HP Envy x2 conveys its durable quality (pictures)

The HP Envy x2 is a Windows 8 tablet slated for a release later this year. The 11.6-inch tablet comes with a full keyboard that essentially turns the device into a laptop. HP has not yet announced a price.

The Envy x2's keyboard includes a trackpad and palm rest. The keyboard's aluminum body feels comfortable and durable.

The keyboard section includes a single-HDMI port and dual full USB ports. The other USB port appears on the opposite edge.

The Envy x2 feels like a high-quality laptop and not so much a tablet. Also, the 8-megapixel back camera should offer picture-capturing capabilities of at least decent quality.

Both the power button and volume rocker (not pictured) are made from aluminium and depress nicely when pushed.

Come for the glossy screen; stay for the fingerprints.
