The devices 2-in-1, of course, occupy a niche among all the other gadgets. It is unlikely that they can be called a necessity, however, many preferred a similar concept. Indeed, the idea to use the same device in the role and new tablet hybrid and the notebook is very tempting, it is not only functional but also saves money. Unfortunately, in practice, things are not so smooth: ideas producers often not thought through to the end. For example, the device is often a lot of weights, or it is weak in terms of performance, etc.
This year’s lineup of new tablet hybrid Hewlett-Packard Company added the new tablet hybrid – Pavilion x2 10 – Tablet PC to which you can attach a keyboard, thus expanding the horizons of use. The model has the 10-inch screen, powerful enough stuffing, and cute appearance.
Design
Looks new tablet hybrid HP Pavilion x2 10 very elegant and discreet, without changing the overall style of the brand. Package includes tablet and keyboard dock, which can be used if necessary. Let us dwell a little more on the appearance of each of the elements.
The cover of the tablet is made of matte plastic in dark gray. In the middle – a silver logo. The display is protected by a glass plate, flanked by two narrow strips frames, and on top – the lens front webcam. There you can see even a small company logo highlighted in white.
We turn to the keyboard dock, which is used in construction materials are absolutely no different from the top: the same matt dark gray plastic. By the way, the surface of non-marking, and this is a huge plus in terms of practicality and aesthetics. However, it was not without a spoon of tar: when pressed on the keyboard, it is very noticeable flexes and creaks. As for the keyboard unit, there were no surprises, because users expect a familiar layout and large enough touchpad.
The method of attachment of the two parts of the new tablet hybrid, in general, simple. The new tablet hybrid connects to the docking keyboard with two grooves and magnets. It is worth adding that the job of the magnets is not the best way: with every awkward movement it separates from the keyboard. By the way, along with the keyboard, and the user receives a further cover which is fastened to the bottom. It is light gray in color, look stylish and cute, but somehow it does not cover the lid completely, and such a move is not very clear to the manufacturer. But in the role of the stand cover on the order looks harmonious. The plate may be set at two angles 120 and 135 degrees, the choice, of course, a small, but nevertheless it is.
Finally, we note the dimensions of new tablet hybrid HP Pavilion x2 10, who were very pleasant. Thus, the device length is 264 mm Width – 170 mm, and the thickness – 17 mm with 10 mm plate discharged. Weight is also within comfortable value – 1.58 kg (almost a kilogram weighs docking keyboard).

Screen new tablet hybrid HP Pavilion x2 10 is covered with glass, the surface of which is protected by an additional oleophobic coating that helps to slow down the accumulation of unsightly fingerprints left by fingers. In this case, we have a matrix of IPS, which is indicative of good viewing angles. However, this is true only in the room, but outside, in the sun, waiting for the image inversion. Accordingly, anti-glare qualities tablet is not high, but again, this is typical of the lack of inexpensive tablets.

There is an automatic brightness adjustment, if desired, can also be adjusted manually.
Find the two speakers in the tablet no difficulty: they are located on the sides of the screen. In truth, the sound quality is poor, felt obvious problems with the bass and treble. The maximum volume is better not to include because the sound starts to wheeze. In principle, you can always use headphones, so the sound will be much better, or else listen to audio and video files at an average volume.

Digital unit, by itself, does not provide engineers, yet it is the privilege of devices larger form factor. There are no features in the docking keyboard we found, for example, she single-row [Enter], the buttons are large enough [Shift], compact [Tab] and [Caps Lock]. Arrows, surprisingly, not very tiny and usually in such small keyboards is their size donates manufacturer. The key travel is short, the response – good. Although acceptable performance docking keyboard for regular work she did not do, because the difference with the usual full keyboard really very noticeable.
At the bottom of the working surface is a large touchpad. It has a smooth surface on which it is pleasant to slide your finger. The pointing device detects a lot of gestures, such as zooming, dragging, and others. He was not endowed with visible physical keys.
