HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3 13.3" FHD Touchscreen 2-in-1 i5-8350U 8GB 128GB SSD

Compact convertible for mobile professionals

The HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3 is a 13.3 inch 2-in-1 laptop with a 360 degree hinge. It runs Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core processor with Intel UHD Graphics 620. The FHD IPS touchscreen uses Corning Gorilla Glass and supports pen input. Onboard memory is 8 GB DDR42133 and storage is a 128 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD.

Sustained performance with integrated graphics

The i5-8350U operates at a 1.7 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.6 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology across four cores and eight threads. Under continuous load the integrated UHD Graphics 620 shares system memory and thermal budget with the CPU. Throttling will occur before peak speeds are maintained for long periods, so extended compiles or large dataset processing run slower than short bursts.

Upgrade path from older ultraportables

This unit replaces a traditional clamshell notebook when a touchscreen and tablet mode are needed for presentations or field work. The jump is worthwhile if the current device lacks a 360 hinge, pen support or a PCIe NVMe boot drive. It does not suit buyers who want more storage, discrete graphics, user-replaceable memory or a larger display.
