14 DAY TRIAL // Convertibles are the latest trend in mobile computing and if you’d like to get your hands on one just in time for the holiday season, you should mark this date in your calendar, December 16.
As part of its 12 Days of Deals, Microsoft is awarding the HP Pavilion x2 13 at a discounted price. We’re not sure which model will be part of the promotion, because users would normally have a choice between Intel Pentium 3560, 4th-gen Intel Core i3, i5 or AMD A6-1450 quad-core CPUs coupled with 8GB of RAM.
The discount offered by Microsoft awards the convertible for $599 / €436 to the first 20 people who pick it up from brick and mortar locations or to the first 100 folks who order it online via the Microsoft web Store.
After the items are sold out, the hybrid’s price will be beefed up to $699 / €509. That suggests that we might be talking about the Pavilion x2 13 model powered by an Intel architecture.
Now let's take a look at the rest of the specs. The convertible has a 13.3-inch IPS HD LED-backlit display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.
Processor choice is varied, as we have just told you, and in the graphics card department there’s the possibility to opt between Intel HD Graphics 4200 or AMD Radeon HD 8250.
The hybrid can be used both in tablet or laptop mode once the keyboard dock has been attached to the screen. On the tablet part, users will find the microSD card reader and the combo audio jack, while the dock is home to the SD card reader, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI out and combo audio jack.
In terms of connectivity, both models have Wi-Fi 802 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 with several other options available, as well.
To conclude, keep in mind that Microsoft is offering the HP Envy 15 notebook at a discounted price, on December 20, so if you’re an HP fan, this holiday season should be a great one for you.
