The specs at the start should read 6 core/6 thread, the 4500U is not 12 thread.
Consider doing a comparison with the Lenovo flex :)
Would be nice if you were consistent with the usage of the units. If you mention metric units once (size of the laptop) mention it in other scenarios as well (weight of the device)
@@nblankcatalin800 He did tho?
@@nblankcatalin800 I verbally mention metric because it's what I use, but I always have both shown on screen when discussing weight/size.
I may sound mean but please can you do a review on acer swift 3 amd ryzen 4000 I don't care about other reviews I wish you could do that because I think its more bank for the buck laptop.🙏🏻
I use this laptop since june and I love it! I got the 4700U version with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for 999€ in germany. It fits all my usecases from light gaming to graphicdesign & photoedit on the go. The battery life is really good for the performance and the build quality is perfect for this price.
That's a great deal. I am looking for the same in Germany but it seems to be out of stock
How has it been? Have you faced any problems? How are the hinges?
@@dhilsiva it's still awesome. The hinges are full aluminium and very sturdy 👍
@@Gausch2 thank you! How's the performance on battery power and the battery life?
Hii youre using x360 ryzen 5??
RUclipsrs keep reviewing this unit and there never seems to be any in stock anywhere.
best buy has them right now
@@bejsbdbsiwn link?
Levi LeCompte same link?
@@bejsbdbsiwn Is this laptop better than the hp pavilion x360?
@@user-vm4he3gk3c this laptop is better, it almost feels like a flagship laptop
HP has been dominating the laptop market in 2020, their devices are amazing.
That’s because they using amd
Abu Boss Asus has been using AMD too, and their devices aren’t as good, and almost never properly cooled
The omen 15 is 👌
@@SkilledTrash99 im really curious about HP Pavilion Gaming 15, do you know any detail or potential problem about it? i can't seems to get proper info from mainstream techtuber for that laptop.
It is currently within my budget, but Acer Nitro 5 also priced on par with HP... quite a dilemma for me
@@nickochioneantony9288 I think Bob of all trades did a video on it, I have an HP Omen 15, so i don't really have much info on the pavillion, but according to Bob it's a really good device
First time watching one of your reviews and I'm impressed. You cover things that I didn't know I needed to know. Things like what's inside the unit, sound of keys, sound of fans etc. Thank you very much, subbed!
I own the 2019 version and I gotta say this is the the best purchase I've made.
The laptop is light, sleek, fast, and pretty powerful. I rarely use it as a tablet unless I am taking notes with the stylus, which isn't bad for note taking. The battery is good, I got 6hrs-ish opening 10 tabs in Edge, Microsoft Teams, Notion and other apps.
The laptop theoretically could play some games but I don't want to take a risk for longetivity issues. Oh, and it can be charged using USB-C which lighten the load when taking it school or cafe or somewhere else.
Can you please tell me is it good for office use,video editing and work like that ?
@@serinbabu427 I bought mine in 2015 and it uses a 2 core intel processor with lower clock speeds. And the battery life is worse (like 3hrs of light office work). Not only that but two parts on it have failed in the past five years (hard drive and charger). While they look like they've improved the battery and processing power, I don't see any evidence that they've improved the longevity problems. I would be careful if I were you, buying a thousand dollar item that will last maybe a few years before breaking.
@@Sam-vf5uc Ooo that doesn't sound convincing, although I heard the quality has become better year by year. Most notably, from 2017 to 2018 or 2018 to 2019(?). Can't say anything about longetivity yet but been 1 year and no big issues still. I hope mine doesn't turn out like yours though 😅.
@@serinbabu427 I never do video editing so I can't say anything about that, but yeah office and work is a breeze. Something to note, any laptop at this price should be able to do office/work pretty convincingly though. Maybe light video editing is okay, but something more demanding might not be comfortable.
@@begejekan1244 I am really confused on which one to buy when there are so many laps out there with almost similar kinda specs. 😣
I own this laptop, the review perfectly showcases its (many) strenghts and (few) weaknesses.
It's a little bit too heavy to be used comfortably as a tablet, but its build quality is on point.
