HP Elite x3 review: Yep, this was the last great Windows phone
from PC world 10 October indexed on 10 October 2017 20:01Editor's Note: It looks like our headline was spot on, as HP has decided to discontinue the Elite x3 after Microsoft put Windows Mobile into maintenance mode. HP's Elite x3 smartphone has achieved at least one thing: It has triumphantly realized Microsoft's dream of phones that could eventually replace your PC. Microsoft's vision was meaningless unless those phones could support the PC's legacy apps. Microsoft's Continuum feature already allows you to connect a mouse and keyboard, giving the phone the look and feel of a desktop PC. HP designed the Elite x3 to evolve that concept. Pick any Win32 app you'd like—Photoshop, AutoCAD, even Chrome—and HP's new Workspace feature will allow it to be run via your phone. Combine that with stellar battery life, truly useful utilities, and an (almost) elite set of hardware specs, and you indeed have a PC in your pocket.
