Being able to occasionally collaborate with colleagues in-person, yet work from home most of the time: that has got to be the most balanced work setup ever! To fully enjoy and thrive in hybrid work, however, we need a compact laptop that allows us maximum flexibility for life on the go.
HP Pavilion x360 weighs around 1.5 kilograms, which is quite standard for convertibles. It boasts of a spruce blue exterior, which gives off a classy and business-like, silvery sheen to it.

Among its best features, that multi-taskers love is that it lets you easily set up and toggle between multiple virtual desktops at once for personal, work, school or gaming. What’s even better is that it comes with MS office Home & Student 2021 pre-installed so you have all the tools you need to get your work done.
As a convertible, the HP Pavilion x360 easily goes from a laptop to a tablet– and it does it in style, adapting to whatever screen-viewing angle you desire!
When work is done, or anytime you need a break, just flip back the keyboard to “tablet” mode – or all the way to a full 360 degree, then unleash your artistic side with a pen on hand that comes with the laptop, or tap away on the 14-inch screen for a quick game.
Should you need to drop by the client’s office to do a slide presentation, going “tent” mode is best. Just twist the keyboard back (to support its own weight) in a tent-like fashion, then touch, swipe, and zoom on the screen to navigate.
By end of the day, go “reverse” mode and enjoy a portable cinematic experience. Just flip the keyboard downward and out of the way (by 180 degrees, to use it as stand), then power through your binge sessions with the boundary-breaking Intel® Core™ processors quietly working its magic in the background.
Users will find the tent and reverse modes to be particularly ideal for video streaming. This, made enjoyable with the ample full HD screen, amazing Audio by B&O, and of course its 5G connectivity. The laptop is built to support low-latency, blazing fast data speeds for faster downloads and smooth streaming.
