HP Folio/Pro x2/Pro x360 series guide

Where the Folio/Pro x2/Pro x360 line stands in 2026

This is a small legacy grab-bag rather than a coherent series: 3 HP machines sharing business-convertible heritage, spanning 2011 to 2023 with one row undated, priced $122 to $921. Two are 2-in-1s and one is a classic 13-inch ultrabook; screens are 12 and 13.3 inches, weights 1.2 to 1.5 kg, RAM ceilings 8 to 32 GB. Twelve years separate the oldest and newest rows — this guide's job is mostly to separate them honestly.

The configuration spread

The three rows could hardly differ more: the 2011 Folio 13-2000 carries a Core i5 2467M of the Sandy Bridge ultrabook generation; the undated Pro x2 612 G2 is a detachable with a Core i5 7Y54 and HD 615 graphics; and the 2023 Pro x360 435 G10 runs a Ryzen 3 7330U with Radeon Vega 6 graphics and 16–32 GB RAM options. Two GPU options are recorded for the family — the Vega 6 and the HD 615 — and they bracket a decade of integrated-graphics progress.

Price versus age

Three rows, three eras, no ladder: $122 for the 2011 Folio, $207 for the undated Pro x2, $921 for the 2023 Pro x360. The 2023 machine costs 4.5 times the 2011 one — which is less a depreciation curve and more a statement that they are different products that happen to share a bucket. Between the two legacy rows, the $85 spread buys the detachable form factor and a somewhat newer platform.

Which one to buy

Only one row here earns a recommendation: the HP Pro x360 435 G10 (2023, $921, Ryzen 3 7330U + Radeon RX Vega 6, RAM to 32 GB) — a current-platform business convertible with honest everyday performance. The Folio 13-2000 (2011, $122, Core i5 2467M) is fifteen years old; at its price many newer machines in this catalog's other families outperform it in every metric we track. The Pro x2 612 G2 ($207, Core i5 7Y54) sits between eras and below any practical threshold for a primary machine in 2026. Both are pass-with-confidence rows.

Bottom line

Across the roster the medians describe the legacy majority more than the 2023 exception: best CPU median 3.2, performance index 24.3, USComp Score 39, and zero games clearing recommended settings at the median configuration — while best GPU median 43.9 and a gaming index of 59 exist only because the single modern row lifts them. Portability 75.7 and mobility 65 are the constant strengths of this form factor; reliability 23 is the constant warning. The summary: a one-machine bucket wearing three nameplates — buy the 2023 x360 if a budget business convertible is the need, and let the two legacy rows rest.
