HP appears to be still tidying up the Elite x3. The company's Windows 10 Mobile device that can simulate a desktop or laptop PC hasn't seen an update since late winter, but it looks like that is coming to an end.

Firmware 0002.0000.0037.0001 is now available, which is a jump from the previous 0002.0000.0026.0118 released in February.

Today's update is the sixth firmware update from HP since the Elite x3's release nearly one year ago.
