HP has a difficult time in the world of mobile technology, so it has decided to focus directly on a fairly defined professional sector in Windows Phone. However, the share of Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile is increasingly low, which will mean an inevitable disappearance in the medium or long term. On the other hand, these devices have the possibility of becoming a desktop system thanks to Continuum, something that can benefit certain sectors of work and those that HP has quickly shaken hands with. The HP Elite X3 lands in Europe today and targets the US as the next relevant market, adjusting prices.
This device has, how could it be otherwise, with the possibility of carrying out the Continuum function. The problem is that despite its high price, the device does not have the necessary dock for these functions, that is, we will have to buy the dock for Continuum separately, which will notably increase spending on a device that has good hardware, but suffers from quite limited software today, as Windows Phone is suffering from absolute neglect by application developers.
The device has a 6-inch screen, with 2560 x 1440 resolution (WQHD). To move the screen, a Snapdragon 820 processor, the best of Qualcomm. As for RAM, we find 4GB, the typical thing in any basic laptop with Windows 10, but that does not correspond to the price of the device. As for storage, basic 64 GB, with a fingerprint reader so fashionable. The connectivity, based on a single USB-C so fashionable today and with a 3.5 mm jack connector for headphones in the upper area. The price, depending on the country, is around € 870 in Europe, while in the United States it will reach approximately $ 800.
