The latest from the laptop trend has finally caught up with HP after the company has released their latest convertible laptop named Elite X2.

According to TechRadar, Elite X2 came less than a year after HP released its premium tablet called Spectre x2. The Elite x2, however, is a hybrid laptop that can also be converted to a tablet. Partly designed after the Spectre x2, the latest from HP has the same convertible tablet size of 12 inches with a resolution display of 1080p. The hinges that connect the keyboard and tablet still display the bar type connector that slightly protrudes at the end of the device.

HP's Elite X2 is said to have been designed for business people, partly because of its elegant style, but mainly because of its various features that include a fingerprint scanner, two optional keyboards and island-style keys.

Going into detail, the new Elite X2 has a dimension of 11.2 x 8.4 x 0.5 inches and weighs around 2.72 pounds or approximately 1.23 kg. Compared to Microsoft's Surface Pro, the HP Elite X2 is a bit thicker and heavier, but this is all because of its combined features. The device's fingerprint scanner is strategically built at the back of the Elite X2 and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4.

The two keyboard options, which are uncommon to other hybrid laptops, include a thin aluminum version and a thicker one that has an NFC and smart card reader.

Apparently, HP's Elite X2 has been designed similarly to Microsoft's Surface Book. According to ArsTechnica, HP's line of Elite devices is primarily conceptualized as business computers, and that's typically what HP wants the Elite X2 to project. Despite the device's similarity to the Surface Pro, its difference is its ability to be repaired easily because its body can be disassembled.

The Elite X2 has the ability to be opened up and see what's actually inside. Removing the screws of its kickstand and pulling the screen out with what they call a suction cup will expose the motherboard, battery, SSD, and the Wi-Fi and cellular cards. While the RAM of the Elite X2 is noticeably soldered to the motherboard, the rest of the device's inner hardware can be easily repaired or replaced because of this feature. Unlike the Elite X2, Surface Pro has sealed its hardware features, making it harder for the device to be repaired or its parts replaced.
