Meet the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 convertible laptop
The HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 is clad in a precision-cut, silver CNC aluminum unibody frame with diamond-cut accents, and boasts a lot of functionality packed into its small build.
From a convenient spill-resistant backlit keyboard with adjustable brightness to biometric security features, even its core convertibility features don’t come at the cost of sacrificing space or performance.
Compact and easy to carry or hold
This laptop is incredibly slim and measures just 15 mm thick from top to bottom. Overall, its body is 12.48 x 8.6 x 0.59 inches, which makes it easy to stow and go in just about any bag or carrying case you prefer. It may not be the thinnest HP laptop, but it’s certainly in the running.
Great touch functionality
As a convertible, this laptop offers superb touch functionality with options for extra display protection and stylus options. You’ll also benefit from the core convertibility features, such as the option to work in any one of five basic modes. These include a traditional laptop mode and a more viewer-friendly tablet mode that we’ll describe in more detail below.
Extra security features
To offer some additional protection, the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 boasts hardened laptop security features that you can manage at your discretion. The display’s HP Sure View feature protects your information and activity from prying eyes, while a whole suite of new functions keeps your BIOS safe from attack. HP Sure Click improves your security while browsing the web, while HP Sure Run offers additional OS protection.
Primary hardware specifications
Now we’ll take a look at the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2’s critical hardware components, such as its processor and displays options, among others, to give you a better idea of what’s powering this versatile device.
Memory
This laptop comes loaded with 16GB of onboard DDR4–2133 SDRAM, so you can choose whichever level you need based on your use and software preference.
FHD display with privacy and anti-wear protection
The 13.3-inch ultra-slim touch screen display is available in Full High Definition Screen Resolution ,Corning® Gorilla® Glass for extra protection against wear and use, in addition to the HP Sure View integrated privacy screen for privacy concerns.
Multiple work modes for improved use
When we think of the workspace, many of us still imagine a traditional setup with a desk, PC, and monitor. But flexibility is becoming increasingly important in our modern work environments, which is exactly why the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 was designed with five work modes.
Not only that, but the keyboard and hinge were built to function quietly, so converting the laptop from one mode to the next is discrete and comfortable.
Traditional laptop mode
Laptop mode is the traditional, classic way of using your computer’s keyboard and display. It’s rooted in the typical workspace layout but designed to be comfortable.
That’s because of this HP EliteBook’s small measurements and surprisingly low weight, which also make it less obtrusive. That’s especially true when you have to commute or travel for work.
Presentations and video with tent mode
For uninterrupted views when streaming or sharing, tent mode offers a display-focused view with the keyboard flipped backward. Your device is still easy to move and turn in this position thanks to the lightweight, while it faces a minimal risk of damage or distortion thanks to the strong exterior casing.
Extra stability with stand mode
When you’re by yourself and focused on streaming, you may prefer a configuration focused more on stability than sharing. That’s the intention for media/stand mode, which involves flipping your keyboard back behind your display to provide an even more stable setup for you to enjoy your favorite media.
Great audio and easy collaboration with conference mode
Conference mode is a great option when collaboration or group work is on the agenda. To do this, you’ll just lay your display back to be flush with the keyboard.
This mode allows you to get the most out of the stellar Bang & Olufsen audio along with the integrated dual-microphone array and quad stereo speakers.
Built-in noise cancellation also helps provide greater clarity during calls with multiple people speaking, or when other people on the call may be subject to environmental interference.
