HP Elite x2 1013 G3 2-in-1 Laptop 13.3" 3000x2000 i5-8350U 16GB 128GB SSD

13.3" 3K detachable 2-in-1

The HP Elite x2 1013 G3 is a detachable 2-in-1 laptop with a 13.3-inch 3000 x 2000 IPS touchscreen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. It runs on an Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core processor with 16 GB LPDDR3 memory and a 128 GB NVMe SSD. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed. The package includes a backlit travel keyboard and an active pen.

Upgrade from heavier convertibles

This device replaces bulkier convertibles that lack a true tablet mode and older ultrabooks without pen support. The jump is worth it when you need a lightweight detachable with a high-resolution 3:2 display for inking and a quad-core processor that reaches 3.6 GHz under load. Buyers who need more than 128 GB of internal storage or discrete graphics should look elsewhere.

Simple setup with a magnetic keyboard and pen

The travel keyboard attaches magnetically and connects instantly without cables. The active pen pairs via Bluetooth for immediate inking. Common issues include the limited 128 GB SSD filling quickly and the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 struggling with heavy creative workloads. Thunderbolt ports handle external storage or docks to expand capability.
