Nevertheless, the area is put to good use as the left and right bezels accommodate physical buttons to control features like volume and brightness.

Keyboard, Trackpad & Speakers

HP Zbook X2 G4 has a full-sized keyboard that accompanies it alongside a smooth trackpad. Users can choose between having it attached or detached or even opt for an on-screen keyboard in tablet mode. The keyboard gets the work done and typing experience on the machine is better than several other hybrid laptops with such thin keyboards. As previously mentioned, HP also offers Bang & Olufsen speakers with the laptop which are placed at the top of the display.

Being a workstation laptop, HP Zbook X2 G4 is shipped with an HP Pen. The stylus is found inside the accessory box and is a great offering for a productivity centric laptop. The pen can be used to take quick notes or make drawings and has precise registration on the display.

Performance

Since the HP Zbook X2 G4 is a device aimed at professionals, it features an eighth-gen Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core CPU. Besides, it is also equipped with 2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA Quadra M620 GPU which facilitates the graphic intensive tasks.

Key Specs:

Intel Core i7-8550U

512GB PCIe M.2 SSD Storage

As previously mentioned, the HP ZBook X2 G4 is designed while keeping professionals in mind, it has rear-facing air vents and dual fans that keep the temperatures under check even while running CPU intensive tasks. For average users, the device may be overkill but for professionals, it is a worthy productive machine in a compact form factor.

Connectivity and Other Features

HP Omen X 2S Gaming Laptop With Two Screens Launched In India
HP has introduced new entries in its range of gaming laptops. Omen laptops are known to sport top end hardware specifications for gaming purposes. The company has now unveiled the world’s first dual-screen gaming laptop, Omen X 2S, which will feature unique cooling mechanisms alongside the new OMEN 15 and Pavilion Gaming 15 laptops.

Key Features:
- 6-inch secondary 1080p display
- 15-inch primary with options between FHD and UHD displays.
- Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Thermal Solution
- NVIDIA Series Graphics Card upto RTX 2080.
Dual screens laptops have started slowly gaining a more mainstream commercial audience. Computex 2019 was one of the major events where the technology had gained major coverage. The technology is not brand new, but for the first time is available to the gaming markets instead of first-look on prototypes. HP, in a press release, introduced the Omen X 2S that is going to be launched in India along with HP Omen 15 and Pavilion Gaming 15.

New Secondary Screen

The unique gaming laptop will receive various HP enhancements in the software to improve the overall gaming experience. HP Omen X2S will offer numerous multitasking capabilities to the user with its new secondary display. Most gamers out there would tend to listen to music, watch game streamers or even check messages every now and then. The new screen offers the same functionality without ever needing to reach for a smartphone of turning away from the system.

Players can text friends on chatting apps like WhatsApp, browse through the music of their choice from Spotify and even connect to Youtube and Twitch. This is made possible on the 6-inch 1080p secondary screen above the keyboard of the laptop. The smaller display has its interface run by the OMEN Command Centre software that enables simple controls of the new space. The second screen can also highlight certain aspects seen on the main screen such as the map in racing and shooter games.

Design & Cooling

Gaming laptops have historically been known to run with higher power requirements and temperature. Various OEMs have tackled this with their own proprietary cooling solutions. HP brings its own take to the issue with its new OMEN “Tempest”. HP’s Omen X 2S is the first laptop to feature an applied liquid metal compound for its thermal solutions. HP claims that the aforementioned technology will pave the way for smaller and cooler heat management systems.

The upcoming gaming laptop is built on a 20mm full-metal body chassis. Omen X 2S sees a 20% reduction in size over its predecessors with the new cooling method. In terms of aesthetics, the device sports a familiar design that has been seen in previous iterations. The unique hinge and angular designs are what people have come to expect from HP’s Omen lineup.

Internal Specifications

The upcoming gaming laptop, including the Omen 15, are available various configurations that potential buyers can opt for. Omen laptops can be equipped with the latest generation of 9th Gen Intel Core i9 octa-core processor. Graphical fidelity can be provided by the latest video cards from NVIDIA such as the RTX 2080 that feature the cooler and quieter Max-Q designs.

The amount of storage has yet to be detailed but upto 16GB of RAM will be provided by HP. Furthermore, since laptops are portable and more mobile than its desktop variants, the new Intel Wi-FI 6 is being provided as well. It is claimed to be 3 times faster in terms of file transfer speed over the older Wi-Fi 5.

