HP Envy x360 13 (AMD) Review

Yes! I've been hoping for one of these, and just as it came back in stock on HP's UK site. Thanks so much as always!

For uk there is no 400 nit option which is a bit annoying as screen is quite glossy so 300 nits might not be enough to see clearly in sunlight

[@Lord_Reset]

@John Lear it can get pretty loud when you're stressing it and it gets hot if the fan isn't cranked when you're doing intensive work. Just turning it on won't turn on the fan. Just to note I have the ryzen 7 version that does not actually have smt so it's 8 cores 8 threads. I also have the 1000 nit screen option, which seems less bright than I would have thought and it doesn't support HDR. It smudges super easy and gets a little bit dim off-axis but I'm not sure if that's because the 1000 that one has a privacy filter. Other than that, I really enjoy the colors and the vibrancy of the screen and for media consumption it's pretty great. I'll answer any other questions ASAP if you need!

[@Lord_Reset]

@John Lear I've used mine for a few days now, DO NOT BUY IT. At first, I really loved it and it's a great starting point, but ever since the unboxing I have had nothing but problems to the point where I have just requested a refund. Wait for at least 2 months until HP gets themselves together.

I just recently got my self the Ryzen 5 model with AMD Graphics, full 1080 display, Bang and Olufsen Audio (whatever that means...) 1TB SSD and 32GB ram for $1,200! It also has full SD card support, lightning USB, 2 regular USB ports and a headphone jack. Kinda sucks that laptops these days don't have CD drives as I still like to burn CDs and watch movies on DVD, so I guess I'll have to buy one, and unfortunately the model I have also doesn't have an ethernet port, another thing I'll have to get at some point. Otherwise, definitely a big upgrade from my $300 5 year old HP laptop, but I'll definitely be keeping my old laptop for the cd drive for now.

[@crunchevo8974]

How has it served you? Any complaints?

[@parkflyerindonesia]

Have you tested it, like until it freezes and tried to recover from it or simply restart the computer when it freezes? A friend of mine failed to do so (pressing the power key even for more than 10 secs didn't work) because the power key (not button) seems to be not hard wired like any other power buttons in other laptops. He had to wait til the battery ran out and then recharge-restart the Envy. If this happens to this model and any other particular models using the same power key, HP needs to fix it. Have no idea if this could be fixed through BIOS.

The small wrist-rest space on these HPs are the reason I will never buy one. They should have instead make the display taller and put the keyboard closer to the top edge. Xps, surface and macbooks are much better at this.

[@GP-ss4hn]

I agree. Years ago originally, I had an old Power PC that I used a lot for coding and writing; it was great. Then I became influenced by the smaller laptops, and bought a second gen Intel Macbook Pro 13. Both laptops were 16:10, but I felt the 13 was too small. I ended up buying an i7 Samsung 15.6”. That Intel i7 was completely underpowered, not to mention how it would overheat (couldn’t keep it on my lap while doing simulations). But the strange thing was how terrible the screen was, and that goofy 16:9 format felt as cramped as my 13” Macbook Pro. I would love to get a 16:10 Windows laptop with a Ryzen 9 4900H with or without a dedicated GP, and a 400 nits screen. I just can’t find one.

So true, I guess they're going for compactness but I think widescreen laptops are so bad to use. I prefer to have 16:10 and that extra bit of height really makes a difference.

I like almost everything about this despite the lack of HDMI. It is still the most reliable port when you need to constantly hook up your laptop to projector in client's place. Still this will likely be the one to replace my aging 7 years old laptop. Quick question though, what's your thought on the durability of the drop jaw USB port? And if it's broken off over the years, will it still hold on to a USB cable/device? I tend to keep my stuffs for a long time.

I'm interested in the HP Envy laptop for it's brightness 350 nits or higher. Can you help me find the specs that shows the 400 nits? I'm looking to purchase at Costco but can't confirm those specs for display.

Hi Lisa, Did you experience any PWM screen flickering at low brightness levels ? I'm looking at the 15 inch. but have seen conflicting reviews on the monitor..(??)

[@kt1gumpert]

15 inch will not have the same screen + it's cheap out some parts compared to the 13" (ram speed and rigidity)

I also bought one, There is a gap of about 0.3mm on the right side of the touchpad, I see the same situation in your video Will it be a problem to use?(maybe dust intrusion or water intrusion)

Lisa.....which one you suggest among laptop that you have reviewed in this 2020 to replace my 13 years old laptop that i use now. I want to upgrade and use it for long time again like the one i use now. I am not a gamer at all.
