🔺🔺🔺Pavilion x360 is a notebook that can realize 360° flipping on the screen. At the same time, there are many surprises in appearance and design. So how about HP Pavilion x360? Is the HP Pavilion x360 worth buying? This article will provide a comprehensive evaluation of the HP Pavilion x360 notebook. The Pavilion series notebook is HP's mid-to-high-end products for the home field. This series of products are exquisite in workmanship, unique in design language, and has a good competitive edge in the same price range.

🔺🔺🔺This evaluation of the Pavilion x360 is a notebook that can achieve 360° flip, and there are also many surprises in appearance and design. How to look at it together. The model color is Champagne Gold and Star Silver. This test is the Star Silver version. The whole machine adopts a simple and smooth design style, which is a very streamlined design from the side. And the machine uses micro-arc design in many places, which is most obvious in the peripheral edge, C-side and bottom.

🔺🔺🔺It is these designs that make the machine visually smooth and natural, and more suitable for the palm of the hand, the overall grip is excellent. The surface of the A surface is made of metal, and the surface is sandblasted. The treatment is more delicate, and it has a unique metallic beauty and a smooth touch. One side of the shaft is more square, which is convenient for 360° flipping, and the other three sides are curved, which is visually consistent with the bottom wedge design.

🔺🔺🔺The middle part is the logo, and the bottom part is polished, which is very textured. At the same time, there is a slender metal edge in the middle to facilitate opening the screen. The entire A side is very simple and gives a sense of agility. The most striking feature of the aircraft is the 360° flip screen and DNA stripe design. The upper and lower sides of the shaft position are semi-circular design for easy rotation, and at the same time form a unified visual, by rotating into a variety of shapes to adapt to a variety of use scenarios, the specific experience will be shown in detail later; DNA stripe design is unique to the Pavilion series The design language has thick and thin irregular parallel lines in the palm rest position. The smooth lines give people a feeling of speed and technology interweaving. It is worth mentioning that DNA stripes are not painted on the C surface.

🔺🔺🔺It is integrated with the C-surface coating so that there is no need to worry about the effects of wear and tear. The aircraft continues the tradition of the Pavilion series of exquisite workmanship, simple and smooth design style is not only reflected in the streamlined processing of the fuselage, but its iconic DNA stripe design can also reflect this point. Coupled with the use of metal materials, the machine as a whole exudes a sense of quality and elegance, the overall temperament of the product does have a different feeling.

🔺🔺🔺In order to achieve a better 360° flip screen, the machine's rotating shaft adopts a parallel linkage double-axis design with moderate damping, stable and reliable. The whole rotating shaft is made of metal material and bright surface, and has a long service life, and is divided into a rounded concave shape toward the outside to ensure the visual sense of unity. The 360° flip screen of the machine realizes four usage modes, namely notebook mode, standing mode, tent mode, and tablet mode. Different modes are suitable for different use environments, which is very convenient for users to operate. For example, the standing mode is more suitable for watching film and television works, and the screen of the machine supports ten-finger touch, which is more convenient and quicker to operate. Of course, the method of use is not necessarily limited to the four provided by the official, and flexible use can bring unexpected effects. The machine adopts a thin and light design, the thickest part is the only 19.8mm, and the actual weight is about 1.6kg.

🔺🔺🔺The thin design makes the machine easy to carry on the one hand and reduces the burden on the use and switching of different modes on the other hand. Although it is light and thin, the material selection and internal materials of the whole machine are not reduced. This can be seen from the A-side, the shaft design and the bottom washer. Overall, the 360° flip screen is not simply a simple screen rotation. It not only involves the process of rotating the shaft, but also needs to consider the grounding stability and scratch resistance of each surface in different modes, and the stability of different angles. And the degree of operator comfort. Obviously, the machine is just right in these aspects, and the 360° flip screen experience is very good throughout the use.

🔺🔺🔺The screen of the machine is a 15.6''-inch full HD IPS screen that supports ten-point touch and has a viewing angle of 178°. The actual viewing of the screen is clear and sharp, the color reproduction is accurate, the viewing angle is relatively large, and the touch is sensitive and accurate.

🔺🔺🔺It is a high-quality screen. At the top of the screen is a high-definition camera with microphones on both sides for network video calls with stereo effects. The keyboard of the machine is an island type, the single keycap is relatively large, and the large distance between the key and the key can effectively prevent accidental touch.

🔺🔺🔺The overall feel of the keyboard is soft and comfortable, the keystroke is moderate, the keys are soft, the rebound is rapid, and the whole typing process is relatively comfortable; the touchpad adopts an integrated design, and the left and right buttons have moderate hardness and delicate touch, providing a relatively good sense of control.

🔺🔺🔺The sound is located at the opening above the keyboard, using B&O audio and sound optimization system. The whole machine performs well in the external effect, which is very suitable for entertainment video. Interface, the left side of the fuselage is the power button, boot light, notebook lock hole, USB2.0, headset, volume plus or minus button, hard disk indicator; the right side of the fuselage is the adapter interface, adapter indicator, 2 × USB3.0, SD card slot. Overall, the machine interface is relatively complete in number and can meet daily use. The air outlet of the machine is located at the rear of the fuselage. In actual use, the air volume is relatively sufficient. In addition, the HP CoolSense cooling system can realize intelligent fan speed regulation to maximize heat dissipation efficiency.

🔺🔺🔺Pavilion x360 is equipped with8th Generation Intel Dual-Core i3-8130U base clock 2.2GHz, turbo to 3.4GHz., 4 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM and 16GB Intel Optane memory, total 20GB memory. the machine is equipped with a 1TB mechanical hard disk, and the graphics card is Intel core graphics HD 520. Let's take a detailed test to see the actual performance of the whole machine.
