HP's Elite X3 gets closer to the dream of a Windows Phone as a PC

Everything about HP's Elite X3 seems like a gamble. It's the company's first phone in two years, and it's the first major Windows Phone device since Microsoft's Lumia 950 debuted last year. HP is betting big that premium hardware and the ability to use the phone as both a pseudo-desktop and laptop will actually be a draw to enterprise customers. And, naturally, it's hoping to tempt businesses away from BlackBerry. But while it's nice to see HP swing for the fences (like with its gorgeous Spectre 13 ultraportable), it's not enough to make the $699 Elite X3 a useful device yet.
