so HP came out with this new product they're calling it a three-in-one and it's kind of in the name the HP elite x3 so when they reached out he said hey we think you're the right guy to check it out to see if it's the next cool thing I said send it over I'm trying always uncover that next thing you you might not have known about including the idea of a three-in-one there's a phone component there's a desktop component in a laptop or in this case laptop and what HP is aiming to do with this x3 is to eliminate all three of those and replace them with one so in front of me here I have the x3 and desktop combo over here on the left is the x3 right here as you can see when this connects to the dock all of a sudden you can have a desktop style computing experience so the audio on this device is done by the legend over at Bang & Olufsen on the bottom here there's a USB C style connector we of course have our various buttons on the side here there is a headphone jack the cameras on the rear and there is a rear fingerprint scanner as well got a forward facing camera but there's also an iris scanner maybe listen you want to take the security to a completely different level you want to be in the future it's time for that retina scan check it out so your choice dual sim or sim card as well as SD expansion options are good there's a gasket and that's important because this device is actually water-resistant ip67 rating also inside the box here is the dock and this thing is testing on the x3 goes ahead and sit down on there your power port your wired Ethernet jack there's a display port a couple of USB 3 ports that are also capable of charging other devices at high speed and then over here is a USB C type connector as well USB C to a standard USB cable they did give us a pretty nice actually a power brick keep it all juiced up there's some adapters included for the dock if you happen to have a case on your x3 and it's a slightly wider stance on there there is a port to keep it locked you can lock this down so that it's secure all right so I've got the foam booted up as you can tell but for me this is really where it comes to life in this kind of environment this is what sets it apart from different devices that are out there since it's running Windows when you connect it to this dock right here all of a sudden your various peripherals become available to you and you can use this device in a more desktop PC light experience I'll show you what that's like put this in here now I'm connected with DisplayPort here and keep in mind the dock itself has a couple of USB s as well as a USB C on itself you can connect other peripherals to the dock now I have a keyboard and mouse connected these ones are Wireless so they're connected over Bluetooth but if these were wired USB devices they'd work just as well going straight into the dock so you'll see I move around here just like a desktop style interface and if I scroll through maybe open up a web browser here so here we have a full web browser you see I've got unbox therapy the unbox therapy YouTube page loaded up so whether it's consumption or creation it should have you covered you could come down here open a Word document for example and now to really get down to business typing something hopefully as important as this is obviously if you've got a longer form document having more screen real estate is going to make you more productive so what you can do here is as you'll see I just move around just like the mouse yeah it works like a touchpad if you've ever used a touchpad on a laptop before that's essentially how this operates now some of you guys might not know this but I'm not in the studio all the time I'm not sitting here in this cozy environment sometimes I like to get out into the wilderness sometimes I like to work for most but you can also do a wireless dock to something called the laptop which is a more traditional laptop style form factor going to be useful on airplanes potentially in coffee shop got a keyboard a display and once again the brains are always inside the main x3 unit so there you have it the elite x3 a super ambitious device aiming to eliminate the need for a number of different devices in your ecosystem a desktop a laptop and of course a phone you can start a book on your phone and finish it on your desktop or you can start a movie at home and then finish it on your phone it goes where you go x3 continuum the future watch this I'm out
