SeekerHP Pavilion x360
HP’s Pavilion x360 isn’t as powerful or well-designed as the Envy x360, but it stands out with a lower price point and the inclusion of LTE support. Appealing as that is, its poor performance and average battery life hold it back.

HP’s latest laptop is one of the new breed of hybrids designed to work as a notebook and a tablet. As its name suggests, the HP hits both form factors via a hinge that turns through 360°: the screen folds over and sits flush to the back panel in order to facilitate tablet use.

The red design looks good and feels sturdy, but the Pavilion’s weight and dimensions make it tricky to use as a tablet, and its lack of power, poor screen and mediocre battery life hamper its usefulness as a laptop. We’d only recommend this if you want a stylish ultraportable for a low price.

The HP has a familiar Scrabble-tile style keyboard with a decent layout, and the base is extremely sturdy, which helps when it comes to rapid typing. This an improvement over the flimsy Lenovo, and that’s not the only area where the Pavilion bests its more expensive rival: the HP’s keys have a little more travel, and their action is more consistent, and with a little more weight.

This is not a fast machine. It’s built around an Intel Celeron N2820 that uses the same architecture as Intel’s Bay Trail Atom chips. In specs terms that makes for two cores without Hyper-Threading, a clock that runs at a modest minimum of 2.13GHz, and just 1MB of L2 cache – a poor specification that languishes behind new, quad-core Atoms.
