HP Chromebook x2 review: Gives Surface Pro, Pixel Slate, iPad Pro a run for their money

HP Chromebook x2 review: Gives Surface Pro, Pixel Slate, iPad Pro a run for their money

Let's get right to it: I love the HP x2. It's a terrific Chromebook laptop with a great display, a keyboard that's comfortable to type on and surprisingly peppy performance. And it's also a fabulous tablet -- thin and lightweight, responsive to touch and stylus and perceptive to orientation. Plus -- and this is a big one -- it comes with stylus and keyboard included at a time when many premium hybrids insist you buy them separately.

If you can live without the few remaining apps that require Windows or Mac OS -- and trust me, most of you can -- the Chromebook x2 is your jam.

Accessories included

Priced at $599, the x2's closest competitor is Google's new Pixel Slate, which also runs Google's stripped-down Chrome OS and starts at $599 (though higher-end configurations cost more). But the Pixel Slate comes without two vital accessories, and adding the $99 Pixel stylus and $199 keyboard jacks up the price to $899.

You run into the same problem with Microsoft's Surface Pro 6, which starts at $899, and the 12.9-inch version of Apple's newest iPad Pro, which starts at $799. Adding the stylus and keyboard adds hundreds more to those already hefty price tags.

Simple, straightforward and fast

Now, the x2's specs aren't particularly impressive, especially compared to the devices named above, with the exception of the entry-level Pixel Slate, which runs an inferior Celeron CPU. The x2 comes with an Intel Core m3-7Y30 processor, 4GB of RAM and a pitiful 32GB hard drive. 

HP doesn't offer alternate configurations in the US, though the version it sells in the UK has twice the RAM and storage capacity for £799, which converts to roughly $1,015 -- a price that totally undermines the x2's appeal. It's not yet available in Australia.

Sarah Tew/CNET

And yet, somehow, these components come together in way that surpassed my expectations. Often, two-in-ones seem confused -- staggering when you switch from laptop to tablet, or just moving slowly in general. But the x2 is positively zippy. I experienced zero performance lag, in tablet or laptop mode, when loading up websites or opening apps. I hit the button to install Spotify, blinked, and it was done. 

HP Chromebook x2 (12-f015nr)

Price as reviewed	$599
Display size/resolution	12.3-inch 2,400x1,600-pixel touchscreen
CPU	Dual core 2.6GHz Intel Core m3-7Y30
Memory	4GB LPDDR3 SDRAM
Graphics	Intel HD Graphics 615
Storage	32GB HDD
Webcam	Built-in 5-megapixel camera (front), 13-megapixel camera (rear) and dual array mic
Networking	802.11ac wireless, Bluetooth 4.2
Operating system	Chrome OS

Yes, a 32GB hard drive is lame -- but this is a Chromebook, after all. Some degree of reliance on internet-connected apps and storage services is part of the deal, and when it works, it's fast. That noted, Chromebooks have evolved; they're no longer confined to online-only apps and tools. Most, including this one, support the Google Play Store, which lets you download and use almost any Android app, whether you're connected to the internet or not.

Convertibility, uncompromised

Like the Surface Pro 6 and Pixel Slate, the x2 has a 12.3-inch touchscreen. Though it has the lowest resolution of the bunch (2,400x1,600 pixels) and is no match for the iPad Pro's Liquid Retina display, it's more than good enough for writing documents and reading articles. Whether I used a finger or the included stylus, the x2 was responsive and accurate. And the x2 converts elegantly to a standalone tablet -- simply lift the display off of two plastic protrusions connected to the keyboard.

Sarah Tew/CNET

I watched the Netflix stand up comedy miniseries Bumping Mics -- I recommend it, by the way -- and some short documentaries on the New York Times' website. Video looked bright, vibrant and super crisp. I don't mind the x2's significant bezel, which makes for a good grip when in tablet mode. And the Bang & Olufson stereo speakers are better than average: surprisingly loud and balanced, though, like nearly all laptops and tablets, weaker on the low-end.

Everything else you need in a tablet and laptop

The keyboard is a bit mushy, but big and comfortable enough to type on when resting on a lap or tabletop. The x2's touchpad is slightly undersized and not great -- but the iPad Pro's keyboard has none. The x2's included stylus runs on one AAA battery and can be stowed in a loop connected to the keyboard. It's not the most secure setup, and given the loop's propensity to catch on things, I'd be a bit concerned about its durability over the long haul.

