HP Pavilion x360 Core i3 6th Gen - (4 GB/1 TB HDD/Windows 10 Home) 13-s102tu 2 in 1 Laptop13.3 inch, Natural SIlver Colour, 1.71 kg

NOTE: SCREEN RESIOLUTION IS ACTUALLY MORE THAN LISTED. IT IS 1920X1080 rather than 1366X768 as shown in the page. Delivery experience: Flipkart logistics have gone down significantly. Earlier I got orders dispached from other parts of country delivered in a day. Before placing the order, it showed next day/same day delivery option available for my PIN code, which vanished and changed to standard delivery once added to cart. They took more than 48 hours to deliver a product from same city. DEAL: Got cool 10 thousand discount for my 7 yr old laptop. Could not have been better! But otherwise prrice of 45k is 2-3k overpriced in my opinion. PRODUCT: Pros: +Nice convertible with decent specs +Relatively sleek and light. Though lighter alternatives exist, but they are mostly costlier. +Decent looks +Decent build quality +IPS screen with decent viewing angles +relatively less heat. Cons: -The power button, which cant be helped but placed on the side for a convertible. it actually placed at the extreme corner and get accidentally pressed sometimes while carrying the laptop with my hands -Performance is decent but could have been better. A 1GB or 2GB graphics card could have been provided even if sold at a slightly higher price -On research, I discovered the RAM slot is actually below the motherboard, which means for a laptop which opens from top that I have to remove all components of motherboard to access the lower portion. Certainly not easy and is risky for a layman. If the laptop base opened from botton, it could have been much easier. -Screen is yellowish on tint -I personally feel grey textured color for the base of keyboard and palm resting area looks better than the black for a laptop. THe keys are easier to spot that way. -Too many unwanted apps loaded. I wiped the Hard disk and installed my own windows fresh and clean. Overall recommended but should be upgraded to atleast 6 or 8GB RAM immediately once warranty is over.

Using it for about 2 weeks, so its not the time to make a full assessment. But my first impression is really excellent. Straight to the point. PROS: 1.DISPLAY ::crystal clear display. its really good no doubt about it. 2.SOUND :The speakers are exceptional. Unbelievable sound experience. 3.BATTERY :Average backup is more than 6 hrs. -- above average indeed PERFORMANCE : The i3 6th gen; i5 5th gen is a better performer no doubt. But, i3 is better in some aspects to i5. especially (a) less battery usage (as turbo core tech is not used in i3); (b.less heating; (c) newer architecture == better support,better tech. overall NO lag,NO hanging that occurred while i used even for multitasking. 4.TOUCH : Touch is pretty responsive,neat, 5.KEYBOARD : keyboard itself is really smooth. its really nice to work on. To be honest , personally this keyboard is better than many elite laptops 6. WEBCAM : Webcam is pretty good, it works pretty well even in low light. 7.LOW NOISE : You can hardly hear any noise(except that of HDD) , when the fan goes to turbo under full pressure you can make out the fan sound, so under normal use its pretty much noiseless. CONS: 1. NO backlited keyboard. 2. Touch screen is SMUDGE magnet. I would recommend to get a screen guard that is anti- smudge. 3.TOUCHPAD could have been better.. 4. Its too heavy to use it as Tablet. 5. RAM slot : Hardly accessible Overall an excellent light weight laptop at 42,000/- bucks (I bought it at 41,990 bucks from Flipkart itself) After about 3 months of using it I found that its battery backup can be enhanced substantially following some techniques, which actually I did are : 1. Lower the brightness to 25-30% 2. Disable Bluetooth and enable it only when you need it 3. Enable Battery Saver (I set it activated when battery falls below 40%) 3. When using on battery set the display off 1-2 minutes of idling 4. Set the sleep time 5-10 minutes 5. If possible switch off WiFi when you don't need it (although this save a small amount of battery usage) 6. Think of replacing its HDD with an SSD (it saves 10-20% of battery).. I myself replaced its HDD with Samsung 850EVO 500GB SSD after cloning the OS with Minitool Partition Wizard. This replacement will not affect the warranty, provided no damage created to other hardware. Now I am getting less than 10 seconds starting time, about 5 seconds shutting off time and 2/3 times faster performance. The average battery backup is more or less 10 hours. N.B : Replacement of HDD with SSD does not affect warranty unless you damage other hardware.

ABOUT DEVICE.. NICE BUILT QUALITY. GOOD LOOKS. TOUCHSCREEN is very responsive. Compact and lite.. Battery backup is amazing.. Startup is bit slow. Been frequently receiving Boot load error while starting windows. I guess there is some problem with operating system. Or future update may fix the issue..
