HP Malaysia today announced the new ultra-portable HP Pavilion x2 detachable PC. I had the opportunity to attend the soft launch, getting a chance to handle the beautiful tech myself. Designed for customers who want to simplify their life with a single device that transforms from tablet to laptops, it is indeed a thing of beauty, where form meets factor, packing a cool Intel Atom processor Z3745D (1.33Ghz, 2M L2 Cache) inside.

| HP Pavilion x2 Launched in Malaysia |
The HP Pavilion x2, is a full featured 10-inch diagonal Windows tablet that shifts to a full-featured laptop with a detachable dual-purpose keyboard / cover that both protects the screen and serves as a multi-position stand. Check out some of the photos I managed to capture of the product at the launch below.

Portable, versatile 2 in 1 PC, the HP Pavilion x2 is powered by the latest generation Intel Atom processor, featuring front-firing speakers with DTS sound and a battery that lasts up to a quoted 11.45 hours. Now that is a pretty long lasting battery, perfect for the road warrior.

The HP Pavilion x2 runs on Microsoft Windows 8.1 with a beautiful screen display (WLED-backlit WXGA Touchscreen) when turned on. At the side of the unit, it had the usual I/O ports, 1x USB 3.0, 1x Micro USB 2.0, 1x HDMI and a headphone out/microphone in combo jac. Not exactly very generous with ports, but this is to be expected from ultraportables in this range.

| James from HP introducing the HP Pavilion x2 to the media present |
At the soft launch event, attended by media and bloggers, we not only got to touch and experience the HP Pavilion x2 for ourselves, 2 lucky winners got to walk away with one free unit each courtesy of HP Malaysia. I wasn't too lucky though, but congratulations to Tian Chad for being one of the winners. Now I'm jealous because he gets to own the latest piece of tech from HP!

| No HP Pavilion x2 for me to bring back today, good coffee though |
With features and so many tech packed into the little package, the HP Pavilion x2 surprisingly did not come at a heft price tag. I was amazed at the retail price when it was annouced. The HP Pavilion x2 is available in Malaysia beginning 3rd November 2014, for a starting price of RM1,199. Yes you read it right, only RM1,199 to purchase this baby, so what are you waiting for?