Other Offerings

Two additional gaming laptops have also been announced for prospective buyers that don’t intend on spending too much. HP’s Omen 15 and Pavilion Gaming 15 will launch alongside the Omen X 2S. The later is a laptop designed on a thinner frame than its older variants but with improved specifications and performance. However, the gaming system will not receive similar top-notch hardware as the Omen X 2S. The laptop only receives upto the 9th Intel Core i7 CPU alongside NVIDIA’s GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q design.

Price and Availability

The world’s first dual-screen gaming laptop “Omen X 2S” prices start from Rs. 2,09,990. HP OMEN 15 laptop will have buyers shell out Rs. 1,24,990 while the Pavilion Gaming 15 Laptop will go for Rs. 70, 990. An Omen gaming mouse is being sold on the side which is priced at Rs.1,799. HP is also offering the OMEN Outpost Mousepad which can charge the gaming mouse through the Qi wireless charging technology.

The Indian market holds great potential for any OEM and HP’s reception with the products shall be seen in the arriving weeks.

HP Spectre Folio Unboxing And Hands-On
American computer maker HP has launched its latest premium offering, the Spectre Folio in India. It is the world’s first convertible to arrive in an all leather casing. With features like 8th Gen Intel CPUs, and a HP Pen, the Folio is targetted towards business users. Here is our experience with the Unboxing and Hands-On with the device.

What’s Inside The Box?
- HP Spectre Folio
- USB Type-C Charger
- Quick Start Guide
- Power Cable Chord
- HP Pen
Design & Build

The HP Spectre Folio is a premium laptop. The Folio is completely wrapped in leather. The device has an aluminum casing inside, but it feels as if the leather was part of the device right from the start. The device feels sturdy and very premium. The feel is unlike any laptop in the market. The Build quality of the device is solid and the Folio is a joy to hold in hands.

There are also many modes on the Spectre Folio. The display is split in half and held by magnets that are as stable as any clamshell notebook. Then, the display can be flipped inward at the center and pulled forward to just behind the touchpad, where magnets hold it in media mode. Finally, the display can be pulled even further inward to a tablet mode. Unlike 360-degree convertible designs, the keyboard is covered by the display here.

Display

The display of the Spectre Folio is pretty great too. The 13.3-inch 1920 x 1080 panel is a 1W panel. This means the display won’t take up much juice out of the battery. The colors on the Folio’s display are sharp, have good contrast and should be pretty good for occasional usage. The display doesn’t get a lot bright but this won’t be a problem if you plan on using this device indoors. The bezels though, feel a little chunky for 2019 and it feels like HP could have made them a little smaller.

Keyboard, Trackpad, & Speakers

The Spectre Folio has a full-size keyboard and a trackpad. But because of its thin and light nature, the keyboard on the Folio has a little travel so the keys feel a little mushy. If you are coming from a tactile keyboard, you would need to adjust to the keyboard on the Spectre Folio. The trackpad is also fine on its own, it’s just a very small one. If only HP provided a bigger trackpad with the device. The speakers too, are average for casual movie watching and get plenty loud. Tent mode of the Folio is a genius idea as it creates a sound chamber behind the display, making it easy to immerse in the media.

Pen and Touch Input

The Spectre Folio has a stylus inside the box, which is a good thing. But there is no magnetic connector for the stylus. There is though, a leather pocket HP has made near the display to keep the pen in. The touch input on the laptop works as good as it gets. The pen also is good for drawing and registering more precise touches. Overall, the touchscreen on the Spectre Folio is a good addition to the convertible and it makes it more useful.

Performance

Because of its fanless nature, the HP Spectre Folio runs on the Intel Core i7 8500Y processor and 16GB of RAM. The ‘Y’ here means it is the low power variant of the i7 and it shows in day to day usage of the device. It runs fine while doing everyday tasks like browsing the web or using Microsoft Office for your, well office work. But give the Spectre Folio something intensive and it would struggle. While trying out photo or video editing on the device, it became sluggish to use.

Gaming also isn’t a USP of the device as the device doesn’t have a discrete GPU. Overall, the performance of the Spectre Folio is good for everyday usage and office work. It is not made for gaming or editing though. But there is a Thunderbolt port for those seeking extra power and can plug in an external GPU for gaming. The RAM on the device is adequate though, as 16GB will be more than enough for most people for day to day usage.

Connectivity And Other Features

The HP Spectre Folio has 2 Thunderbolt ports and one Type-C 3.1 port. It also has a 3.5mm jack for connecting speakers or headphones. The port selection on the Folio is great and the addition of Thunderbolt makes things better. The webcam on the device is a FullHD one but the quality is average. It is fine for occasional video calls. The Spectre Folio also has support for Windows Hello facial recognition and it is very quick to login.

