Still Worth it? 1 year Later with the HP Envy X360

After spending a year with the HP Envy X360, I wanted to give my thoughts on if this laptop is worth buying and how the 2in1 feature holds up after a year of use.

[@taylor3950]

Thanks for the updated review! Glad to see the hinges are treating you well.

[@RobsCorner]

Happy to help!

[@lindsjohnson]

Considering buying this laptop. Thank you for the review.

[@RobsCorner]

Glad I could help!

[@Rios70]

great review, got it for christmas, happy with it

[@RobsCorner]

Thank you! Great gift to get hope you enjoy it!

[@riannegarfin]

I have this laptop for a year now. I getting a click on the screen when closing the lid. But so far no display issues. Performance is superb!

[@RobsCorner]

Interesting haven't seen that yet

[@gloriouschoices]

these envy x360's are great. sturdy builds, robust internals, and the stylus compatibility for drawing make these machines able to last forever. i'm still rocking mine from 2018. the only downside is that 1080p screen. a higher pixel density would make these, dare i say, "perfect". looking forward to more cool vids dude.

[@RobsCorner]

Thanks really appreciate it. Yea the 1080p screen is not high end but at 15 inch 1080p is a great ppi for a laptop. Especially with radeon integrated graphics a lot easier to push esports or older games at 1080p so big plus there

I was able to tweak the display to run a little hotter and more vibrant by using the AMD software. However, since recent Win11 updates it now says the AMD software can't run and is outdated and the HP update won't detect my laptop to update it. I also bought a program called, BOOM 3D and it helped to clear up the audio, using the treble equilizer and I had to max it out in advanced-setting.@@RobsCorner

[@RobsCorner]

@@rbolo29 that's great help, for the Win 11 issue have you tried checking Amd website for updated drivers?

Whenever I find somthing on KZbin I enjoy a lot of the time I watch that video alot more then once and then again I'll show it to someone else. I presume that's why veiws are more then subscribers, I would estimate it off number of likes

Thank you, i appreciate it and hope the video was helpful

HP Envy x360 2-in-1 Business Laptop, 15.6" FHD Touchscreen Display, AMD Ryzen 7 5825U, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, Backlit Keyboard, 5MP IR Camera, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, Win 11 Pro, Black, 32GB USB Card Will buy this one soon.. any suggestions or reviews for the same..

[@RobsCorner]

I don't have that one, but I did a full review on this laptop with less specs than what you mentioned, so the one you would be getting is more powerful and the one I reviewed was very solid

[@ZoidYT4656]

im in middle school and when i put the laptop in tent mode and copy notes i get a lot more space to put my book which is great

[@RobsCorner]

Yup it would be cool if all laptops did that to be honest even the non touch ones so you can connect a better keyboard and mouse and game on it without having the laptop keyboard in front of you

[@stevenj2380]

Edit DEC 1. There was nothing wrong with the HP. Home wifi router was the issue. Tech help did not advise me to check this simplest solution to contact cable company! I got a nice deal of a perfect open box HP Envy and sadly returned. I now have a new HP envy 360 15 direct from HP (which cost more than 2x as much but I have 3 yr service-replacement agreement!) My older PC and desktops working well, but was time to replace laptop of 2015 which will not go past Win 10. ---- NYC NOV 19 2023. Returning it tomorrow. I just looked up online, it is a known issue that is disconnect from wifi. HP advises some changes in wifi adapter and or power settings and or use external device. However, the most I could do was startup and try to get connected. Could not run an update check, then, several time would not even get to that point. Bought today at a Best Buy, a Intel processor model.

[@RobsCorner]

that's unfortunate to hear, luckily we haven't had any issues with our model. Hopefully your comment helps people that might have the same issue.

[@stevenj2380]

You are correct. I new have a new higher spec ENVY 360 I bought from HP directly. All set up. Very nice. My problem was older WIFI in home router wifi which had to be replace with new, from SPECTRUM. As all my devices and new phone worked with my wifi, I did not suspect the wifi was the problem. Geek Squad guy in-store did not think of it either until I went back a second time and did the 'factory' reset there in front of him. Returning and buying OTHER makers laptops retail - and a return, cost me plenty! Due to this, and feature uncertainties due to buying retail I bought 4 laptops in 4 days, and I have an expensive DELL XPS I can't return, and have as a give-away to other family member. @@RobsCorner

[@abdullahzakirmahir2382]

Which laptop I should choose in this price range if I want a decent performance for at least 3 to 4 years ?

[@RobsCorner]

That's a loaded question depends on what performance you need ? Do you need it to be a 2 in 1 tablet ? Are you gonna game? Edit videos? Image colour correction? Or just general web browsing and Microsoft office

[@PranjayJoshi-pv6tq]

Should I go with this (16gb ryzen 7 15") or a HP Omen 15 (GTX 1650ti, 16gb, also ryzen 7)? I need portability which the envy has but I also want to play some games like GTA V, which the omen does good but I'm not sure about the envy

[@RobsCorner]

The Omen still gives you portability just doesn't turn into a tablet, if you want to be able to game I would go with a laptop with a dedicated GPU. I have not tested the Omen however

[@PranjayJoshi-pv6tq]

​@RobsCorner if I had to go with the envy, how capable would it be in gaming on average? Obviously not as good as the omen but the tablet feature does seem good

[@RobsCorner]

I posted a video right after my intimate review of the envy on how it performs in games if you want to check it out

[@anwarulazim9511]

Does the hinge problem still exist in the new models?

[@RobsCorner]

I'm not sure about anything newer than the ones I have but after a year and a half still going strong no hinge issues

[@vipulverma39]

Yes they do, Don't buy hp laptops.

[@rafidishaq3383]

Hi, doen the computer have a loud fan?

[@RobsCorner]

The fans kick in when it's being used at 100% or gets hot but regular usage it's pretty quiet

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

I own the PC and I really like the build quality.

[@RobsCorner]

Great to hear, same here!

[@mikalcheuk]

does the screen wobble when you type? Or when it is in an outdoor area and you are sitting near a fan?

[@RobsCorner]

No hinge is pretty solid for me, unless I'm banging on the keyboard there is no noticeable wobble

[@shailaakter6166]

HP Envy X360 hinge issue still going on ?

[@RobsCorner]

Ours is all good. No issues with the hinge after more than a year

[@kwameowusujunior4055]

You didn't even talk about battery life

[@RobsCorner]

Fair enough usually only use it at home so, doesn't get close to dying but around 8 hours of mixed usage, depending on the task give or take an hour.

[@johnhopwood4633]

Rob, please slow down!

[@RobsCorner]

Haha just excited to share all the information with you!

Solid specs

[@Kaniac47]

I picked up this model about a month ago. The OLED display is awesome. The OLED with HDR almost looks 4k even though it's FHD. Performance has been solid so far too. Very happy with this purchase.

[@vipulverma39]

Don't ever buy this laptop, hinges broke after 2 yr.

[@KirklandShunk]

Sounds like a user error

[@cricra1977]

I think you should use a stronger main light and stop wearing those cringe designer clothes

[@RobsCorner]

I'll agree with you on the lighting, I think I fixed that if you look at my videos since then. As for the sweater is Tommy Hilfiger cringe designer ? I got it at Costco for $25, I picked up 2 of them lol

It depends on how careful you are as well, a year and a half with it the hinges are still perfectly fine for me.