There's plenty of power, it's not easy to find a small and portable 2 in 1 this fast and versatile. Sure, you can't expect Red Dead Redemption to run at 60 fps at Ultra settings,but you can play many less demanding games without issues. For example, I play GTA V and Fortnite at 1080p with Low-Medium settings, and StarCraft 2 at Ultra settings.
As an engineering student, the possibilities enabled by the convertibility of the laptop and the pen make this device the perfect tool for studying.
All in all, this is the perfect laptop for students and for those who don't require too much raw power.
I'm planning to buy this... does it feel smaller to you when comparing with other laptops??🤔..
btw i'm too an c.s engineering student !!!🍻
@@aryantiwary_ yes, its dimensions are pretty compact. It's a little bit on the heavier side, but nothing crazy
@@cignandrea I think it's dimensions would be somehow equal to macbook 13' 2020??
@@aryantiwary_ I don't know, I've never had a MacBook
@@aryantiwary_ it's a little smaller I think, because of the 16:9 aspect ratio
In my opinion HP ENVY should be out of stock everywhere rather than rtx 3080.
13 inch great portability, good aesthetics, decent battery, decent pricing and sufficient power for office use. Thats what i was thinking. As for my light gaming needs i personally own even better 4800u unit until what AMD offers next year.
Well it is where I live, I’ve been trying to get my hands on one for a couple of months now...
They ARE out of stock everywhere cus AMD can't get their Ryzen 4th gen supply chain fixed.
@@MsWouto i thought the supply problems were related to the trade wars and coronvirus lockdowns etc..
And just like that, it's out of stock everywhere.
I can’t be the only one who dies on the keyboard sound test 😂
I did too...
Did you buy it?
And if you did is there any hinge problem with this and due to too much hearing does the back side rubber comes out?
HP always got some good design on envy model... but...
if that screen was 16:10 aspect ratio sure will be more beautiful...
I see a gap between the LCD and keyboard deck.. Bodyslam test when?
Next video.
The hinge on this laptop does NOT hold up
@@alexbarry2497 How's it been? Have you faced any problems? How are the hinges? How's the performance on battery power? How's the battery life?
@@dhilsiva sorry to tell you but the hinges where horrible. By that time I had returned 2, the first because of a very crooked hinge and the second because something happened to the spacebar and it became so light that blowing on it would push it down. I got to my third and it had the worst hinges creeky and crooked, I had to return that one too. I got sick of having to deal with it and bought a lenovo ideapd 5 ryzen 7 4700u (but for some reason I still like the hp more). The hp had something about it I loved the form factor, performance was great and battery life was better. Im not the biggest artist but I like to draw and the pen was fantastic. With the thermals there was always something to be desired but being able to change the thermal profile helped a lot (if it was getting too hot I would put it into cool mode or whatever its called and then put it on battery saver mode.) Finally there is some hope, one of my good friends bought one and I warned him almost scaring him but he went for it anyways. It seems like HP is very aware of this problem and they immediately took it in for repair and it has been perfect for about 3 months. theres something about the build and the form factor that makes it special, and dont forget about the ryzen 5 4500u which seems to be impossible to find in any other laptop. Over all, if you can I would just go for the normal envy lineup, non x360 (if youre in canada they do not sell that laptop). Just go into the x360 knowing that there is a good chance there will be something wrong.
@@alexbarry2497 thank you very much for the detailed reply! I'm looking at a couple of other laptops too. I'm waiting for them to be launched here. I'll make a decision only after they are launched. One of them is the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s Gen 2. It comes with either a 4600U or a 4800U. The Lenovo Slim 5 and 7 don't come with 16 GB RAM here. I need at least 16 GB RAM in the laptop I'm gonna buy. Otherwise I would have got the Lenovo Slim 7.
My friend has the Ryzen 3500u version of this and damn the build quality is superb, looks sexy
For some weird reason i'm allways waiting for J to say "this Will vary between laptops and panels".
These new AMD laptops are really bringing in crazy performance!!!!
Intel wept
Your reviews are detailed and thorough. The presentation is top notch.