Pricing And Availablity

The HP Spectre Folio will be available from authorized HP retailers across the country for a price of Rs. 1,99,990. With the price tag, the laptop is undoubtedly premium and will attract business users.

HP Announces Rugged Laptops With Wacom Stylus Support For Students

HP has been delivering great laptops in the form of Chromebooks for quite some time now. While there are several rugged phones in the market, a rugged laptop is hardly ever heard of. But HP has done just that! They showcased two Chromebooks recently – the Chromebook x360 11 G2 and Chromebook 11 G7 Education Editions.

Both the laptops are said to have undergone MIL-STD-810G testing and feature a spill-resistant keyboard. This is a millitary grade testing and the laptops are said to be able to survive drops of up to 76cm on concrete.

Chromebook x360 11 G2 EE

The Chromebook x360 11 G2 EE features an 11-inch IPS display with HD (1,366 x 768) resolution. It has two USB-C ports, one regular USB port, a headphone jack along with an SD card slot. The laptop’s screen has a 360-degree hinge lets you turn the device into a 3.24-pound tablet. It also supports the optional Wacom EMR pen. This is supposedly done to allow students to take notes.

Chromebook 11 G7 EE

The Chromebook 11 G7 EE features the same processor options, RAM, storage option, battery size and display size. The durability rating is similar as well with the same tests having been performed on this Chromebook.

The main difference are in it’s screen. It features three different display options — an HD IPS touchscreen, a matte HD IPS non-touchscreen and an HD SVA option.The hinge on this laptop only lets you lay the display flat on a table instead of a 360 degree fold.

HP 27 XQ Quad HD Gaming Monitor
Desktop gaming is slowly gaining traction in India. As the demand for high-end computing products and accessories rise, companies start supplying these devices in India as well. HP has launched a 4K gaming monitor in the country which is called the HP 27 XQ. It is a Quad HD gaming monitor with a 144 Hz refresh rate.

Size & Features

In terms of design, the HP 27 XQ has thin top, left and right bezels while the bottom bezel is quite thick. The bottom bezel of the gaming monitor carries HP branding and a small green coloured LED-lit bar. As the name suggests, the HP 27 XQ has a 27-inch display panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 px and an aspect ratio of 16:9.

The HP 27 HQ measures 596.74 x 335.66 mm and tips the scale at 6.1 kilograms. It has an adjustable height base which can go all the way up to 131.39 mm. It also has a 100 x 100 VESA mount which is a flat display mounting interface. Therefore, the user can attach the monitor to any VESA stands or arms that the user might already own. The HP 27 XQ has a horizontal viewing angle of 170 degrees and a vertical viewing angle of 160 degrees.

The New HP Z820 Work Station Is For Professionals Who Need Raw Power

HP has announced the latest iteration of its workstation and it packs a lot of power. The new Z workstations have been developed with product designers, architects, digital creators, scientists, educators, healthcare workers, and financial traders in mind, but could also be a good fit for home-based content creators who value processing power more than anything else.

The flagship of the Z workstations is the HP Z820. The Z8 packs in two Intel Skylake-SP processors, with twinned Xeon Platinum 8180 chips: 28 cores/56 threads and 38.5MB cache each running at 2.5-3.8GHz, along with support for up to 1.5TB RAM. Those processors and memory can be combined with up to three Nvidia Quadro P6000 GPUs or AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 parts. The desktop system has four internal drive bays, two external (and a third external for an optical drive), and nine PCIe slots. Storage options include up to 4TB of PCIe-mounted SSD, and 48TB of spinning disks. A range of gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters are available; the machine also supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. Thunderbolt 3 is available with an add-in card. HP says that novel ducting ensures a second CPU is cooled with fresh air rather than recycled (warm) air from the first CPU’s ducting.

HP Touchpad Yet Lives Gets Android N
Remember the HP Touchpad ? HP’s glorious tablet failure that made more sense to buy after the company liquidated the stock. The HP Touchpad was rooted to run Android and made its way up from Jelly bean all the way up to Marshmallow early last year.

One of the ROM makers for the Touchpad has managed to port Android N over to the long lost tablet, the active community is pretty large and owners have never been happier with the Tablet.

The port is still in early beta and according to the Dev a few things still don’t work

WIFI MODEL
- Camera
- Alot of features are not installed. EVToolbox is launched from the launcher for now
4g MODEL
- Camera
- Alot of features are not installed. EVUpdater is broken ATM
For those who are willing to give it a try, know that the process is quite long and detailed, and somewhat frustrating. But the end result means, that your 4 year+ old Tablet runs Android N before many of the so called Expensive flagships of 2016. That’s one middle finger to the Man !
