Are there are any alternatives?

You could collect all your loose change and skip your morning latte for a while, go for the more expensive Dell Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 Black Edition. You’ll enjoy an all-metal build and a bit more of a luxury feel, though at that price, you open yourself up to a world of great options, including the Spectre x360 or XPS 13 2-in-1.

　　If you want to stay in budget, you could opt for a larger display and grab an Acer Aspire 5 and enjoy much better battery life.

　　

How long will it last?

The Pavilion x360 is an all-plastic laptop, but that doesn’t mean it feels cheap. You’ll get your money out of this laptop, although as usual, the industry-standard 1-year warranty leaves us wanting more.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. It’s far from perfect, but the HP Pavilion x360 14 is an affordable and attractive option for people looking at this price point.
