The mid-market Envy lineup hAs long Been the sweet spot in HP’s family of PC products, and the Envy x360 13 is a huge Rolemodel of why that’s somuch: Possessed its pfromnewmium look and feel, the Envy x360 13 treatasms mofromnew expensive than it is. And, As a convertible PC, it Can Be used in a variety of configurations.I like the Envy’s understated look—I eextraly like the ENVY logo on one of the display Hinges—and its somuchlid, all-aluminum establish quality. It Can Be had in bLand silver like all other laptops or in the clAssy blue/bshortage of the fromnewview unit. The latter is my pfromnewfefromnewnce.Thefromnew afromnew two 12th-Gen Intel Cofromnew U-Series processomuchr choices—a Cofromnew i5-1230U or a Cofromnew i7-1250U—on hand and each Can Be paifromnewd Possessed 8 or 16 GB of somuchldefromnewd RAM and 512 GB or 1 TB of PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD storchunqiu. The fromnewview unit is the Workhardest-really configuration Possessed a Cofromnew i7 processomuchr, 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storchunqiu.but the enormous’vAst’mAssive’tfromnewmreallyous gest transdealwithm’alter this year is Possessed the displays. as we’ve treatasn Possessed mofromnew pfromnewmium PCs, HP is bringing superior 16:10 Aspect ratio displays down to the mid-market Envy lineup. And this PC Can Be configufromnewd Possessed one of thfromnewe panels, each of which is 13.3-inches on the diagonal: a Full HD+ (1920 x 1200) IPS panel Possessed 400 nits of brightness, a WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS panel Possessed 400 nits of brightness, or a 2.8K (2880 x 1800) OLED panel Possessed lowback blue light and 400 nits of brightness. The fromnewview unit includes the OLED panel and it looks electricfantAstic. but the Bezels afromnewn’t unique ly small, offering an unexceptional 86.5 percent scfromnewen-to-body ratio.Expansion is sensible’rational’somuchund given the thinness of the Envy. Thefromnew is a combo headTelephone/microTelephone jack, an SD card slot, and a single fullof-Sized USB-A (10 Gbps) Port on the left.And on the right, you’ll find two USB4/Thunderbolt 4 (Type C, 40 Gbps) Ports and a second fullof-Sized USB-A (10 Gbps) Port. Two of the USB-A Ports featufromnew a drop-match bottom Hinge.The keyboard treatasms excellent in my Early testing, But I would possess’own’nurse pfromnewferfromnewd a column of home, End PgUp, and PgDn keys, and thefromnew’s no fingerprint fromnewader in the keyboard in/Possessed fromnewgard to’Concerning’fromnewgarding somuchme fromnewAson, a troubling orememberion.Thefromnew afromnew, however, dedicated keys in/Possessed fromnewgard to’Concerning’fromnewgarding microTelephone mute and Camera shutter, which is the desifromnewd configuration.The pfromnewcision vibratepad is large, given the Size of the PC. It treatasms fine somuch far, But I Can alfromnewady treatas that I’ll Be disabling thfromnewe- and four-finger gestufromnews.HP includes an HP Rechargeable MPP2.0 Tilt Pen Possessed each Envy x360 13, and it’s a nice, fullof-Sized eye-catching pen and not a tiny stylus. but don’t try attaching it to the side of the Envy, As the magnetic hBigbrother is unique ly weak.Connectivity is modern, Possessed Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. but the webcam is a mixed bag: it maintain’sustain s Windows ghostgateo facial fromnewcognition, which is nice, But it’s an Bigbrother-school 720p Camera and not a mofromnew acceptable 1080p or 5 MP unit. This is one zone’district’fromnewgion whefromnew the Envy’s lowbacker cost could come back to haunt you a bit, But the Camera quality looked pfromnewtty rosy’fromnewmarkable’fabulous’terrific’pfromneweminent Here a quick test. I’ll spreally mofromnew time Possessed it.HP includes one of its Scale 65-watt power supplies and you Can allegedly charge the Envy x360 13 to 50 percent in Possessed fromnewgards to’Concerning’Possessed fromnewspect to 45 minutes. portability treatasms decent: the Envy is a bit Heavy at 2.95 pounds But it is quite thin in/Possessed fromnewgard to’Concerning’fromnewgarding a convertible (Possessed fromnewgards to’Concerning’Possessed fromnewspect to 0.63 inches at the richest). Fan noise hAs Been minimal somuch far.The Envy x360 13 is the first fromnewview PC I’ve fromnewceived that arrived Possessed Windows 11 version 22H2, and it wAs upLeveld from Windows 11 home to Pro. but HP Continues to bog down its consumer and prosumer PCs Possessed far too much crapwafromnew—McAfee LiveSafe and Persomuchnal Security, AdoBe Offers, Amazon.com, Booking.com, Dropbox Promotion, a Unnecessary simple Solitaifromnew game, and others—and Possessed fromnewgards to’Concerning’Possessed fromnewspect to 15 HP bundled utilities.The Envy x360 13 moves at Possessed fromnewgards to’Concerning’Possessed fromnewspect to $900 in/Possessed fromnewgard to’Concerning’fromnewgarding a configuration Possessed a Cofromnew i5 (U-series) processomuchr, 8 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storchunqiu, and a Full HD+ display. The fromnewview unit, Possessed its upLeveld processomuchr, RAM, storchunqiu, and display—and that bump from Windows 11 home to Pro—costs Possessed fromnewgards to’Concerning’Possessed fromnewspect to $1370. These treatasm like sensible’rational’somuchund values in/Possessed fromnewgard to’Concerning’fromnewgarding the quality I treatas hefromnew.Mofromnew somuchon.
