What is the current hp revolve 810 price in nigeria and is the swivel hinge durable?
I am looking for a cheap touchscreen laptop for digital drawing and reading. The HP Revolve 810 has a very unique screen that swivels around completely to become a tablet. What is the fairly used hp revolve 810 price in nigeria today? My biggest concern is the central rotating hinge. Does the screen become loose and wobbly over time because it only rests on one single hinge point?

3 days agoThe HP EliteBook Revolve 810 was a brilliant but highly experimental convertible laptop. The current fairly used hp revolve 810 price in nigeria for the G1 or G2 models sits between 90,000 and 120,000 Naira making it an incredibly affordable entry into touchscreen Windows devices. It features a magnesium alloy body that feels premium and a digitizer screen that supports active stylus pens which is fantastic for digital drawing or signing documents. The performance is solid enough for web browsing and media consumption as it usually houses Core i5 or i7 processors with built in SSD storage.

3 days agoHowever your concern about the central rotating hinge is the exact reason why HP abandoned this design globally. The hp revolve 810 relies entirely on a single massive central pivot point to rotate the screen 180 degrees and fold it flat. While the hinge is made of heavy duty metal the constant rotating twisting and opening puts an immense amount of mechanical stress on that single point. Over the years especially on heavily used tokunbo units the hinge absolutely becomes loose and wobbly. When you type forcefully on the keyboard the screen will shake back and forth annoyingly. Furthermore the delicate ribbon cables that connect the motherboard to the screen run directly through that rotating hinge. Continuous twisting often tears these cables causing the screen to flicker or go completely black. Inspect the hinge very aggressively before paying.

3 days agoI bought the Revolve 810 for my daughter. It is a very cool concept but the screen is definitely wobbly. You cannot use it on your lap while in a moving car because the screen shakes too much.

3 days agoIf you want to use it for drawing it is actually great because when you fold the screen flat over the keyboard the wobbly hinge problem disappears entirely. It becomes a very thick heavy tablet.
