Hey all,
I'm in possession of an HP Elite x3 running the Anniversary Update + newer firmware that enables some of the cool features you can check out in this post. I've seen lots of you asking questions about this device over the last few days, so I thought it would be a good idea to throw up an AMA for those who want some answers!

Send me your questions below and I'll get answering them!
Thanks for doing this, Zach.
One question I have is just generally: Stylus? I've seen a lot of pics with one. I guess the first question is, is it still going to be a thing? If yes, then have you used it yet? If yes, then how is it?
Thanks!
What Tech is used for the stylus? Is it simply a narrow tipped run of the mill capacitive stylus or is there some digitiser Tech involved on the phone side? No one seems to be forthcoming about this.
Hypothetically, If MS offered a refreshed 950xl with a SD820 and no other changes would you give it the nod over the Elite X3.
Is it worth the money that you have spent on it?
How about the reverse, can the Lumia 950 XL use the Desk Dock via Continuum?
What about the glance screen feature, would it be included in with a future update for the HP elite x3 or does the device totally doesn't support glance screen?
Hi Zac
Does the camera shoot slow motion videos? And does it record sound doing so?.
Thanks
What would you change on the Elite?
Glance is a Microsoft device only feature. It's exclusive to Microsoft, not other OEMs. Not many people seem to understand this, they assume Glance is a "Windows 10 Mobile" feature, it is not. It's a Lumia feature.
Might give it a little more metal here and there. Don't get me wrong, the all plastic shell doesn't feel bad at all... But I'm a sucker for metal phones.
Any random freezing...reboots..or other things like that which have plagued the 950/050xl. Curious if those issues were hardware of software related.
