I like Microsoft Surface tablet as much as the next guy slim windows slate cool detachable keyboard cover that's great but the thing starts at $8.99 and no matter which version you buy this keyboard cover is an extra $130 really adds up fast why can't somebody have something that's kind of like this but maybe cost a little less makes a little more sense that's why we have the HP Spectre x2 this is HP stake on the same concept again fairly slim fairly upscale looking Windows tablet keyboard cover detaches attaches magnetically pop it on pop it off here's a real kicker they throw the keyboard cover in with it and it starts at $7.99 so no matter which way you go you're still saving some money compared to a roughly comparable surface product now there are some differences here this guy runs Intel's Core m-series process is the second generation of the small surface neo standard Core i3 Core i5 core i7 so it's not going to be quite as fast but the new second generation of Core M processors much much better than last year's generation I frankly found using this in you know everyday computing web surfing social media video streaming totally fine didn't run into any problems at all I have a side the upgraded version here this is got the core m7 so it's about 1150 and again they for the keyboard cover in with it it's actually a metal cover so it feels different than the surface version and of course it's got a kickstand for when you want to set it that kind of like a laptop the difference here is the surface version has this flat panel that comes out this guy has kind of a metal u-shape right here it's a little bit stiff and here's the one problem we ran into when you fold it down like this every single person who came into the C net labs to check this out was mystified about how you get the kickstand out and once they discovered the button over here it was kind of stiff and hard to use you like that and then you got to reach down here and wrench the kickstand out so that's sort of the only the only sour design point in this otherwise you know fairly nice system that does almost everything you want from a surface and cost less and they give you the keyboard smart idea Microsoft I'm Dan Akron that is the HP speck x2
