Expert tester comments
HP's Chromebook x2 is a detachable-style Chromebook that can be used as a conventional tablet, simply by lifting the screen off the keyboard base. Note: This laptop's performance is not directly comparable to current products due to it being tested with an older version of our benchmark.
