It's worse than that actually. The native performance is a Bay Trail. The emulated performance is about half a Bay Trail.
I really like using my new HP Envy x2 ... the 4G/128GbSSD ver .. I've been SHOCKED actually. Had low expectations, but have had it for a week. It runs office very well, surprised ... edge browser works very well. Chrome, when I need it is fine ... video, youtube work very well ... frankly, I'm still shocked at how well it performs.
I might wait till the 8G/256gbssd ships (the article reviewer had one) ... 8Gb future proofs things for a few years for my use case on this device (I hope!)
It works for me, because I need basic productivity apps (especially OneNote and note taking) and am not a gamer, don't edit media, etc. When I travel to Europe in May, I'll be using the SIM for a summer class I have start while abroad ... expect things to work very well.
For an office productivity mobile user, who wants battery life and portability above all else ... its' an awesome device, so far ... improvements coming too as they optimize the code.
If you can find one (they sold out immediately) give it a try; you'll be surprised, especially if you consider a real world use case for this type of device.
If they keep on this track, MSFT has a winner here, IMHO. More improvements to come.
Again ... SHOCKED ... at how well it performs.

Woof, woof. Windows on ARM is a dog, especially X86 emulation. This says more about the inordinate complexity of Windows than it does about the seemingly anemic ARM processor. I'd like to see the HP Envy with ARM running Linux compared to an Intel X64 system. Betcha the comparative results would be much closer to one another.
Microsoft long ago painted itself into an Intel corner with its growth-like-topsy kludge of Windows software non-design. Dave Cutler got Microsoft going in the right direction with the early Windows NT. Since then, the design of Windows only gets more and more pinderous. Only a CPU with higher TDP and matching higher speeds can run Windows decently.

for browsing, yt we have android tabs. they are so good in this it's SHOCKING.
It's really not that bad... I installed Access 2016, and it runs fine, but I cannot figure out where it's installed to? I installed Google Chrome, and that runs fine too. The x86 (WoW) emulation is way better than using, say, Qemu, to run x86 on Linux on Arm devices, such as Android phones with the same CPU. BTW, I first updated from Windows S to Windows Pro and then I updated further to the latest Windows Insider version (https://uup.rg-adguard.net/index.php), so it's possible that things will improve as time goes on, including support for 64-bit apps. The challenge I face now is to try to get Linux to install/dual-boot and find out if we can use Arm64 virtualization in terms of Qemu-KVM. Of course, Virtualbox and VMware will not work, but all these ARMv8 chips are meant to have virtualization flags nevertheless.

Performance aside, this was still a horrible idea. Current laptops are MORE than capable to give consumers what they need.

somehow I feel you are not the target audeince...
You have no right to be positive!
This article is about bashing Microsoft
only HATE comments are allowed.
I'm glad that you didn't mention
that ARM was not compared to Y-series Intel
and generally the hardware etc was hidden.
No mention what Windows version was used, etc.
AND
you'd better not to write positive comments in the future!!
no, No, NO! You can't write anything positive.
This article AND the comments are supposed to be negative!

okay tell me the positive side of any of this story apart from being positive it will fail.
