Earlier this year HP introduced a line of small convertible laptops with Intel Alder Lake-N processors. Now the first of those little laptop is available for purchase… if you’re willing to spend US$ 479 or more on entry-level hardware. The HP Pro X360 11 Fortis G11 is available from B&H as a “special order” with expected ship times of 7-14 business days. It’s also available for purchase from HP.com, but HP’s prices are astronomically high.
The notebook is designed for the education
market, which might explain why retail sites are charging
higher-than-you’d-expect prices for a notebook with an 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768
pixel display and an Alder Lake-N processor. But the little laptop should be
fairly versatile as far as budget computers go. It has an anti-glare, matte
touchscreen display with support for pen and finger input, a 360-degree hinge
that lets you use it in laptop, tablet, tent, or stand modes, and support for
WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Other features include a 42 Wh battery, a
720p user-facing webcam, a 5MP world-facing camera, dual microphones, stereo 2W
speakers, and a set of ports that includes:
- 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
- 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C (with DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery)
- 1 x HDMI 2.0b
- 1 x 3.5mm audio
- 1 x RJ45 Ethernet
Prices start at US$ 479 at B&H for a
model with an Intel Processor N100, 4GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, 64GB of eMMC storage,
and Windows 11 SE. But you can pay more for configurations with:
- Up to an Intel Processor N200
- Up to 8GB of RAM
- Up to a 256GB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD (M.2 2230)
- Windows 10 or Windows 11 Pro
- WiFi + 4G LTE
- Pen Garage
The HP Pro x360 Fortis 11 G11 measures 297
x 204 x 21mm and weighs 1.47 kg.
