HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 keyboard, Audio, and Battery Life

Keyboard

Unlike laptops such as Lenovo ThinkPad E440 which doesn’t come with a keyboard light, the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G2 comes with a Spill-resistant backlit keyboard with drain and DuraKeys allowing users to use their laptops freely even in dark rooms or areas.

Audio

The audio output is top-notch, and listening to music like Pop Smoke Christopher Walking is superb. The speakers are found underneath the laptop.  It has the following features;

  • Audio by Bang & Olufsen
  • Integrated dual-microphone array
  • 4 integrated stereo speakers

Battery Life

Talking of battery life, the Elitbook x360 can last up to 16 hours and 30 minutes of battery life. But in some cases where the laptop is used to play games, the battery will drain faster and run low than the time mentioned above.

Also, other factors such as the temperature of the environment, and the tasks performed by the user mines the battery draining rate. Assuming a user uses it to just watch movies or browse the internet while another user uses it to play games, the draining rate won’t be the same.