With two USB-C ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD slot, the x2 beats out both the iPad Pro and the Surface Pro in the ports and connections department. It also has two cameras -- a 5-megapixel front-facing cam for selfies and a 13-megapixel setup on the back. They're not quite as good as what you'd find on a proper Android or iOS tablet, but they're fine for photos and video, with a user interface that's simple and intuitive.

Sarah Tew/CNET

Battery life is solid. HP says the x2 rated for up to 12.5 hours, and we got a bit more than 10 hours in our streaming video drain test; better than the Surface Pro and equal to the iPad Pro. Completely charging the x2's battery took about 30 minutes.

HP delivers a standout 2-in-1

It isn't as flashy as the pricier Surface Pro, Pixel Slate or iPad Pro. And, yes, there are some inherent limitations in any Chromebook. But, for hundreds less than any of them (in the US, at least), the HP x2 delivers everything most folks will need for entertainment and productivity from a laptop and a tablet. I recommend it.

2023 Chevy Bolt EV, EUV Get Major Price Cuts to Stay Competitive

2023 Chevy Bolt EV, EUV Get Major Price Cuts to Stay Competitive

Patience can be a virtue. The Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV have always been relatively affordable, hovering below the average new-car transaction price. But now, for the 2023 model year, these two electric cars are much more affordable.

Chevrolet announced on Wednesday that the 2023 Bolt EV and 2023 Bolt EUV earned some serious price cuts. A 2023 Bolt EV will cost $26,595 (including $995 for destination), a major drop from 2022's starting price of $32,495. Moving up to the 2LT variant will cost $29,795, down from $35,695.

The higher-riding Bolt EUV is also staring down one heck of a haircut. A base LT now costs $28,195, down from $34,495, while the fancier Premier trim stickers for $32,695 instead of $38,995. If you want the slick new Redline Edition package, which zhushes up the aesthetics, it's a $495 upgrade for either EUV trim. The Redline Edition is not available on the Bolt EV.

Now, it wouldn't be obscene to assume that some de-contenting has taken place in order to bring these prices down. But, according to an email from a Chevrolet spokesperson, the content and options for the two models "are pretty much the same."

"The new price reflects our ongoing desire to make sure Bolt EV/EUV is competitive in the marketplace and better aligns the MSRP with average transaction price, providing more price transparency to the customer." So, by the sounds of it, dealers were already selling some vehicles below MSRP, so these lower prices are better reflective of what buyers have actually been paying at the point of purchase.

While the Bolt EUV crossover was new for the 2022 model year, the Bolt EV picked up some adjustments at the same time to bring the two models closer together, including revised aesthetics inside and out. Both models rely on a single electric motor to produce 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, which is sent to the front wheels. The EPA estimates the Bolt EV is good for about 259 miles on a single charge, while the slightly larger Bolt EUV is rated at 247 miles.

Snap Unveils Pixy, a $230 Pocket-Size Flying Camera Drone

Snap Unveils Pixy, a $230 Pocket-Size Flying Camera Drone

What's happening

Snap unveiled Pixy, a $230 pocket-size flying camera drone that can follow you around.

Why it matters

It's another example of how social media companies are getting more serious about releasing consumer hardware.

What's next

Pixy goes on sale Thursday in the US and France.

Snapchat has a new way for people to capture photos and videos: a flying camera drone called Pixy that fits in the palm of your hand.

The drone goes on sale Thursday on Pixy.com in the US and France, with the price starting at $230. Snap said drones pre-ordered will start to arrive by the end of May. Photos and videos captured on the drone will get downloaded into Snapchat Memories, where users are able to store content for later use.

Pixy is another example of social media companies experimenting with consumer hardware products. Though Snapchat parent company Snap is known for the ephemeral-messaging app, Snap calls itself a camera company. Last year, Snap unveiled its latest pair of Spectacles, AR glasses that let creators overlay digital images onto their view of the real world. There have been rumors for years that Snap has been working on a selfie drone.

Snap unveiled Pixy at its fourth annual Partner Summit, an event the company is streaming online on Thursday.

To use the drone, people press a button and select one of several flight paths: hover, orbit, reveal, favorite and follow. If you select follow, for example, Pixy will follow you around as you go on a hike or walk around a city. Pixy will automatically take photos and videos during flight, but users can program Pixy to only take only videos. The drone will float in the air and capture images before flying back to the palm of your hand.

"Pixy is ready to fly at a moment's notice. There are no controllers. There's no complex setup. Simply set a flight path and let Pixy take it from there," Snap CEO Evan Spiegel said in his keynote remarks, which was viewed by CNET before the conference.

