Windows 10 on ARM is not for everyone, but for me, the Envy x2 has become an essential daily tool that I won't give up.
The HP Envy x2 is garnering a lot of interest – and skepticism – as it is one of the first new PCs to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The Snapdragon 835 used in the Envy x2 is found in many popular smartphones and questions remain about how good it can be at powering a full desktop OS like Windows 10.
As it turns out, the Envy x2 with its exceptionally long battery life, always-connected 4G LTE, and instant-on abilities indeed is a marvel. It is, in many ways, an iPad Pro but with Windows 10. That's not to say there aren't some rough spots, but if you stick to apps in the Microsoft Store, it is a surprisingly satisfying experience.
The $1,000 price will deter some, but that shouldn't for everyone. The Envy x2 is made for a specific user, and it has become one of the most transformative devices I have used in recent years.
