What is the current fairly used hp elitebook x2 price in nigeria for students?

I am looking for a cheap Windows tablet that comes with a detachable keyboard for taking notes in university lectures. The HP Elite x2 seems perfect. What is the current fairly used hp elitebook x2 price in nigeria for older generations like the G1 or G2 model? Are these detachable keyboards durable enough for aggressive daily typing or do they break easily?

The HP Elite x2 series is brilliant for students who want the functionality of a Microsoft Surface Pro but with significantly easier repairability. The current fairly used hp elitebook x2 price in nigeria for the older G1 or G2 models usually ranges between 110,000 and 150,000 Naira depending heavily on whether the vendor includes the magnetic keyboard and the active stylus pen. If you are buying it for taking notes you must ensure the keyboard is included in that price because buying the keyboard separately later will cost you an exorbitant 35,000 Naira or more and they are very hard to find locally.

Regarding the durability of the detachable keyboard on the hp elitebook x2: It is surprisingly robust. Unlike the Microsoft Surface Type Cover which feels like typing on a piece of felt the HP Elite x2 keyboard uses a solid aluminum deck. The keys have excellent travel and a very satisfying click making it fantastic for aggressive daily typing during long university lectures. However the major weakness is the magnetic ribbon connector that bridges the keyboard to the tablet. If you constantly yank the keyboard off roughly or fold it backward aggressively thousands of times that delicate ribbon cable will eventually tear internally causing the keyboard to stop registering keystrokes. Detach it gently and it will last for years.

I bought the Elite x2 G2 last year for my masters program. It is perfect. I detach the screen to read PDFs on my bed and snap the keyboard back on when I need to write my thesis. Best 130k I ever spent.

Make sure you test the battery very carefully! Because the battery is located behind the screen (unlike normal laptops where it is in the base) if the battery starts to swell from old age it will literally push the glass screen out and shatter it. Look closely at the edges of the screen before paying.

The kickstand on the back of the tablet is solid metal and very stiff which is great. It does not wobble when you tap the screen. Just be careful not to rest the metal kickstand directly on your bare thighs because it gets very hot.
