HP Envy 8 Note tried to hit all the right notes with its included Wacom Pen, Verizon LTE, 1080p display in a thin and light 8-inch form-factor. Unfortunately, it is hampered by a dim display, lackluster processor and limited amount of RAM and storage options.

The HP Envy Note 8 (starting at $329) tablet may look peculiar standing upright in its 10-inch keyboard (an extra $100), but this combo could pinch hit for a laptop.
The keyboard feels pretty good and has 1.5mm key travel distance. There’s a touchpad below the spacebar that’s wide but not very deep.
