7 Best 12.9-inch iPad Pro Alternatives Running Windows 10

HP Spectre X2 - $1,149.99

With the Spectre X2, HP brought two exciting features to Windows 2-in-1s that can replace the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. First, you get everything you need for just one price with the Spectre X2. Second, the device’s quick charging technology gets you mobile again in 30 minutes.

The HP Spectre X2 has a dark black and copper body, with a 12.3-inch display that’s three times sharper than a standard HD display. You can configure it with up to an Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. A microSD card reader, two USB 3.1 Type-C ports and a headset jack let you connect accessories. There’s a 5-megapixel camera on the back of the tablet.

All that power and its 0.3-inch thick frame keeps the Spectre X2 from lasting more than 8 hours away from its charger. That’s an hour less than the 12.9-Inch iPad Pro. However, a half-hour charge gets you another four hours of battery life, so that helps offset its disappointing battery life somewhat.

An HP Spectre X2 costs $1,149.99, and that price includes the cost of the HP Active Pen and the tablet’s companion keyboard. Because of that, you save a lot of money by buying it instead of the competition. Apple Pencil is $99 and the Apple Smart Keyboard for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro costs $169.99.
