Hewlett Packard has unveiled its new HP Envy x2 and it isn't hard to see its similarity to Microsoft's Surface Pro 3, Digital Trends reports.

Sharing the same convertible modes, from laptop to tablet, and design language, HP Envy x2 and Surface Pro 3 are considered 'twin' laptops. As Microsoft had the privilege of being the first in the market, HP is now allegedly an imitator and a clone-maker.

Though imitation and concept borrowing has been in existence in technology since way back when, HP is still getting mixed reviews about its Envy x2. But let's be fair because these two tech devices aren't really that similar.

Similarities between the Envy x2 and Surface Pro 3 are very evident, however. Both have multi-angle kickstand and a fabric soft keyboard. The two laptops are also powered by the same Intel Core M processors and have 13.3-inch and 15-inch models.

HP Envy x2 and Surface Pro 3 are also powered by the same Windows operating system. But HPalso wanted a price showdown so it's retailing Envy x2 at US$749 and US$799, which is the same price as Microsoft's Pro 3.

On the other hand, the differences between the two laptops are quite evident, as well. HP Envy x2 is indeed heavier and thicker compared to Microsoft's Surface Pro 3.

This means the older laptop and tablet hybrid wins in terms of portability despite the fact HP is designed without a fan and visible venting.

Numbers will prove the 2.81 pound 13-inch Envy x2 is really heavier compared to Surface Pro 3's 1.76 pounds. HP's hybrid with its 13.7 mm thickness is significantly thicker compared to Microsoft's device at 9.11 mm.

HP'snew laptop and tablet hybrid also has its own unique features, which include an SD slot at the side, Beats Audio speakers and a new keyboard design. All of these features are absent in Pro 3.

HP was also able to make a Bluetooth-powered keyboard that can be used when detached from the laptop's monitor.

HP Envy x2's two models are now available so you can see the similarities and differences for yourself!