Snap will have to convince its users to capture photos and videos on a product that hasn't become mainstream yet. There are products similar to Pixy for purchase that are also cheaper, such as Air Neo from AirSelfie, which costs $150, and more expensive drone cameras made by DJI. 

A Snapchat spokesperson said there are two flight packs available to buy online. The base flight pack costs $230 and comes with a bumper strap to carry the drone, a charging cord and a battery. There's also a bundled flight pack that costs $250 that includes everything in the base pack but also includes additional rechargeable batteries and a charger.

A battery costs $20 and a charger costs $50. The guide for Pixy doesn't say how much time the battery lasts, but it says it will allow you to capture content over five to eight flights. With 16GB of flash storage, Pixy can store up to 1,000 photos or up to 100 videos. The product is lightweight at 101 grams. Video is shot at 2.7K and the camera is 12 megapixels.

Videos shot on Pixy don't capture sound, but users will be able to edit the footage on Snapchat to include music, a voice-over and other effects.

Pixy also isn't water resistant and might not be able to complete its flight paths if there's too much wind. People are also advised to avoid using the drone over water, near highly reflective surfaces or where there's an abrupt change in elevation, such as a cliff or balcony.

Snapchat has more than 600 million monthly users and more than 330 million daily active users worldwide, the company said.

Samsung Launches Mobile Wallet App to Compete With Apple and Google

Samsung Launches Mobile Wallet App to Compete With Apple and Google

What's happening

Samsung just launched its mobile wallet platform for storing digital IDs, credit cards, car keys and other essentials.

Why it matters

Smartphone makers are attempting to replace the physical wallet with digital alternatives. Google recently announced a similar revamp to its Wallet app, while Apple is adding new features to Apple Pay.

Samsung is the latest tech giant trying to replace your physical wallet with a digital one that lives on your phone. The company on Thursday launched Samsung Wallet, a new mobile wallet for storing digital keys, boarding passes, ID cards and credit cards. Apple and Google announced major updates for their own virtual wallet platforms in recent weeks.

Samsung previously announced its mobile wallet in February alongside the Galaxy S22, but only just launched the platform on Thursday. Samsung is merging two existing services to create Samsung Wallet. The app combines Samsung Pay, its mobile payment service for storing payment cards and vaccine records, and Samsung Pass, which manages passwords and login information for apps and websites. 

The unified app signals an expansion of Samsung's efforts to make its service better compete with those offered by Apple and Google. Samsung Wallet is launching via an app update, and Galaxy device owners can migrate their information directly from the Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pass apps. 

Samsung Wallet will support official forms of identification such as driver's licenses and student IDs later this year. Google also announcement in May that it's working with governments to incorporate IDs into Google Wallet. Apple Wallet already supports virtual IDs in several states.

Samsung also wants its wallet app to serve as a hub for digital keys to your car and home, functionality that's already availableon the iPhone. The company says it's working with nine home security companies on virtual home keys, and Samsung Wallet will also integrate with the company's SmartThings platform. As for car keys, Samsung Wallet will support digital car keys for certain BMW, Hyundai and Genesis models. Korean Air will also be Samsung's first partner for storing digital boarding passes.

In addition to storing traditional payment methods like credit, debit and loyalty cards, Samsung will also allow users to manage their cryptocurrencies from its new Wallet app. The entire platform is protected by Samsung's Knox security software. 

American are increasingly embracing the idea of replacing their physical credit cards with digital ones. Usage of in-store mobile payment services is expected to surpass 50% of all smartphone users in the US by 2025, says a 2021 report from eMarketer. 

Now, tech companies are developing more comprehensive alternatives to the traditional wallet, a mission that Google and Apple both made clear during their recent press events. "With Apple Wallet, we're working hard on our goal to replace your physical wallet," Corey Fugman, Apple's senior director for Wallet and Apple Pay, said during the company's Worldwide Developers Conference last week. 

Adoption is estimated to take off in the coming years. One in two people are expected to use a mobile wallet by 2025, according to a July 2021 report from financial tech company Boku and market research company Juniper Research. The launch of Samsung Wallet is also another sign that tech companies are increasingly relying on apps and services to lock in existing users.

Five years of social media history can get anyone in trouble

Five years of social media history can get anyone in trouble

"Where do you see yourself five years from now?"

This question gets asked a lot at job interviews because people want to see what your future goals are and how you expect to change and grow. In the last five years, I went to college, learned to drive, got a car, lost a car, graduated, had two jobs and moved seven times.

A lot can change in five years, but that's the stretch of time that the Department of State wants to dig through social media before granting a refugee access into the US. On Thursday, the government agency filed a notice to the Federal Register, proposing its latest process for vetting immigrants applying for US visas.

