Yes, this reader would choose the X2 over the Surface Pro 3, although I'm a little confused why the larger screened model is cheaper than the smaller one. I assume it's got something to do with the cost of the screens themselves - with 15" being a more popular, and therefore cheaper, component.The two new HP ENVY X2 hybrids are said to be available now in the US and cost from $749 for the 15-inch model and from $799 for the 13-inch model. Would any readers choose one of these HPs rather than a Microsoft Surface Pro 3?
Offer it in 11-12 inch sizes, 1080p as a minimum, SSD as standard, square off the chassis and add a digitiser and it would appeal.
My Vaio Tap 11 is 15mm (with keyboard), has a 1080 screen with a digitiser, 128gb SSD, microSD slot, 4GB of ram, i5 4210Y, same style keyboard, NFC, bluetooth, dualband wifi, etc. and was released last year.
This is all HP can come up with? It's easily arguable that this is worse than Sony's 2013 product. It's a shame Sony don't do computers anymore.
The 13.3 option is appealing, but surface pen is just the game changer.
There are other things that seems to be inferior like the speakers - they adds some margins, so ti makes 14+" tablet.
I am not that resolution driven so the HD is ok.
I think that i would prefer Lenovo Yoga 3 than this as well, yes it is more expensive but it just seem to be better device overall.
I plan to buy Surface Pro 3 this black friday.
Hell ye bro
the screen cost may be the same, yet there are plenty things that are easier if you have bigger surface, like layout of components - usually the easier is cheaper.
This looks horrific and completely misses the point. It's too heavy to be comfortably used as a tablet, and those speakers take up so much extra space. If it can't be used effectively as a tablet then it has no extra advantage and is just a gimped laptop with a horrible keyboard. The Surface Pro 3 is compelling because it is so light and thin.
I'm still waiting for the SP3 to be updated with Broadwell, but my dream device right now would be a waterproof Surface Pro 3 with a slightly larger screen - maybe 13in or even 14in. I know there's no mainstream demand though to see such a device become reality but everyone has those little dreams
