FAQs
Is the touchscreen and pen/stylus support good for note-taking?
Yes, the 13.3-inch FHD IPS touchscreen supports 10-point multi-touch and works well with active pens (HP Rechargeable MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen or compatible USI pens are recommended, though not always included). It offers smooth writing, palm rejection, and good pressure sensitivity for notes, annotations, or sketching in apps like OneNote, Drawboard, or Adobe apps—making it popular among professionals who use tablet mode frequently.
Does it run hot or get loud under load?
The EliteBook x360 1030 G8 stays relatively cool and quiet for most everyday tasks thanks to its fan-cooled design and efficient Tiger Lake processor. Under sustained heavy loads (e.g., video rendering or multitasking with many tabs), the fans become noticeable and the bottom chassis can warm up moderately, but it rarely throttles significantly or becomes uncomfortably hot on the keyboard area—better thermal management than many consumer ultrabooks.
Can I upgrade the RAM or SSD later?
No, the RAM is soldered (16GB LPDDR4X-4266 is non-upgradable). The 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD is user-replaceable in most units—access requires removing the bottom panel (a few screws), so you can upgrade to a larger or faster SSD (e.g., 1TB or 2TB Gen 3/Gen 4) if needed. Always use an anti-static wrist strap and follow HP’s service guide to avoid damaging components.
