HP has just announced the Chromebook x2, which they have given the title of the “world’s first Chromebook detachable”. It’s essentially a tablet that docks onto a keyboard, has stylus support, and runs Chrome OS.
It has a QHD (2400 x 1600) 12.3-inch IPS touch display covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The tablet and keyboard part come together via a magnetic hinge.
Powering the Chromebook x2 is a 7th-generation Intel Core m3 processor, up to 8GB of LPDDR3 SDRAM, and 32GB of eMMC storage, which is expandable up to 256GB via microSD.
The HP Chromebook x2 starts at $599 (~Php31k) and will be available in the US on June 10.
