overview
The HP Pavilion x360 13t is not your typical budget 2-in-1. For $510, you get a plenty-capable Intel Core i3 processor and strong battery life in a highly flexible, 13-inch design. The keyboard and audio quality also impress. While the x360 13t's touchpad isn't the best, overall, this is a great touch-screen laptop for the money.

The Pros
Stronger performance than competition; Easily convertible chassis; Strong, clear audio; Above-average battery life
The Cons
Stiff touchpad; Some colors don't render well on display
Verdict
The HP Pavilion x360 13t offers very good performance for the price and impressive audio, in a highly flexible, 13.3-inch design
Multi-Mode
Similar to Lenovo's Yoga series, the HP Pavilion
x360 employs a pair of hinges that let you rotate the screen nearly 360
degrees, and into four different modes: laptop, tablet, tent and stand.
Folding the screen out and placing it down on a surface in a V position
is Tent mode. Using the keyboard as the base of the computer with the
screen up and in the air converts it to Stand mode. I found Tent and
Stand modes to be most useful when I had limited space and wanted to
watch a movie or share a presentation with others.c

When you
switch out of Laptop mode, Windows 10 presents a prompt to enable Tablet
mode (you can enable this by default). It took the display a moment to
reorient itself.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The x360 has a full-size island-style
keyboard that is well spaced. Its keys have 1.34 millimeters of travel,
and deliver acceptable feedback, with an actuation force of 55 grams.
Both numbers are slightly below what we look for in a laptop (1.5 mm of
travel and at least 60 g of actuation), but I was still was able to type
my way to a solid 60 words per minute on the 10FastFingers Typing Test
on the 13t.
The 13t's 3.7 x 2.6-inch touchpad isn't very
comfortable. While scrolling was smooth, clicking felt too stiff, and
only the bottom half of the pad clicks down.

Display and Audio
The x360 13t's 13.3-inch, 1366 x 768 HD
touch screen provides plenty of detail but not the best color. During
the Hateful Eight trailer, I could easily make out the details in the
snow on Samuel L. Jackson's hat and Kurt Russell's salt-and-pepper
hairs. However, cold grey skies were yellowed and faded, giving an
almost sepia-tone effect that wasn't intended.
Our lab tests
confirmed my suspicions: On the gamut test, which measures how many
colors a display can reproduce in the sRGB spectrum, the 13t hit 64.2
percent, falling below the 68 percent average, as well as the scores of
both the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 (71 percent) and the Asus TP300 (68.6
percent).
Still, it's a bright panel. The 13t averaged 262 nits, well above the
230-nit budget convertible average. That's also substantially brighter
than the Dell Inspiron 15 (177 nits) and the Asus TP300 (161 nits).
The
13t might be a budget 2-in-1, but you couldn't tell that from its
audio. Benefitting from HP's new partnership with Bang & Olufsen,
the 13t features the new B&O Play software. A graphic equalizer with
sliders for Music, Voice and Movie, the program lets you optimize the
sound from the device's bottom-mounted speakers.
Thanks to those additions, the 13.3-inch convertible's small speakers
can fill a room with crisp and powerful sound. Carly Rae Jepsen's "Your
Type" sounded excellent, thanks to the 13t's ability to reproduce the
song's sturdy bass, and the cymbals and high notes in Jepsen's vocals
came through both strong and clear.
During the Hateful Eight
trailer, I could hear all the distinct noises of Kurt Russell's
horse-drawn carriage rattling and rumbling across a snowy field, as the
horses shrieked and the warbling synthesizers hit sturdily and loud. click here now to get the The HP Pavilion x360 13t laptop.
Ports
The
x360 13t comes with nearly as many ports as most mainstream laptops. On
the right, HP placed two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Ethernet, a headphone
jack, the power jack and a Windows button. On the left, you'll find
controls for power, volume, a single USB 2.0 port and an SD card reader.
Performance
Powered
by Intel's 2.1GHz Core i3-5010U processor with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB,
5,400-rpm hard drive, the 13t has plenty of oomph for multitasking. It
earned good marks in my real-world test of running a system scan while
streaming a clip from Last Week Tonight and editing a Google doc, two of
my seven open tabs in Microsoft Edge. Video streamed smoothly, and
there was no lag as I switched among tabs.
On the synthetic
Geekbench 3 test, the HP produced a very good score of 4,490. The
Inspiron 15 (2-GHz Intel Core i3-5005U CPU) came close, with a score of
4,432, while the Asus TP300 (1.9-GHz Intel Core i3 4030U CPU) managed
3,922.
The 13t notched another impressive score in the Laptop Mag
OpenOffice Spreadsheet test, which matches 20,000 names to their
addresses. The notebook's time of 6 minutes, 28 seconds is more than
half a minute faster than the Inspiron 15 (7:06) and the TP300 (7:15),
and almost twice as fast as the budget 2-in-1 average (12:28).
The
only lowlight is the hard-drive performance. The 5,400-rpm drive copied
4.97GB of data at 25.8MBps, which is slower than the 36.7 MBps average,
as well as the TP300 (28 MBps) and the Inspiron 15 (28.9 MBps).
In
terms of gaming, the 13t's integrated Intel HD Graphics achieved 38
frames per second on the World of Warcraft benchmark (at 1366 x 768
pixels and with graphics set to Auto). That's higher than the 22.9
category average, though the Inspiron 15 (37 fps) was right behind. Both
systems exceed the Laptop Mag playability threshold of 30 fps, while
the TP300 (24 fps) did not.
Fortunately, the HP's overall speed
advantage didn't translate into excessive heat. After playing an HD
video for 15 minutes, the touchpad (77.5 degrees), keyboard (85 degrees)
and underside (88 degrees) were all well below our 95-degree comfort
threshold.

Battery Life
The Pavilion x360 13t has pretty
good staying power for its price. This convertible lasted 6 hours and
56 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test (continuous Web surfing over
Wi-Fi at 100 nits), which is better than the TP300 (6:12) and the
Inspiron 15 (4:46). The HP also beat the budget 2-in-1 average (6:17)
