HP has been on the decline lately. In their latest numbers that were posted for the final quarter, it was revealed that their PC sales have dropped off 13%. Their notebooks have not done well either as they have dropped off 8%. Microsoft released their Surface Pro 4 and it was competing with them. It sounds like they will try to best Microsoft with their latest Elite x2 1012 2 in 1 tablet.
THE HP ELITE X2 1012 HAS FEATURES THAT THE MICROSOFT SURFACE PRO 4 DOES NOT HAVE
Before the advantages of the Elite x2 are stated, there are two big aspects that the Surface Pro 4 has over it. It has a higher resolution of 2736 x 1824 while HP’s device has a resolution of 1920 x 1080. It also has a more powerful processor with i5 and i7 dual processors. However, the advantages end there for the Surface Pro 4. HP stated that their device was made with aluminum while the Surface Pro 4 is not. They also stated that their device will offer an LTE wireless connectivity option along with vPro technology. The integrated technology provides more security features for the BIOS.
HP AND MICROSOFT 2 IN 1 TABLETS ARE SIMILAR IN SOME WAYS
HP has announced that their device will cost $899, which is the same price as the Surface Pro 4. Also, ironically enough, both of these tablets have the same operating system. The Elite x2 is set to have the Windows 10 OS, which is what the Surface Pro 4 has. The reason why this is ironic is because Microsoft is the one who created this operating system. HP is competing with them with their latest device, but it has Microsoft’s operating system on it.
WHEN WILL HP RELEASE THEIR TABLET?
They recently announced that their plan is to release the Elite x2 1012 in January of 2016. This would mean that next month it will be available for the public. It will be fun to see how many of these they sell, and if their plan for it to defeat Microsoft’s Surface Pro will come to fruition.
