Welcome to a laptop battery specialist
of the Compaq Laptop Battery
Despite being a two-piece hybrid device that can be used as both notebook and tablet, HP’s Elite x2 1011 G1 feels more like a heavy notebook of old when you first pick it up and start using it. It’s of a small size (11.6 inches) and it has the sturdy build that HP is known for in its business laptops, but it could stand to be lighter given that it runs one of Intel’s silent-running Core M processors.
At 1.52kg, the overall weight of the Elite x2 1011 G1 is more than we expected of this hybrid, with the tablet weighing 772g on its own, and the base weighing slightly less at 754g. Part of the weight issue is caused by the base having its own battery with such as HP WQ001AA Battery, HP HSTNN-DB1U Battery, HP HSTNN-IBOI Battery, HP Envy 15 Battery, HP Envy 14 Battery, HP LF246AA Battery, HP Pavilion dv9005 Battery, HP HSTNN-OB81 Battery, HP 504610-001 Battery, HP HSTNN-IB99 Battery, HP Envy 13 Battery, HP Pavilion ZD8000 Batteryinstalled, in addition to the extra rigidness that has been applied to both the tablet and the base and its drop-down hinge mechanism. This rigidness conforms to military specifications for durability.
Given that we’ve seen 13in convertible laptops with a lighter overall weight (Acer’s R13 comes to mind, for example), the heaviness of the Elite x2 is a little hard to handle at first, but you have to remember that it can be used as a discrete tablet away from its base, while a regular laptop can’t. As such, it all depends on what your needs are; if you absolutely need a Windows-based device that can be used, at any time, exclusively as a tablet, then this might be a go for you.
As a business device, it’s made for manageable fleets, with the focus being more on that and the durability of the product as a whole. It comes with a vPro chipset and more security features than most other hybrid devices, including drive encryption and external device access restrictions (USB drives, for example).