In the new procedure, the State Department recommends requiring immigrants to hand over their social media handles from the last five years, as well as any phone numbers and email addresses they've used. The Department of Homeland Security already requests social media handles voluntarily from visitors, and has even recommended asking for passwords.

The US is expecting up to 65,000 new immigrants who will need to go through extreme vetting before being granted a travel visa, part of a policy President Trump has advocated from the White House and on Twitter.

The State Department said it would not be asking for passwords from visa applicants, but when profiles on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are public, they might not have to. Officers are also "directed not to engage or interact with individuals on or through social media," David Donahue, the acting assistant secretary of the Bureau of Consular Affairs wrote in the notice.

In the notice, Donahue also said people can't be denied entry into the US based on what their social media shows about their political views, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, gender or ethnicity.

But think about how different your social media presence was five years ago compared to now. Things you've said, done or posted that you look back at now and cringe at. People that you've forgotten you were even friends with, opinions you changed as you matured.

I went back on my Facebook timeline to 2011 and 2012. It's like a time capsule of bad clothes, quotes I thought were deep ("Defeating a sandwich, only makes it tastier." What?), and stupid photos. You know, your normal high school kid experience, except it's all logged in one convenient place.

Imagine if you couldn't get into another country because someone you were Facebook friends with five years ago later turned out to be a person of interest in an investigation.

It's no wonder today's teens and millennials are flocking to platforms like Snapchat, where nothing you post is permanent. When public social media activity can jeopardize your future in college applications and job interviews, being able to post that keg stand photo doesn't seem worth all the Likes anymore.

And now when the government agencies want in on your social media history, there's a lot more at stake than jobs and education.

It's Complicated: This is dating in the age of apps. Having fun yet? These stories get to the heart of the matter.

Asus tri band router asus router for gaming asus gaming router aus asus wifi gaming router gaming port asus router asus laptop for gaming and work asus new gaming pc asus the gaming laptop

Asus gives its gaming router a quad-band boost at CES 2022

Asus gives its gaming router a quad-band boost at CES 2022

This story is part of CES, where CNET covers the latest news on the most incredible tech coming soon.

Asus is using CES 2022 to launch the latest additions to its lineup of high-powered ROG Rapture gaming routers, including the first-ever quad-band gaming router with four separate bands of traffic.

That new flagship is the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000, and it builds on last year's addition of Wi-Fi 6E support by adding a second 5GHz band into the mix. Both 5GHz bands and the 6E-exclusive 6GHz band offer top transfer rates of up to 4.8Gbps, while the 2.4GHz band promises top theoretical speeds as high as 1,148Mbps (1.148Gbps). The router runs on Broadcom Wi-Fi 6 chipsets and a 2.0GHz, 64-bit quad-core CPU, a step up from last year's 1.8GHz CPU. Other improvements are a matching set of two Ethernet LAN ports capable of accepting incoming wired speeds of up to 10Gbps, plus a 2.5Gbps WAN port and four additional gigabit LAN ports.

As for features, you can expect the usual barrage of tricks intended to eliminate gaming lag, including game-specific server guidance, "triple-level game acceleration" and a new Asus RangeBoost Plus feature that promises to deliver better Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. And, yep, you can customize the router's RGB lighting effects, too.

Just don't plan on any of that coming cheap -- Asus expects to start selling the ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 worldwide for $649 starting sometime in the first quarter of the year.

Sometime after that in Q2, expect the arrival of another addition to the ROG Rapture line, the GT-AX11000 Pro. With the same spidery design, the same top speeds on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and the same 2.0GHz processor powering things on the inside, it's essentially the GT-AXE16000 but stripping out the Wi-Fi 6E support and the 6GHz band to help bring the price down to $499. 

Also missing from the mix: those 10Gbps LAN jacks -- instead, you get a pair of 2.5Gbs ports that you can aggregate together for a double-wired 5Gbps connection.

We'll plan on testing both models out once they hit the market to see how they perform in practice, so expect us to report back once we have more to share.

How to Fix Netflix Error Code M7111-5059 if You Have a VPN

How to Fix Netflix Error Code M7111-5059 if You Have a VPN

If you're having problems watching Netflix while using a virtual private network on your phone or laptop, you may have seen error code M7111-5059 displayed along with this message: "Whoops, something went wrong. Streaming error. You seem to be using an unblocker or proxy. Please turn off any of these services and try again." 

