Pros and Cons

HP Elite Folio

Strengths

HP has made a name for itself by crafting unique attractive devices, and its Elite Folio is one of them.
The laptop's leather build, pull-forward screen, Snapdragon 8cx power, LTE connectivity, and included stylus with Wacom technology make it a compelling mix of features.
The keyboard offers buttons with 1.3 millimeters of travel, which is one of the deepest setups I've tested.
The trackpad is responsive and ample-sized, making it easy to navigate through apps and websites.
The HP Elite Folio's audio setup is surprisingly strong, with speakers that are loud and clear.
The laptop's battery life is impressive, beating most ultra-portables in our tests last year.

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

HP Chromebook x2 11

Strengths

The hp x211 is a fantastic overall piece of hardware that I think a lot of you could really enjoy.
It has a better screen, a better aspect ratio, and a better keyboard compared to the Lenovo Duet.
The included pin is a nice touch, providing a dedicated place for it to live.
For those who use and like tablets, the HP x2 11 is a step up from devices like the Lenovo Duet in every possible way.
Even for Pixel Slate users, there are upgrades to be found here, including a better keyboard case and more manageable size.
With the price drop to $399, this device becomes a much more viable option for those looking for a tablet-chromebook hybrid.

Weaknesses

The processor struggles to keep up with multitasking and gesture-based navigation, making it feel half-baked in tablet mode.
Android app performance is subpar, with some apps working fine but others struggling or becoming unplayable.
Ultimate Golf was laggy and unplayable, while Call of Duty Mobile wouldn't let me progress past the lowest graphics settings.
Drawing apps like Concepts were terrible on this device, suggesting that there's still work to be done for Snapdragon and Chromebooks.
The missing animations and jittery multitasking may not bother some users, but for others (like myself), it's a significant drawback.
Even with the lower price of $399, this device is not necessarily worth it for those who value high-performance machines.
