The Display options can be configured if you buy from hp site. You got the lowest end 250 nits 45% NTSC variant but that can be upgraded to a 400 nits 72% NTSC panel. BTW, HP has strated refreshing it with their 2021 model which has removed the numberpad and made it slightly smaller and lighter. Also now coming with Ryzen 5 5500u and Ryzen 7 5700u.
@@SoulOfTech any advice ? The webcam seems not the best so I’m anxious to try my first zoom meeting. I wish the backlite would change color so that’s a shame. Mmm what else .... not sure where the shutter is for it either 🤷♀️
I got this laptop months back, (would be 10 months), and I want to say it is absolutely AMAZING! I love the keyboard, and the built in lights are amazing in the dark. I love the sleek look of the laptop, especially the touchpad. The key spacing, in my opinion, is amazing while doing work, as it lets me type extremely fast with minimized errors. There are also MANY cases you can find online, and each of them are amazing! I have one for myself, and it fits perfectly onto the laptop. The only problem I have is with on of the USB ports, where you kind of have to push this little wall down, but it is not too bad, and wouldn't affect my rating at all. Overall, I give this 5/5, and I have NO problems with it whatsoever, even nearly a year later of it falling off my table, or sometimes splashes of water on it.
@@cce8891 Generally, no, when watching RU-vid or Netflix, or doing normal tasks such as typing an essay, it is amazingly quiet, however, if you want to play video games, the fan does get pretty loud, but is masked if you are using headphones.
I just got this laptop and I really love it! The ONLY issue I have so far is the usb port. It was SO hard to get my flash drive in the port which made me very nervous as all of my school assignments are on it. It was even worse when I pulled it out 😬
I have this laptop except mine has 100% sRGB and a 400 nits brightness display. It's a beast of a laptop. The only thing that gets a bit annoying is the fans when you're in a quiet setting. Other than that it performs incredibly well.
I just ordered one of these. I7 processor, 12 gb of Ram and 512gb of storage. I wish I had known about the screen because in the configurator you can get one with a 400 nit display. Other than that I’m super excited, got a great deal. If only August could get here sooner!!!
It's a good laptop. There are a few flaws. Audio card doesn't seem to work all the time since the music or audio skips at times. Another thing that is fumbling is the vexing start time when you close the device and the open it hours later. In the sense that that the Power button does not know what to do. I've held it down amd I've double clicked and held. Somewhat finicky. I don't do heavy work besides school work so my machine isn't under stress. So far I like it. I could've gone with a cheaper option but at the time I wanted a computer that was going to last me some time. I do see it in my future life since I'll be able to do a few upgrades.
Great and thorough review. I just ordered the Envy x360 with the following options: 15.6" diagonal, 4K UHD (3840 x 2160), OLED, multitouch-enabled, UWVA, edge-to-edge glass, micro-edge, 400 nits as well as the Intel Core i7-1195G7 (up to 5.0 GHz, 12 MB L3 cache, 4 cores, 8 threads) + NVIDIA GeForce. Seems like the screen will be 150 nits brighter with 4K clarity, so I'm interested to see that. One of the reasons I chose HP was they offered a pretty decent discount for veterans. I ended up saving $325 with the discount on the order making it $1200 with tax. I'll report back on the my thoughts on the screen quality and processor speed. Thanks again for a great review!
This is an awesome video! I have watched several laptop reviews and this was the most useful by far. I appreciate the honesty and the descriptions made me laugh a few times. 😄
Surprisingly, u didn’t mention anything about the “tablet mode” not being able to turn back on after going to sleep. You must flip it back to pc mode and tap on power button… why? This is a flaw of the decade and hp doesn’t seem to have the solution for this. If anybody knows a way out, pleeeaaassse kindly share. Thanks
I think that when u go to tablet Mode ur keybord disconnects in order to not mess anything up if u accidentally press the keys, that is why u have to flip it in order to turn it back on, i dont really think thats a huge deal, expecially if it is like my x360 that turns back on in a sec
@@Leo-mt9ny It's a huge deal. Lenovo 2-in-1's allow you to switch them on in tablet mode by putting finger on fingerprint scanner to solve for the issue.
Excellent review and this seems like the model I would go for. The one question I have is how smooth is the stylus ( Asus models are not great). I teach online mainly now so a smooth pen is essential. I have a Samsung Note 10 phone and the stylus on that is really smooth.
did yu get it? how is it? I had to return mine. Out of the box, one of the keyboard keys was broken; it was overheating (AMD variant) and the screen is a deal breaker at 250 nits/ 70% sRGB. I got a dell Inspiron 15, 2-in-1, 100sRGB, 300 nits. way better
Can anyone offer an advice? I'm picking between this one and 17-inch version. All the hardware is the same, the only difference there is that the 15 version is convertible, the 17 one is not, but it's bigger. And approximately 50% more expensive. I've had 15.6 laptop and when I bought the current, 17.3, I definitely fell in love with the bigger screen. I've never owned any tablet, I prefer the traditional laptop settings, but I think a touchscreen laptop is a nice compromise. And I was soon convinced by my first smartphone after refusing it because of my experience with pre-smart touchscreen phone. But given the high price of the 17 version, I started wondering, which is more useful - bigger screen or convertibility. Any experience with both?
