Expert tester comments
HP's Pavilion x360 14-cd0073tu is a large tablet convertible laptop that offers decent overall performance. Standout features include very good overall screen quality, dual storage devices (solid state for the system and a 1TB hard drive for mass storage), and a good array of ports for its form factor (proper HDMI, USB 3.0, USB-C and an proper SD card slot). Note: This laptop's performance is not directly comparable to current products due to it being tested with an older version of our benchmark.
