HP Envy 13-1000 Notebook PC

 

As the name suggests, the HP Envy is a laptop that deserves jealous glances, although it is not a particularly ostentatious-looking bit of hardware. It has Windows 7 pre-installed and there are many benefits offered by the latest Microsoft operating...

The Envy has built-in Wi-Fi, which is compatible with the latest 802.11n standard for fast wireless transfer speeds and it is of course backwards compatible with older network standards. With all this new technology on board you will be paying a...

Here's why you should buy -- or avoid -- one of the world's thinnest laptops

 

HP's Envy 13 would be an easy laptop to recommend, if not for weak battery life and more competent alternatives.

The HP Envy 13 is a slim, lightweight notebook with a comfortable keyboard and decent speakers -- plus a fingerprint sensor that makes signing into Windows a snap.

This thin laptop's battery life falls far behind the competition. No touchscreen option.

HP's Envy 13 is a pretty good notebook, but why settle for good? Dell, Lenovo, and even HP sell better thin-and-light laptops.

HP Envy 13 (2016) review

 

Last year, something wonderful happened in the world of Windows laptops. Quality became affordable. Companies like Dell, HP and Asus started selling sleek notebooks made of strong aluminum and carbon fiber for less than $1,000.

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 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...

HP Envy 13 ad065nr (i5-7200U, FHD) Laptop Review

 

The HP XPS 13. The narrow bezel design from the flagship Spectre series has trickled down to the mainstream Envy series with fantastic results. Though not without some sacrifices, this is the best Envy notebook to date.

sharp display with great colors and contrast ; serviceable components; upgradeable SSD ; visually appealing matte aluminum chassis ; FHD and 4K UHD touchscreen options ; 2x USB Type-C ports; MicroSD reader ; no major throttling under load ; small and...

slower than expected HD Graphics 620 GPU performance ; no matte display option; very glossy screen ; spongy trackpad; very light key feedback ; no Intel Iris or GeForce graphics options ; no Thunderbolt 3 or full-size SD reader ; below average...

The biggest draw of the latest Envy is its lower starting price of $840 USD as a similarly configured XPS 13, Yoga 910, or Spectre x360 13 will run $1000 USD each or more. If Thunderbolt 3 or 2-in-1 features are not desirable, then the Envy 13 makes...
