When disconnected
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
Like many HP products, the Envy x2 has Beats audio, but the sound coming out of the bottom mounted speakers was hardly high fidelity. When we listened to the bass-heavy "Forget Me Nots," the output was loud enough to fill a room, but a little tinny. However, when we streamed the hard-rock "Rainbow in the Dark," the drums sounded like sticks hitting tin foil.
Click to EnlargeThe physical keyboard on the Envy x2's dock provided one of the most inaccurate, uncomfortable typing experiences we've had on any keyboard. The keyboard was so cramped, stiff and unresponsive that instead of our typical 86 words per minute with a 1-percent error rate we scored a horrible rate or 63 words per minute with a terrible 9 percent error rate on the Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor test. As we took with battery like Dell ACC52H Ac Adapter, Dell 2H098 Ac Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1000 Ac Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1100 Ac Adapter, Dell Inspiron 5100 Ac Adapter, Dell Precision M50 Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude D800 Ac Adapter, Dell Inspiron 6400 Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude D620 Ac Adapter, Dell Precision M60 Ac Adapter, Dell Inspiron 6000 Ac Adapter, Dell Latitude X300 Ac Adapter the test, we found that we often did not hit the keys with enough force for them to register, accidentally hit adjacent keys or got two spaces with the space bar instead of one. Our wrists were also uncomfortable as they hung over the edge of the narrow palmrest. However, if you're a hunt and peck typist, you may not experience these problems.
When disconnected from its dock, the Envy x2 uses the standard Windows 8 virtual keyboard, which stretches across the bottom of the screen in Windows 8 mode, but can be dragged around in desktop mode. When holding the device two-handed in landscape mode, we found it difficult to stretch our thumbs to the middle of the keyboard to hit the G and H keys. The operating system also provides a split keyboard, but with much smaller keys that we found harder to target. Though the Envy x2 does not support an active stylus, Windows 8 does have a handwriting recognition box you can use in lieu of a keyboard.
The 3.5 x 2.5-inch clickpad had a nearly-invisible ring-shaped texture on its surface that wasn't quite rough enough to keep our finger from slipping frequently. However, it allowed us to perform a wide variety of multi-touch gestures, including pinch to zoom, rotation, four-finger flick to minimize windows or pull up the task menu, and three-finger press to launch the browser. We were also able to swipe in from the left to launch the Charms menu, in from the right to switch tasks and down from the top to bring up the app bar. However, we had difficulty performing a three finger swipe to cycle through gallery images on the tiny surface.
The HP Envy x2 stayed pleasantly cool throughout our tests. After streaming video for 15 minutes, the middle of the keyboard measured just 80 degrees, the touchpad a mere 75 degrees and the bottom of the dock a pleasant 76 degrees Fahrenheit. We consider temperatures below 95 degrees comfortable and those below 90 degrees imperceptible.
