Keyboard and Touchpad

Typing on the Pavilion x360's keyboard is immenselysatisfying. The keys aren't snappy, but they feel smooth and require a decentamount of force and travel before they hit the bottom.

I sped through 74 words per minute on the 10FastFingers.comtyping test, which is faster than my current 70-wpm average. The keys traveledat 1.4 millimeters, which is on the cusp of our preferred 1.5 to 2.0 mm range,and they required a solid 70 grams of force to actuate.

Typing on the Pavilion x360's keyboard is immenselysatisfying.

The Pavilion x360's touchscreen panel was responsive as Idrew a crude painting of a sunset (a.k.a. five blue lines on top, five greenlines on the bottom, and an orange circle at the center - perfection).

The 4.3 x 2.1-inch touchpad has a semi-matte texture that'snot as comfortable as the ones installed on the EliteBook line, but it worksfine. The pad has Windows Precision drivers, so it handled Windows 10 gestures,such as three-finger tabbing and two-finger scrolling, nicely.

Audio

The Pavilion x360's top-firing Bang & Olufsen speakersare surprisingly great. While the speakers could have been slightly louder,they were able to carry Missio's "I See You" throughout a smalloffice. The opening vocals, combined with the keyboard notes, roped me into themoment. And when the drum beats dropped, I could feel the weight of the bass.

The audio benefits from the Bang & Olufsen audio app,which includes presets for Music, Movie and Voice. Within those settings aredials for bass, treble and dialog clarity, as well as a full equalizer.

Performance

Armed with an Intel Core i5-8265U processor and 8GB of RAM,the Pavilion x360 juggled 30 Google Chrome tabs and four 1080p YouTube videossimultaneously without a sweat.

The Pavilion x360 transcoded a 4K video to 1080p in 21minutes and 59 seconds on our HandBrake benchmark, which may seem long, butit's a lot quicker than the category average (31:19).

Graphics

Packed with an Intel UHD 620 GPU, the Pavilion x360 scored71,938 on the 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited graphics benchmark, which surpassedthe mainstream laptop average (61,258) as well as the performance from the Spin3's Intel UHD 620 (61,440) and the MateBook D's Radeon Vega 8 (63,302).

Webcam

While the Pavilion x360's 720p shooter isn't as grainy asmost webcams, it still struggled to reveal the detail in my hair and beard. Thecamera caught the red, white and blue in my shirt, but not the pink, green oryellow. Not to mention that it succumbed to the flair of the ceiling lights, sohalf of the ceiling was washed out.

Heat

The Pavilion x360 performed well under pressure. After itstreamed a 15-minute, 1080p video, the hottest underside got was 91 degreesFahrenheit, which is well within our 95-degree comfort zone. The center of thekeyboard and touchpad came in at 85 and 80 degrees, respectively.

Software and Warranty

There are several HP-branded utilities in the Pavilion x360,including HP JumpStart (a tutorial for Windows 10), HP Support Assistant(updates HP device drivers), HP Smart (tracks printing status), and HP PC HardwareDiagnostics (provides system information and tests). There's also HP CoolSense,which can automatically adjust performance and fan settings to offset heat.

There's also a ton of Windows 10 bloatware, including CandyCrush Saga, Gardenscapes and Asphalt Street Storm Racing.

Bottom Line

The HP Pavilion x360 is a solid mainstream laptop in that itoffers commendable performance, a satisfying keyboard, and some bangin'speakers.
