HP launches Elite x2, battles Microsoft Suface

One thing that makes this 2-in-1 tablet unique is its capability to be repaired and upgraded easily — eliminating the need to go out and have someone else do it for you.

It’s been reported that the rear part of the device can be unscrewed to replace some of its components easily including the screen, hard drive, or storage. This can also be done if you’ve decided to upgrade its parts like adding more memory. The company claims that it won’t be a cumbersome task to do these things so users no longer need to spend on labor to have them fixed or replaced.
