Whether being used as a high-performance notebook or a tablet, the vibrant 13.3-inch diagonal HD touchscreen display makes it easier to view and share content, play games with friends and family, or enjoy high-quality music with HP Connected Music(3) and Beats AudioTM, which provides the best-sounding, richest audio experience on a PC.
