Expert tester comments
HP's Pavilion x360 can be converted into a tablet, but at a bit over 1.3kg, is a bit heavy to hold without resting. It's comfortable to use as a laptop, thanks to a very good screen and keyboard, and there is a good array of ports on its sides, including USB-C, but it doesn't feature Thunderbolt 4.
