HP Envy 17 (2020)

 

Attractive, minimalist styling and an optional 4K display are upsides, but the HP Envy 17 is a merely adequate desktop replacement laptop due to its overly heavy chassis and some quirks with the touchpad design.

Attractive, minimalist styling; Optional 4K display; Good-looking 17.3-inch 4K screen; Backlit keyboard with numeric keypad; Automatic webcam privacy door; Generous port selection; Admirable battery life

Overly heavy chassis; Some build-quality issues with touchpad; Key switches wobble a bit; Thunderbolt 3 is absent

The Envy 17 is a decent desktop replacement laptop. Our key quibbles with it (its bulk and its build quality) shouldn’t be issues if it spends most of its time on your desk. It also offers typing comfort, an excellent optional 4K display, and adequate...

HP Envy 13 review (2020, Wood Edition)

 

Stunning looks but one glaring fault

Gorgeous design with real wood panel ; Bright, vivid 4K display ; Comfortable keyboard ; Good selection of ports

Wood touchpad needs refining ; Disappointing battery life ; Tons of bloatware ; Limited to 8GB of RAM (for now)

HP's Envy 13 Wood Edition has a striking design with a real wood inlay, but poor battery life and a troublesome touchpad rot an otherwise-excellent laptop.

HP Envy 13 review

 

The HP Envy 13 is a stylishly-designed laptop that packs an impressive amount of power and features into a slim and light body – making it ideal for creatives.

Nice design ; Good performance ; Excellent price ; Good selection of ports

Not the most powerful ; Only one USB-C port

The HP Envy 13 strikes the perfect balance between design, power and affordability. Don't have the cash for a MacBook? This is a great alternative.

The 2020 iteration of the HP Envy 13 retains all the great features of a powerful and lightweight laptop - but it's not completely faultless.
