HP Elite X2 G8 — 13" Detachable 2-in-1 Tablet PC, i5-1135G7 16GB 256GB
The HP Elite X2 G8 is a business-grade detachable 2-in-1 — a full Windows 11 Pro laptop with the keyboard attached, and a pure tablet without it. It pairs an Intel Core i5-1135G7 (11th Gen Tiger Lake) with 16GB RAM, a 256GB NVMe SSD, a 13-inch 3000×2000 3K2K touchscreen, and built-in 4G LTE mobile broadband. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and free standard AU shipping.
Why Choose the HP Elite X2 G8?
-
Intel Core i5-1135G7, 11th Gen Tiger Lake: 4 cores, 8 threads and up to 4.2GHz turbo, paired with Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics — a substantial generational jump in both CPU and GPU performance over 10th Gen business machines.
-
16GB RAM for genuine multitasking: Double the memory of a typical detachable. Dozens of browser tabs, Teams, Outlook, Excel and a virtual machine can stay open at once without the constant swapping that plagues 8GB tablets.
-
13-inch 3000×2000 3K2K touchscreen: At roughly 277 PPI in a 3:2 aspect ratio, this is one of the sharpest displays fitted to any business portable. The taller 3:2 shape shows noticeably more of a document or spreadsheet than a 16:9 widescreen.
-
Built-in 4G LTE mobile broadband: Insert a nano SIM and stay connected anywhere with mobile coverage — no tethering, no hunting for public Wi-Fi, no hotspot draining your phone battery.
-
Detachable keyboard and folding kickstand: The integrated kickstand holds the tablet steady at almost any angle, so it works on a desk, a plane tray table, or a warehouse bench equally well.
-
Dual Thunderbolt 4 and Windows 11 Pro: 40Gbps docking, 4K external display output and power delivery over a single USB-C cable, with BitLocker, domain join, Hyper-V and Remote Desktop for managed enterprise deployment.
Performance in Use
With 16GB of memory behind the i5-1135G7, the Elite X2 G8 behaves like a proper laptop rather than a compromised tablet. A normal professional workload — Outlook, a Teams video call, twenty or thirty browser tabs, a couple of large PDFs and an Excel model — sits comfortably in memory with headroom to spare. The 11th Gen Tiger Lake architecture and Iris Xe graphics also make light photo editing, 4K video playback and driving an external monitor far smoother than earlier detachables managed.
Detached, the 13-inch panel is where this device earns its keep. Reading long documents, marking up drawings, annotating PDFs with an active stylus (sold separately) or presenting to a client across a desk all feel natural in portrait or landscape. The 3K2K resolution renders small text crisply enough that you can comfortably work at scaled resolutions and fit two documents side by side. The kickstand takes it from handheld to freestanding in one motion.
For mobile and field roles, the integrated 4G LTE modem is the decisive feature. Site engineers, auditors, real estate agents and sales teams can open a CRM, sync files or join a call from a car park or a client site without any dependence on nearby Wi-Fi. Back at the office, a single Thunderbolt 4 cable connects a 4K display, wired network and full peripheral set, turning the same device into a complete desktop workstation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the keyboard included?
No — this listing is for the Elite X2 G8 tablet unit only. The HP Travel Keyboard is sold separately; it attaches magnetically and connects through pogo pins, so no pairing or charging is required.
Does the 4G LTE work in Australia?
Yes — the integrated WWAN modem takes a standard nano SIM and works on Australian 4G LTE networks. A SIM and data plan are not included; obtain one from your preferred carrier.
Can the RAM or storage be upgraded?
The 16GB of LPDDR4x memory is soldered to the mainboard and cannot be changed. The 256GB NVMe SSD is an M.2 module and can be replaced by a qualified technician, though doing so yourself may affect warranty cover.
Is the display really 3000×2000?
Yes. The Elite X2 G8 uses a 13-inch 3K2K (3000×2000) IPS touch panel at approximately 277 PPI in a 3:2 aspect ratio — sharper and taller than the 1920×1080 screens fitted to most business laptops.
Does it support a stylus?
Yes — the touchscreen supports an active pen for handwriting and annotation. A stylus is not included with this listing.
What are the shipping arrangements?
Free standard Australia-wide shipping is included with every order, dispatched from our Melbourne facility with tracking supplied.
What does the warranty cover?
The 12-month warranty covers hardware faults and component failures across both condition grades. Battery health is separately covered by a 30-day guarantee, as batteries are consumable components.
12-Month Warranty & the Reboot IT Guarantee
Every HP Elite X2 G8 we supply carries a 12-month warranty covering all hardware faults and component failures, supported by our Melbourne-based team who handle claims directly rather than routing them offshore. A 30-day battery health guarantee applies to every grade — Grade A units hold 70% or more of original battery capacity, Grade B units hold 50–70%.
