HP Chromebook X2

Engadget Review
HP’s Chromebook X2 is one of the few Chrome OS tablets out there. But Chromebooks only work so well as tablets still, so HP included a keyboard. As a Surface-style device, the Chromebook X2 pairs just good enough performance with a great battery, excellent display and a form factor that’s probably not ideal for most people. If you can find it on sale for $400, it’s worth considering as a portable secondary computer. Otherwise, you’re probably better off with a standard Chromebook.
The X2 is a fairly-priced 2-in-1, but most people will be better off with a standard laptop.
