This may only be of interest to X3 owners/Users but others with Continuum may find it of use as well.
Found an Open Box item marked down for sale ( when the price is worth it I will buy someones returned item), like new in box.
Now you may say it's crazy to buy a Windows 10 Laptop to use as a Continuum display, but hear me out.
True the Stream has lower specs and almost no storage.....but it has battery and screen and keyboard and track pad however if you pair a bluetooth mouse with the laptop, you can use it in continuum and there is less lag over pairing mouse with phone.
So with the Stream you also get 1 year Office 365, but Word and One Note that is on the Phone is good enough for me.
So any Office uses I have can be done with the phone/continuum, and the laptop can cover games, media, looking about the INTERNET.
Now after a year is up I can open the lap top up and add in a PCIe SSD to add storage, the trade off is wifi and bluetooth will have to be done by dongle.
However after you do a fresh install of Windows 10 and dump all the bloat HP stuffs in the eMMC you have a good amount of storage + the SD card slot + One Drive.
The only thing I can't do ( that the full HP X3 package can), that I know of yet, is plug into the Phones USB C jack and the side USB and connect Continuum for wired connection. No matter Wireless works well enough.
