HP Envy x360 13 Review

In addition to the display that has a resolution of 1,920 by 1,200 pixels and an aspect ratio of 16:10, the Intel Core i5-1230U CPU, 8 gigabytes of RAM, and a 512 gigabyte NVMe solid-state drive are included in the base edition of the Envy x360 that costs $699 but has a retail price of $899. An IPS display with a resolution of 2,560-by-1,600 pixels is crisper and costs an additional $30. The display of the HP Envy x360 13.3, which has a starting price of $899 and a reviewed price of $1,369, is certainly not something to be embarrassed of. While the standard models come with an IPS touch screen that has a resolution of 1,920 by 1,200 pixels, the one we tested has an incredible OLED display that has a resolution of 2,880 by 1,800 pixels. Additionally, in comparison to the vast majority of consumer convertibles, it is both more lightweight and has a longer battery life. Our review computer is custom-configured with Windows 11 Pro, thus the price as tested is $1,369.99; the identical hardware with Windows 11 Home (model 13-bf0797nr) is normally $1,199 but is currently on sale for $899. If this pricing were to remain consistent, this product would be elevated from its current rating as a 4-star Editors' Choice winner to a position as a 5-star Editors' Choice winner.

The top-of-the-line model is equipped with a 1 terabyte (TB) solid-state drive, an OLED touch screen, a Core i7-1250U processor (with two performance cores, eight efficient cores, and 12 threads), 16 gigabytes (GB) of random access memory (RAM), and a touch screen.

Wi-Fi 6E, a webcam with 5 megapixels, and a pen that can be recharged are all included as standard features. The Envy x360 comes in Natural Silver or Space Blue and is made almost entirely out of recyclable aluminum. Its dimensions are 0.63 by 11.8 by 8.5 inches (HWD), which makes it a little more compact and lighter than the Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 (0.62 by 12.4 by 9 inches) (2.95 versus 3.46 pounds). According to HP, the ratio of screen to body is 87%. The side bezels of the screen are not too thick. Even though there isn't a fingerprint reader, the webcam is compatible with Windows Hello, which allows users to log in using facial recognition.

The Envy x360 13.3, much like a lot of other ultraportables, makes it tough to connect an external display; in order to use one of the two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 connections on its right side, you will need a DisplayPort converter. Additionally, there is no HDMI port on this laptop. ( The AC adaptor has a USB-C port built right in. The convertible does not shy away from USB Type-A peripherals and includes a drop-down USB-A 3.1 connector on each side. Additionally, an audio jack and a microSD card slot are located on the left side of the convertible.

The Envy does not have a sliding privacy shutter for the webcam; rather, there is a button on the top row of the keyboard that may be used to turn the webcam on and off. It overcomes the average 720p quality with a choice of 2,560-by-1,440 (16:9), 2,560-by-1,706 (3:2), or 2,560-by-1,920 (4:3) stills, in addition to 1080p video recording; the photographs are clear, well-lit, and brilliant in color, and there is no apparent static. In the HP Command Center utility is a tab called GlamCam. This tab allows you to adjust the lighting and enhance your attractiveness, in addition to providing an auto-frame capability that enables you to walk around the room while having video conversations. This feature is comparable to Apple's Center Stage for iPads. A ring light can also be simulated by using the HP Enhanced Lighting program.

A program launcher, an emoji key that provides access to a complete pop-up menu of smileys, symbols, and GIFs, as well as controls for brightness and volume are also located on the top row of keys on the keyboard. The keyboard makes the classic mistake that HP keyboards do by having the up and down arrow keys that are half the height and difficult to push heaped between the left and right arrow keys in an uncomfortable row rather than in the T-shape that is more common. The problem is made worse by using the arrow keys in conjunction with the Fn key to access the Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down functions.

The keyboard features vibrant lighting and offers a shallow, yet sensitive feel with enjoyable feedback. A big touchpad that does not have any buttons can be tapped and glided over with relative ease, and it only requires a small amount of pressure to produce a silent click.

You are aware that OLED displays can provide vivid colors, great contrast, and very dark blacks. The Envy's is not an exception, as it too has backdrops in pristine white and colors that are deep and vivid. The viewing angles are very broad, and there is no pixelation around the edges of the characters. The brightness of the screen is adequate; but, when measured in nits (candelas per square meter) by our testing equipment, it is not necessarily exceptional; rather than being comparable to other IPS panels, it is more similar to other OLED panels. This is not a problem because of the contrast in the sky. The Envy, just like other OLED laptops we've looked at, has a dark color scheme as the default and offers a focus function that dims application windows that aren't currently being used, which helps the screen last longer.

Even at the highest volume setting, the Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers do not produce an excessively loud or piercing sound, nor do they sound harsh or tinny. Although the sound is very clear, it may have a slightly hollow quality, and it may be difficult to differentiate between tracks that overlap. In addition to providing settings for music, movies, and speech, the software also includes an equalizer and artificial intelligence to reduce background noise during conferences.

The 6-inch long and adequately thick stylus pen has two small and firmly attached buttons in addition to a USB-C charging port that has a door that slides open and closed. It clings magnetically to the side of my laptop and was able to withstand some of my swiftest swoops and scribbles while delivering good palm rejection. The nicest aspect is that it is already contained within the box when you purchase it. The same cannot be said for high-priced laptops and tablets that combine two functions into one device.

Regarding the software that is provided, the HP Command Center utility includes a selection of tools and programs to choose from. The HP Display Control option allows you to select between the display's default, sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, and automated color modes or temperatures. Additional preinstalled software includes trial versions of Dropbox, Adobe, and ExpressVPN, as well as the HP Palette program for managing digital images, the HP Quick Drop application for exchanging data with a mobile device, and the Concepts drawing application. The typical duration of the guarantee is one year, and the cost of three years of pickup and return service with covering for accidental damage is $159.
