HP Envy 13 review

 

In more ways than one, the HP Envy 13 seems like a "new generation" of PC laptop for HP or even the industry. Intentional or not it bears more in resemblance...

HP spotlights its revamped laptops for summer 2017

 

HP's Envy 13 develops some style, while the Envy 17 and Spectre x2 make more sense.

Review: HP Envy 13

 

Adamo? No. Air? We think not. The HP Envy with Voodoo DNA is a thin, light powerhouse that nearly justifies its mega-high price tag.

Good looks and solid performance … what’s not to like? Textured palm-rest pattern evokes Death Star motif … like a million voices crying out in unison, then suddenly silenced

Only two USB ports. Bright screen, but hardly an “unparalleled viewing experience.” Chiclet keyboard awkward at first. Middling battery life (2 hours, 10 minutes). Undersized arrow keys. Higher price than Cypress Hill concert

HP Envy 13

 

Snarky bloggers (ahem) could easily dismiss the HP Envy 13 as a MacBook Pro plus $300, say so in a tweet, and call it a day. Hell, I was certainly tempted. (The Envy 13 starts at $1699. As configured, our review unit would cost you $1799.) This...

Great, Mac-like looks ; Neat audio processing feature for headphones

Expensive ; Annoying bloatware ads

If it looks like a MacBook and feels like a Macbook, it's got to be from Apple, right? Wrong! The Envy 13 is the PC's answer for slim, stylish computing. Only more expensive.

HP Envy 13

 

Most everything about the HP Envy 13—from its amazing battery life to its gorgeous design—is enviable, but its price holds it back.

Phenomenal battery life with both batteries. Extended slice fits flush with the system's base. Metallic design is gorgeous and customizable. Media-centric resolution. Up to 5GB of memory. Very bright screen. Nice typing experience.

Pricey. No illuminated keyboard option. ExpressCard slot would be nice. Only two USB ports.

HP Envy 13 review: HP Envy 13

 

HP Envy 13

Slick, modern design; big touch pad; bright display; premium support services.

Very expensive; heavier than it looks; no backlit keyboard; limited ports and connections.

HP's upscale Envy 13 looks and feels like an expensive status symbol, with performance and features that impress us--but its high price makes it a tough sell over the similar-looking MacBook Pro.

Voodoo Envy 133

 

Admit it: You've said to your boss that you need an ultraportable laptop because it would give you easy and instant access to your work data. But the truth is, the main reason anyone buys a sleek, slim ultraportable is to turn heads. The HP Voodoo Envy...

Fantastic feel, sleek minimalism Linux shell with handy apps

Today's prices for yesterday's hardware The mouse is love or hate -- I hate it

The speakers' sound quality was a pleasant surprise. You get some surprisingly clear and crisp audio from this ultraportable. Of course, you won't hear much in the way of bass out of the two tiny side-mounted speakers (there's no subwoofer to be...

HP Envy 13 review: A slim, light, and inexpensive workhorse with discrete graphics

 

The budget-priced HP Envy 13 boasts a trim profile, solid everyday performance, and a dedicated Nvidia graphic card.

Slim and light design ; Bright 4K display ; Solid quad-core performance ; Relatively inexpensive

Overly sensitive trackpad ; Battery life could be a tad better

With its discrete graphics card, the HP Envy 13 is a thin-and-light laptop that’s actually got some modest game, although “modest” is the key word. While the Envy 13’s Nvidia GeForce MX250 graphics card is a vast improvement over Intel’s integrated UHD...

HP Envy 13t (i7-8550U, MX150, SSD, FHD) Laptop Review

 

Fancy. HP's slim 13.3-inch subnotebook features a fancy exterior and good connectivity. Hewlett-Packard has fitted a quad-core processor and a dedicated GPU into the slim case. Good battery runtimes, a fast SSD and a matte Full HD IPS screen complete...

bright, matte, high-contrast IPS panel ; Full HD resolution ; 120-Hz panel ; fancy aluminum case ; NVMe SSD ; good battery runtimes ; battery can be recharged via USB Type-C connector

the SSD only offers average transfer rates ; only USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 1 ; throttled version of the GeForce MX150 ; we occasionally heard crackling coming from inside the device

HP has combined a quad-core processor with a mid-range GeForce graphics solution and has wrapped it all in a good-looking, slim metal case. Of course, this requires certain compromises: For thermal reasons, HP has chosen to use the throttled version of...

HP Envy 13-ad006ng (i7-7500U, MX150) Laptop Review

 

HP XPS 13 for gaming. A compact 13.3-inch Ultrabook with GeForce MX150 graphics and a metal chassis? Sounds like a solid concept. In our comprehensive review update we'll try to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the HP Envy 13 with MX150 and...

upscale metal design ; compact design thanks to the thin bezel ; fan noise is acceptable even under load ; MX150 in a highly portable design ; palm rests and bottom remain cool at all times

display brightness is just average ; no matte display option ; no HDMI, SD card reader or Thunderbolt ; clickpad clatters ; prolonged loads lead to throttling

HP's Envy 13 is an attractive 13.3-inch mainstream Ultrabook designed to compete with the Dell XPS 13 - also with its price. As far as that lofty goal is concerned, the Envy falls short. Sometimes, the original is simply better: we can't really come up...
