HP Split x2 Windows 8 hybrid now available on Best Buy for $750

Perhaps the "x2" in Split x2's name indicates that HP worked double-time to bring the device to market before its August release date. A follow up to the Envy x2, the device is a 13-inch Windows 8 hybrid with a 1,366 x 768 detachable screen that houses a 128GB SSD. The other specs are identical to the one we previewed, but you can only get an Intel Core i3 version right now -- no word on when the i5 flavor will follow. Check out the Slate x2 on Best Buy (currently the only place you can buy one) where it's available for $750. Those who prefer Android-powered hybrids, however, will just have to wait until the Slatebook x2 hits the market.