VPNs are legal in the US , but Netflix faces stiff penalties if it doesn't abide by the licensing laws of each country it operates in. So Netflix polices its media distribution by enforcing service geoblocks through IP address detection. However, VPNs are designed to hide those IP addresses. They also keep your internet provider from seeing what you're watching, and can protect you while you watch on shared Wi-Fi networks. 

One thing to keep in mind: While people around the world use VPNs with Netflix every day, Netflix can suspend or terminate any account it determines to be abusive. We don't want that to happen to you, so be sure to read your Netflix membership terms of use. 

Cutting to the chase, it's possible your VPN isn't good enough to outwit Netflix's automated detection or just isn't configured with the ideal streaming settings. There are a few ways to change that. Here's how.

Read more: This VPN Trick Will Let You Watch Your Netflix Shows While You're Traveling

Why am I getting Netflix error code M7111-5059? 

There are two possible reasons you received a proxy error. Either Netflix has detected that you're using a VPN, or your residential IP address is on one of Netflix' lists of blocked addresses. Although the latter was a more common problem in 2021, receiving a proxy error message in 2022 most likely means your VPN has been spotted by Netflix.

Netflix has been playing Whack-a-Mole with VPN users for years and has recently increased its efforts to block viewers from streaming while protected by a VPN. Using a shady VPN with limited obfuscation, few server locations and a small IP address list (that's most free VPNs) makes you far more likely to be blocked. But even if you're using the best VPN available, you might still need to tweak a few settings.

1. Get a quality VPN

I don't get paid by VPN providers, and I always prefer to direct you to free, open-source tools whenever I can -- but to get past a Netflix block, a VPN has to pay for servers in cities across the globe, buying up thousands of IP addresses to use in rotation. I never recommend free VPNs in the first place, and when it comes to Netflix, they're worse than useless. If you're cash-strapped, buy yourself some time by test-driving premium VPNs via trial periods.

If you're a heavy streamer, I recommend ExpressVPN. Sure, it costs a bit more than average, but there's a reason it's still our top-recommended VPN. Whether you stream from Hulu, YouTube or Netflix, this thing is a beast against geoblocks. It's got servers in 160 locations across 94 countries and each one of those servers dishes out thousands of IP addresses. ExpressVPN also has specific features to improve media streaming, and an encryption protocol that is both discreet and lightning-fast. 

Give it a spin, select Lightway protocol from its settings menu and connect to any city outside of New York for the quickest and most reliable Netflix connection.

2. Switch your VPN server

If you're running your VPN through a server in a highly trafficked location, you may have a harder time dodging Netflix blocks. One of the easiest fixes is to close out of your VPN client completely, then reopen it and see what city your VPN connects to by default. Whatever that city is, avoid connecting through it when you're trying to stream Netflix. 

Instead, pick a medium-to-large city within a hundred miles of the default city. That should get you close enough to enjoy reliable infrastructure and service, while still being away from a city with IPs that are commonly targeted for geoblocking. For example, if you're using ExpressVPN, avoid New York servers and shoot for New Jersey.

3. Clear your cache and delete cookies

When you log in to Netflix and the service sees your IP address, it also looks for cookies and user-identifying items in your browser cache. If the information there doesn't match the location of your IP address, Netflix throws you an error message. So if you're getting the M7111-5059 error while using a VPN, completely close your browser, restart your VPN and do the following.

First, make sure your browser is updated and running its most recent version. 

1. If you're using Google Chrome, open a new browser window and click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. 

2. Click More Tools, then click Clear Browsing Data.

3. You'll see several boxes you can check. Check the following: Browsing history, Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files. 

4. Click Clear data, then close Chrome and open it again. 

Now make sure your VPN is still connected and then navigate to Netflix in your browser. 

If you're streaming from mobile, the cached data on your phone could still cause problems. So if you've checked the other steps and still can't connect on mobile, close out of everything on your phone, then delete and reinstall the Netflix app before trying again.

4. Switch your VPN protocol

All commercial VPNs that we recommend come with a handful of encryption protocol choices that you can find under settings or preference menus. Once you find the protocol settings in your VPN's desktop client or app, select OpenVPN from among the options, particularly OpenVPN UDP if it's available. 

If you're using ExpressVPN, switch to the service's Lightway UDP protocol as your default choice, then close out of and relaunch the VPN client. If you're using your VPN on iOS while trying to watch Netflix, you might be somewhat limited in choices. Look in your VPN's protocol options for IKEv2. 

Be sure you've saved your choice before closing out of the client and restarting the VPN completely. Then fully close and relaunch your browser or Netflix app once you've restarted your VPN.
