You can’t really beat the versatility of a 2-in-1 laptop. You can swing the screen around 360 degrees and use it like a tablet or prop it up like a painter’s easel for watching movies or sharing a work presentation. If you’re interested in picking up such a machine, you’re in luck. Today you can get the HP Pavilion x360 for just $459.99 at HP, which is a massive savings of $340. In addition to the 2-in-1 form factor, it also has a spacious 15.6-inch touchscreen and a solid CPU–let’s dive in!
Inside you’ll find an Intel Core i5-1235U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage. Given the hardware, that’s enough power for day-to-day tasks like binge watching your favorite show on Hulu, rocking out to your carefully curated Spotify playlist, Office work, and so on. A Core i5 chip paired with an SSD provides more than enough power for standard computing chores.
The spacious, small-bezel multi-touch display measures 15.6-inches, but hides the one drawback of this laptop: A middling 1366×768 resolution. That can certainly get the job done if your budget is tight, but we’d recommend spending another $50 to upgrade to a full 1080p screen if you’re able to. You have the option to customize the laptop before you buy.
Regardless of which display resolution you opt for, getting a 2-in-1 laptop with a powerful Core i5 processor inside for $500 is a solid deal. Don’t miss out!
