Let me first say I love this computer. It's a business model and priced twice to three times the consumer models, but I used it when I was working and never wanted to give it up. This is my second owned one - not that the first one is faulty in any way: it's still running well at 6 years old. The main issue I had in purchasing this one was in getting answers to questions. The title of the laptop includes the words "3 Year Warranty" but my Support Assistant only showed one year. I went to 10+ areas to try to get that resolved. Camille in the Care Pack Dept. took pity on me (she believed me: I never thought anyone else did), confirmed it, gave me an email to an escalations department who finally confimed that yes, my Care Pack was three years and my warranty was one. What's the difference, I asked? Still waiting for an answer to that. See the name of this notebook that I'm reviewing? 3 Yr Warranty. Jeesh.
My work computer went out and I had to order this one using my phone. I really didn't realize it was the 360 until it arrived and I was pretty stoked about that! It's quite a bit smaller than my last laptop and lacks the numbers keyboard, so I did get a wireless keyboard for it. I love that it is so compact- even with the keyboard! And it comes with a pen!
Beautiful design and an excellent upgrade for my software development needs

It's been about 6 years since I bought my last HP laptop. To me, that's an amazing feat. To create a machine that has held up to years of use. So, when I came to look for my next laptop, HP was at the top of my list. I upgraded to the higher line of machine, the Elitebook, and I am amazed with the design decisions that HP has made. First, it's USB-C charging, so it is a common standard and plugs right into my existing setup. The shell of the laptop is all metal, no plastic, and it is amazingly thin. Now on to the small things that HP added that I think are extremely thoughtful. The integrated camera has an integrated privacy screen. The slider is almost invisible. You just slide your finger across and you can see the screen move into place ensuring your privacy. Since this is a touch screen, it comes with a pen. My old laptop had a pen as well and this new one is upgraded. First, it has an integrated battery and is charged via USB-C as well. Then, and my favorite feature, is that it magnetically mounts to the side of the laptop, and it's a strong magnet. I'm really impressed. Since I do software development, I bought this laptop specifically for the upgraded RAM and CPU, and so far, I have been able to do everything I have wanted without slowing down the machine. If you are looking for a lightweight, high-quality machine with good design aesthetics, give this model a try.
Workhorse laptop that delivers on speed and functionality. I can switch between tablet mode and touchscreen while utilizing it for various software programs all at the same time.