You are the best notebook reviewer I have ever seen. Why? Because you tested all performance modes, showing its impacts wrt noise, temps and speed - and that's the crucial point on this notebook. It's great in quiet mode - something no other reviewer pointed out, but very crucial to me. Thanks a lot! Subscribed immediately :)
Just a warning: I have the 2018 Version of this and it breaks down very easily! I've had the screen pop out in one corner twice and in both cases it's destroyed the panel. Even though it was a documented defect with the actual build it took 3 months of back and forth for HP to agree to fix it for free. I would avoid HP if you could for no other reason than their customer service.
it seems the envy line has a different support vs the spectre line, I sent mine in twice and they fixed it hassle free (trackpad loose). They didnt even ask me any questions. maybe because this is a known issue who knows but there support is pretty good IMO.
Agreed, had a pavilion gaming 15 inch, screen display lid torn out in a matter of 6 months, and gpu defect(gtx 1050), which I had to convince hp to change the entire motherboard for me lol. Avoid HP at all cost.
@@malavpatel77 You probably got their premium customer support/ warranty
Hi there, I bought this on february, for the display , you need to buy something for stopping reflections (i bought protector from 3M) anyway, the issue about breaking down easily the display is SO TRUE. I have never crashed, break any displey ever ( I am the IT guy so thats why) but this one was in the case and "fall down" lets called it slip down from around 40 cm from the chair, i see that no harm it was nothing and open the case later on and the touch display breaks in the left upper corner ... never seen nothing like that ... repaird 300 € ....
Mine is the 2019 version and I have no problems with the display, there is a problem with heat though. When I charge on sleep mode it gets a bit warmer than I expected.
Purchased this last week for 1000 USD here in New Delhi, India. It's fast, has amazing display (400 nits) with deep blacks, good battery life that gives me an average of 8 hours on a normal workday. HP has truly got everything right for users like us. Happy that I chose this over the macbook air.
How has it been? Are you facing any problems? How are the hinges?
Thx for reviewing this man really needed it
Isn't 4500U 6 cores 6 threads?
Yes
Exactly, was searching if someone already pointed it out
Yeah I added a pinned comment.
@@JarrodsTech Thanks. Great video as always ❤️
As usual amazing content , U are on the right track my friend , try to get into reviewing the MacBooks 💻 also . Do not worry if they are already reviewed by other channels because nobody does it better than you . ✌🏻
I just noticed that with integrated Vega graphics, the heat pipe layout for laptops can be much less complex.
i watched the vid and end up buying the 4700U version today, cant believe this small machine can deliver beast power. Thanks for your review man
And how is it? How's battery there? I just purchased model with Ryzen 7 3700U 16/512GB, and I was wondering if this is good choice because of CPU and battery.
How's it been? Have you faced any problems? How are the hinges? How's the performance on battery power? How's the battery life?
im still doing great so far, its fantastic for travel and work, lightweight and small, easy to carry. I never actually measure the battery life but i think it fall out 4-6h on 100% brightness depend on what i use
@@thinhleduc7885 thank you! I'm thinking of getting it for video and photo editing taking it with me wherever I go.
@@dhilsiva would be fine and ez for the 4700U but the screen might be small , if you can sacrifice that then i think its all good
Your reviews are actually amazing. Keep up the good work and never stop doing videos.Try to review other PC's or graphics card.
I've been waiting for this all week. Thanks Jarrod!
Would you recommend this laptop (300 Nits panel with a Ryzen 7 4700U, 16Gb of RAM and 512Gb SSD) over the Spectre x360 13 that comes with a 400 Nits panel as standard, Core i5 1035g4, 8Gb RAM, 512Gb SSD for the same price? I'm a college student, won't be doing much video editing or intensive works. Just RUclips and a lot of Microsoft Word.
Definitely yes get the envy
The Envy with AMD is so much cheaper and more powerful too
5:44 it’s beating the i5 8300H, technology has changed.
Got this laptop 2 days ago for £700 and absolutely love it. Only thing is that there is 1 dead pixel at the top left of the screen. is it worth getting another just for that? cant decide if its worth the hassle. thanks
Yes.
yay you started reviewing hp laptops starting with omen !
Just bought one and watching the video from it. I'm very happy with it.Solid performance for good price and it absolutely destroys my old Surface pro 4.
I was thinking if I should upgrade my surface pro 4 with this 😂
How's it been? Have you faced any problems? How are the hinges? How's the performance on battery power? How's the battery life?
