It's a little late but I can reveal that the device selected for our 1:1 program for this year is the HP Envy x2 (as shown above). The device was clearly the most robust and solidly built of the three on our shortlist. We're quite confident that it'll be the best way to get started with Windows 8, and Tablet devices. The combination of sturdy and attractive design with long battery life and a few other bonus features meant the Envy was a great all-round performer with no considerable flaws.
As I mentioned, the unit sports some bonus features that helped convince us of it's worth. The inclusion of an NFC chip opens up some interesting possibilities with tap-to-share and other things such as smart posters. The use of Beats Audio in the device appeared to be a gimmick at first, but it certainly helped it punch out sound that was much more clear and audible than it's competitors. The keyboard dock sports a full-size HDMI port, which is a welcome addition as well, micro ports are okay, but the heavy cable attached by such a small connector seems like it could break easily (and it's easier and cheaper to source a full-size cable).
So, we push on with our program, and thank HP and Anittel for supplying us with this cute little machine.
