HP's Chromebook X2 is a 2-in-1 convertible that works as both a tablet and a laptop. (That’s a $300 accessory, though, so it really should be better than a keyboard HP includes with every X2.) But it definitely feels more cramped than the Magic Keyboard I use with my 11-inch iPad Pro. It feels a little cramped, but not any worse than the Surface Go’s keyboard. The keys have solid travel and are quite responsive, though they’re a little bit loud. The Chromebook X2’s keyboard is pretty good considering it has to fit a relatively small device. Once you have that set, the X2 is basically identical to the Microsoft Surface Go, at least in looks.
But instead of having a built-in kickstand, the X2 has a second cover that serves as a kickstand which magnetically snaps on to the back.
The keyboard cover goes on the front, much like Microsoft’s Surface Keyboard. To turn the X2 from a tablet into a functional laptop, HP designed a two-piece case. As such, I was glad to find that the Chromebook X2 had one included. When I reviewed the Pixel Slate back in 2018, my main takeaway was that Chrome OS still required a keyboard.

The iPad Pro and various Microsoft Surface devices also let you magnetically attach a stylus, so this isn’t really a big innovation - but it’s still nice to have. The right side of the tablet is basically unadorned, aside from a mark that shows where you can magnetically attach the Chromebook X2’s pen to its side for easy access.
