The dock has two USB ports, an SD card slot, and HDMI port and a battery life of over 8 hours.



HP has priced the convertible competively, as well, at $479.99.

Kinda liking the Split X2.

Would rather have a MS Surface Pro though.....preferably with a 256GB SSD

Looks exactly like the transformer and many others that came before it. Is innovative design completely gone now or must every company copy from what came before?