I'm looking to purchase to this machine for software engineering. I want to be using Pop or Fedora. Could you please see if either operating systems work on the machine? Thanks!
Hey bro nice video but when you talk about thermals lets know the option of how the maker has decided to cool the laptop by opening it up please. Lets see the hardware ourselves. I really need to kniw the thermals of this particular laptop as i intend ordering it.
NYC Nov 19 and 20 2023. At Best Buy day after purchase, they (Geek Squad) connected on the store wifi and spent over an hour to set up, including bios, firmware and driver updates. Works fine at home now. 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. At home after purchase, 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.
i have the new ryzen 5 version of this its gread for cad my track pad is great keyboard is amazing smooth soft like mention on the video 1 thing i hate no fn lock
What are the upgradable options ? I was looking forward to buy a laptop, and thanks to your detailed review I thought of going for this. But can I upgrade the RAM or ssd in future or it is soldered ? Is there any extra ram or m.2 slots. Please let me know
you can add more ram, however, it is *very* difficult to get to as you have to take off the rubber feet and deal with difficult clips. not sure about the storage
Mines having issues downloading RU-vid (original). Any ideas to resolve this issue. I’m not a computer savvy just bought it for work purposes but would be nice to have apps I normally use. Thanks in advance!
gosh I should have waited for this one (a more recent laptop) because I have the older version from 3 years ago and it's kinda bad. I wanted a laptop for college and BOOM covid hit and I ended up doing my hw at home, which was fine because the laptop I have is HEAVY and huge for my backpack. either way the specs on this seems betters for gaming than the one I have.
I bought this kind of laptop with mcafee antivirus, it will expires in 10 days, i did my review about mcafee antivirus but i dont see any good reviews, do you guys have any recommendation of what is the best antivirus? Thank you in advance
I measured it out and found a case by Tomtoc for the Dell XPS 15 - fits my Envy x360 15 close to perfectly even though it's for a different model. A little extra room on the length side but perfect vertical and horizontal.
Why would anyone want a case for it? I don't see what the point would be. It's not a phone, it's a laptop. It's like putting a case around your car... why would anyone do that? Sure you don't want your car to get scratched, but seriously...
I didn't know such things existed. I don't see what the point would be. It's not a phone, it's a laptop. It's like putting a case around your car... why would anyone do that? Sure you don't want your car to get scratched, but seriously...
i got it but my pen stopped working two months later although it charges perfectly like i can see the red and white light it shows but it seems like its not responding to the screen . what do i do ?!
The HP elite book is non convertible high end laptop that generally offers better configuration options. Since I have not tested a recent model I cannot speak to the quality of the laptop.
Thanks for the help! Sadly you're right about the screen quality being important to me. Most of the downsides don't get to me, but that one...yeah I may keep looking. Though I'm not 100% against this one if I can't find something I don't like better.
When you edit 4K content in the timeline on Premiere Pro or Rush you may notice the occasional lag in live playback when looking at your video in edit mode. The software may also have brief moments where it slows down due the thermal throttling.
Hi guys maybe ypu could help me out, I have the exact same laptop for studyinh and I'm wondering if there is an option to start it when its folded like a tablet
I actually sampled the X360 while I was at Costco. I was amazed at how little flex there was in the keyboard and it has more tactile feel than the Lenovo Legion 5 sitting right next to it. I just don't like that the X360 has 250 nits only. Yikes 😬
Oh my, I didn't get mine with the pen :'( it has been a long time, so I cannot complain anymore, but if I knew it comes with it, I would deff ask for it.. It would make mu life easier xD
Honestly, this Envy x360 is the worst laptop i've had in all 7 of them. It is getting super hot while playing anything, even low spec games. Sometimes it is freezing for 1-2 sec and it gets back to normal afterwards. The cooler is SUPER noisy even while browsing, sometimes for no reason. And now, after ~8 months of usage, THE DISPLAY IS STARTING TO GET OUT OF IT'S "CASE" for some reason. Have to mention i don't even move him from the desk. I'm still wondering what else could broke soon in this "machine". At least it looks good, lol.
Hi, I have x360 13" 2 in 1, why is the rotation lock greyed out? need to restart then it will unlock. how do keep it stay active or available all the time?. Is it bugs or some tweak that will solve this issue?
Yeah I feel the battery is fuckin trash bro. Super disappointed I seriously keep mine at 0 brightness and no back light for my keyboard. Tbh a lil disappointed but it's not bad definetly more a media laptop not a work laptop
Both are gramtically correct. How is it going assumes the need of an auxillary verb which is a requirment of new english, however, it does not invalidate exisitng terminology.
I don't hate or love any particular brand. I just give an honest but ultimately subject review on the model at hand. Would you rather I ignore the short comings or strengths of a laptop in a review?
the x360 is just a fancy term for 2 in 1 tablet functionality. The AMD and Intel variants both come with the x360 version. As to which one is better that is subjective, AMD runs cooler and has better multi core performance where as Intel does better with single core.
