HP Chromebook x2: Before two weeks ago, Acer announced the first tablet to run Chrome OS. Today, HP announced the second but with a higher price.
It is called the x2 Chromebook and has an 12,3 inch screen (the largest iPad Pro has an 12,9 inch screen). It has a dock with a keyboard cover and supports a stylus.
The big advantage here is that the full Chromebook x2 package will cost $599 (with keyboard cover and stylus) while the iPad starts at $649 for the (smaller) tablet alone, while you'll have to pay 1.067 dollars for the 12.9-inch model with keyboard and stylus.
The HP Chromebook x2 has a Core m3 processor, 4GB of RAM (can get up to 8GB), 32GB of storage, analysis οθόνης 2400×1600, στερεοφωνικά ηχεία B&O, μπροστινή κάμερα 5 megapixel, πίσω κάμερα στα 13 megapixel, δύο θύρες USB-C, μια υποδοχή cards Micro SD, headphone jack and an estimated battery life of 10,5 hours. It weighs a little more than an iPad Pro, and is a little thicker than an iPad Pro, but not by much.
HP says the keyboard was designed to hold the tablet firmly enough that it will feel like a laptop when the two devices are connected.eyea.
The Chromebook x2 seems to have many features, but there are a few questions: One of the biggest is whether Chrome OS has been developed to run on a tablet. Google has been updating its operating system to work better on touch screens for a few years now, but it's still a desktop operating system (based on the Chrome browser). This is likely to limit the usability of the upcoming device.
And while the Chromebook x2 seems to be quite cheaper compared to an iPad, it is a very expensive Chromebook. Chromebooks usually cost from $ 300, while with $ 600, you can buy a good Windows PC. Of course for $ 600 you can always buy a very good computer without operating system and install GNU / Linux…
HP plans to release the Chromebook x2 sometime in June.
