HP wants to sell the idea of ​​Continuum business, and more specifically those who stand on the top of the ladder. The Presidents, CEO, directors. For them is dedicated smartphone HP Elite x3 , which has a considerable specification.

Elite x3 it combine real . 4GB of RAM, 4-core Snapdragon 820, 64GB internal memory, dual-sim, 6 inch AMOLED Gorilla Glass 4. There were also cameras 16 and 8 MP, battery and has a capacity of 4150 mAh. Without a doubt, this is the phone, the specification until it screams high-end! And a mobile Windows 10.

You can ask why anyone would hurt such a phone system, which actually does not have the application. But this is not a smartphone for consumers, but is designed for business. Windows 10 is necessary to turn this phone into a handheld computer. At MWC 2016 HP showcased next Elite x3 docking station and a special netbook, which in fact also serves as a docking station. All of this is to support the idea of ​​Continuum, which means that we have to work on your phone, a screen or keyboard only to support this process.

Everything is fine , but it does not work. At least not this year, at least not at the MWC. In our review Continuum of Microsoft pointed out already, the big problem is this company to provide a fully functional product. HP, unfortunately, have failed to improve.

You would think that such a powerful phone, like Elite x3 is the key to better performance Continuum. Unfortunately, it is even worse. The very launch of the overlay on the big screen, which support the mobile Windows 10, took forever. Launching such basic applications like browsing, or Windows Store took a painfully long time and it was far from liquidity. You have to forgive something like that, but if you simply wake up menu requires a few mouse clicks, then we have a problem. If I slowness of this system drove for the umpteenth time, and I had all the time in the world, it is hard to imagine that any president or manager could have on something like this to work.

I understand that this whole project HP is still in the testing phase. Clearly, the problem lies with the dock, because he x3 Elite works flawlessly. But the show at the Mobile World Congress hardware that does not work is not the best HP was played. The idea of ​​the whole office on your smartphone is great, HP still needs a lot of work on it. Let’s see who will be the first.
