2-in-1, weighing nearly 2.3kg when docked, and the 1366x768 resolution display suffers from low brightness and poor contrast, making it difficult to use in outdoor environments.
