![]() ![]() HP isn’t providing a price quite yet, but considering the Spectre x2 starts at $1,149, we imagine the Envy x2 will start close to the one grand mark. The device comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage by default, and the only ports are USB-C and a headphone jack. Even with the keyboard attached, it still felt super light. Picking it up without the keyboard portion, it felt more like an iPad and less like a PC stuffed into a tablet form factor. It’s 6.9mm thin and 1.5 lb (HP’s website says 1.21 kg for some reason, but it stated the former on stage). Mostly, I was impressed by how thin and light it was, something surely aided by the new chipset. The 1080p screen isn’t the sharpest around, but colors and contrast were vibrant, and you won’t miss the extra resolution too much on a 12.3-inch display. The included pen was smooth with no obvious latency. Typing felt better than most tablet keyboards, perhaps even as good as the Surface Pro, and miles ahead of the iPad Pro. I only had a few minutes with the device, but the hardware felt premium. That means that, unlike a traditional kickstand, the laptop is fully covered – it’s basically always in a case. However, it uses a kickstand in the vein of the Huawei Matebook E, integrated into the keyboard cover rather than the tablet itself. The Envy x2 is very akin to the recent Spectre x2 at first glance. That puts even the best performers on the market to shame. But the impressive bit is that they look just like any other laptops and can supposedly last 20+ hours on a charge. Surprise: They feel just like any other laptops. They’re powered by the Snapdragon 835 – the same chip in the Galaxy S8, Pixel 2, and the vast majority of Android flagships in 2017. Qualcomm apparently thought I was cool enough to fly me out to its event in Hawaii (disclaimer), where it showed showed off two Windows PCs, the HP Envy X2 and the Asus NovaGo. Say hello the “Always Connected PC,” the first batch of which are powered by Qualcomm processors. Publishers can use the built-in digital rights management functionality in Windows 10 to restrict recording if they have licensed music that they don’t want to share, or they have other intellectual property concerns.It’s been several months since Microsoft announced it was bringing mobile-style ARM processors to Windows 10 and now we’re finally seeing the fruits of that labor. Recording is handled on a system level, which means that developers won’t have to do anything in order to enable the functionality. All of the files are saved as 1080p resolution MP4s, which can be edited by any video editing software. Through the Xbox app, gamers can then download all of the Game DVR videos that they’ve recorded on their Xbox One, and manage those that they made on their PC. (Performance-conscious gamers can also disable the functionality to maximize the framerate and graphics quality that they can squeeze out of their PC.) ![]() Whenever something worth recording happens in the game, users can hit the Windows and G keys to bring up the recording menu and grab video from the buffer, or start recording something cool that they’re about to do. For now, users can download Game Clips from their Xbox One onto their PC.) ( Update: the Game DVR feature isn’t available in the March build, but will be coming later. GeekWire got early access to a preview of the March build of the Xbox app on Windows 10 during a demo session at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. ![]()