THANK YOU. I've been looking for the tested specs for the 300 nit screen all over the web.
Are you planning on checking out the 15" version as well? I'm not sure which one to get.
Very impressive for productivity workloads. HP is on a roll.
If they used a 16:10 screen ratio they had some extra space for the trackpad. It would have been the perfect laptop (for 1.000 bucks)
Hey, man! This is such a great video. Will you do the 20 games tested on this device too? I've been considering this as my new laptop, I hope it can do light gaming :)
Just ordered one with 4700/16/512 (819€, quite a good deal), should get it in a few days, can’t wait!
Where did you got it at this price ?
How's it been? Have you faced any problems? How are the hinges? How's the performance on battery power? How's the battery life?
Wanted to confirm, we can upgrade the RAM? I read its soldered to the motherboard.
Can we still upgrade the RAM?
No.
13" no, 15" yes.
No.
Jarrod my friend did you get the tiger lake CPU engineering sample.Many you tubers have received and they have said performance is excellent
my envy 13 x360 collided with the ground twice and its still working good built quality there's not question about ti
I wanted to get the AMD version gaming laptops of Hp Pavilion, but they completely ran out of stock, so got myself the ASUS Zephyrus G14. Never looked back 😅😅
Some RUclipsr reported that the 300 nit panel is only 6-bit in color depth. Can you confirm that?
In the video, you said that ryzen 4500u has 6cores and 12 threads but 4500U does not support multi-threading 4650U does
Great and informative content as always, one of the best laptop review channels in YT. keep up the great and quality content Jarrod.
Can’t wait to see how it compares to intel new super light evo series
The evo series is coming out next year ,by then amd will have their new cpus which will probably destroy the new evo series
Thank god for AMD for bringing competition again. Even if the next gen intels are better it'll be because of what AMD did. Consumers win.
Agreed
Thank you so much this was an extremely helpful review
Have you heard anything from Intel about their 11th Gen CPUS? Would love a video on it!
Nothing so far.
Just bought one two days ago with the same spec. SO far its the BEST £700 I ve spent. Thanks for the review confirming my choice :D
Great video, ryzen is really rocking in laptops now.
15in version of this machine is excellent
UPDATE: The mic issues that caused crashed in conference calls, zoom, skype, discord etc.
Have finally been resolved.
Can't wait for lenovo legion 5 review from you. I only believe you and Dave2D for laptops. Planning to get one with ryzen 7 next month😃
should wait for next year for intel 11th and better amd laptops
@@begejekan1244 agree
Ur vids r so great man amd ur channel is so underrated. One day you will get the recognition that you deserve good luck..
Hi Jarrod, how did you test Dota 2 in your benchmarks? I only get 100-120 fps when playing at ultra 1080p settings. My laptop has i5-10300h, rtx 2060 and 2x8gb ram. How come your benchmark made in April for i5-9300h and 1660 ti is better than what I am getting?
they should stop making exhaust fan pulling air from bottom, it make laptop not bedable
Quite nice video. Keep the good work up buddy.
4500 6 cores/6 threads Isn't?
Yeah I added a pinned comment.
ahhh yes minimalistic design 👌😌
mmm MMM
with gigantic stickers
This laptop has issues with audio. Using it with zoom, or teams, after about an hour the audio will either cut out and say the audio service is not running or it will make a loud buzzing sound, the laptop then needs to be restarted. Updating drivers doesn't make any difference. Unfortunately there is no fix from HP at this time. Many people are reporting this issue on their community forum.
You are the best reviewer about laptops i folow you 1 month and i enjoy in your content. Good job
Bought the 15" version and it's soooo good, def was worth the money. Only thing I would've liked more was getting the 400nit version but I don't use it outside that much
Thanks for the video, your reviews are always complete and so helpfull
Are the hinges durable?
This video made me buy this laptop. Great review!
watching this from my ENVY x360 Bang & Olufsen speaker
watching this with HP Envy X360 13 Ryzen 4700U version :)

@@dhilsiva sometimes even when the temperature is on like 50*C the fans start spinning for no reason (doesn't happen alot) the hinges feel great actually but from how much I've heard from the battery I did expect a bit more but it's not bad.
