There is still time for it to hit the market

The HP ENVY X2 is one of the first two computers we've seen with Qualcomm ARM processors inside along with the Asus Nova Go. An adapted Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor that will be able to play with Windows 10 and that they assure will offer great autonomy.

It is a long-awaited team and all the data points to the fact that we will see it in the second quarter of 2018. And although there is still time left, it is striking that the device has already been approved by the FCC.

The HP ENVY X2 received FCC (Federal Communications Commission) clearance on December 15, 2017 under the code name TPN-Q198.Quite some time before its foreseeable release on the market that from Redmond would take the opportunity to launch the next major Windows 10 update, which we know as Redstone 4.

Doing a little review, the HP ENVY X2 is a computer in the form of a convertible that has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor inside , which will be supported by a LPDDR4X type RAM memory of up to 8 GB completed by available storage in SSD format of up to 256 GB capacity.

The HP ENVY X2 screen comes on a 12.3-inch IPS touch panel that will offer a WUXGA+ resolution or what is the same, 1920 x 1280 pixels. A screen that has Gorilla Glass 4 protection. Of other specifications we are left with the inclusion of a Snapdragon X16 LTE modem that allows the use of a SIM card with 4G connectivity LTE or careful sound thanks to the use of speakers signed by Bang & Olufsen.

A computer that has Windows 10 S as the operating system and that also allows you to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. These are its specifications in table:

• Display: 12.3-inch with Gorilla Glass 4
• Resolution: WUXGA+
• Processor: Snapdragon 835
• RAM: 8GB
• Storage: 256GB
• Modem: Snapdragon X16 LTE
• Operating system: Windows 10 S with the option to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro
• Battery life of up to 20 hours in video playback and 700 hours in standby

What is striking about this news is that the equipment is already ready to go on the market, that it already has the approval of the FCC and yet It's going to take so long to appear in storesA period of time that will serve to see new proposals arrive and will even bring dangerously close to the equipment that later hits the market in the second generation with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 inside.