@@dhilsiva the performance and display is really good tho
@@n8mr124 thank you! On what mode did the fan start spinning at that temperature?
@@n8mr124 so you probably get 2 hours less on battery than the 4500U version. Right?
00:06 isn't 4500u just
6core/6thread?
Please review MSI modern 14 with similar specs
Great device, and a great, very thorough review. For me- this laptop would be ideal, but it is a bit too expensive. Thing is, in order to get 16GB RAM, you can not choose a 4500U, but have to get 4700U. That adds €200 to the price.
Can you do the 15” version as well?
Another great and informative laptop video from my favourite voice on the internet. Thank you for all the reviews you do and keep up the good work !
My biggest problem with this laptop is the fact i cant buy it anywhere. Sold out, coming soon, not even listed on some retailers. By the way I’m in Canada so if anyone knows where i can buy it, let me know.
Backlight bleed, low nits, and low sensitivity for active pens killed this model for me. Great budget machine when on sale, but didn't fit my needs. Only compatible with the standard pen, not tilt pen.
The model you had was so much better for BLB though, wow.
Wow, This is Killer of Microsoft Surface Pro
Jorrod should we get ryzen for notebooks or get the new 11th gen intel notebooks, can u compare the intel 11th gen and current ryzen gen for notebook. I heard they are outperforming ryzen with new 10nm architecture
Jarrod u made video about hp omen 15 (2020) but it's was still not able to hit more frames than helios 300 (2019)
Helios is still worth it in gaming
Where I can buy that laptop ?? I can't find any store selling the 13 inch version
12 threads on 4500u ??
Great video ! Sound like a good 13" option
did anyone saw ryzen 13?
Is this particular spec acceptable for video editing or would you suggest to go for the Envy 13?
I have the 15” version, I got from eBay. But I think it came with a problem with audio 😭
The video got cut rather abruptly at the end :/
Yes.
6 cores at 3.1 ghz at 19watts .. wow!
the ryzen 7 model apparently has a 1080p camara
Are you getting a hp envy 15 anytime soon? One with a RTX 2060
So u did buy the 300 nit Version?
Because theres also a 400 nit Version.
Have you heard about issues with audio?
Nice review as always
when will you review the helios 300 2020
I have bought this laptop and now it has some scratches! I want to find case/protector for this model and I don’t know where to find one. If you know any case name, please reply. Thanks!
Honestly hp with their 4k oled touchscreen is gonna blow the market away
Hey Jarrod, great reviews! I was wondering, which one you think is better; This one or lenovo yoga slim 7 with the same specs? I tried both but I can't really pick, they're both great!
Go for this if you want this form factor.
Informative Video.
I bought this laptop for school. And I only use it in quite mode, because in performance in cinebench r20 it reaches 105C.
I purchased it.. Yeaahhh!!!
How's the hinges now
the laptop is good but my wifi keeps disconnecting. ive tried everything also reinstalled windows and replaced the wifi card with an intel one. still keeps droping wifi and i have to maually disconnect and reconnect to fix it. anyone got the same problem?
I bought the same pc and it did not come with the pen ..so I bought an active hp pen which is not compatible with the laptop,... where can I get a working pen (stylus) compatible with this machine
Love your reviews! You really do your homework. Keep up the great work!
Can this charge and display with the USB type C at the same time?
Is it easy to get a list of machines with 6+ (pref at least 8) cores and 1440p screen combined with a decent GPU?
id like to add my 2 cents onto displays. Iv had a acer swift 1 and the panel is pretty bad interms of SRGB coverage like around 65-70% max i think but even when i compared it to my friends ms65 msi gaming laptop with near 100% SRGB my panel if i remember correctly had a contrast ratio of like i think 1100 or 1200:1 and you could tell. Like yeah his colors on his laptop were deeper and more varried while mine looks more washed out but the contrast though.. it just makes everything look so sharp and crisp and honestly id prefer a panel with like 80% srgb with a contrast ratio over 1000:1 over a gaming laptop panel with 98% with a ratio of around 750-800:1 contrast is so much more important than alot of people think it just makes everything look so much better and richer and sharper.
