Great review Andrew. It's a shame HP only offer one SKU here in Spain - Ryzen 5 with 8gb ram and the 300nit screen. In the UK they do the R7 with 16gb of ram but still only 300 nit screen. Nonetheless, I think I'll be getting the R7 version when I go back to the UK to see family in 2 weeks.
I bought last year's model (but 15') with an i7 and an MX150, I wish someone would review the model with the Ryzen 7, that one must be sick, specially because of the additional graphics horsepower
Great review, just ordered one. I don't know why anyone would pick the more expensive Spectre X360 over this (unless they really needed TB3 or an OLED screen). And the amazing thing is that HP's Envy line is supposed to be one step below their Spectre line.
Ive use spectre 2020 with FHD option for everyday light office use. if i have to choose again I still choose spectre over envy based on the design alone. not everyone need to squeeze all the the juice on their ultrabook. I just want to ultrabooks with elegant looks which sometimes comes handy as ice breakers small talk in office meeting.
You have 90k subscribers. It's really easy to turn on auto captions so people can read, it helps me when I want to watch videos in a quiet place. Just a tip.
Haha, your name is AMD. Good to see overall +/- points in final part of video to summarize this laptop. Beautiful to watch your video picture quality and clear sound.
Been eying this laptop for a while, I remember the older model for this had horrible battery life so this is a massive improvement, nice review! Do you have any plans to review the new HP Envy 13t that comes with an MX350? This newer model has a 65wh battery, wheras previous models had a 50wh battery, meaning the performance improvement in battery life will be really interesting.
Its a great device. Got the 4500u model as soon as it was showing on HP's page. Replaced the ssd with a 1tb nvme one. It ticks all boxes for me - nearly.. Its compact, excellent build quality, freesync display, good audio. Great device. Only one complaint is that they could have made the cooler and thermals better. (Also has single heatpipe). It is fine when running at 15w (temps max around 60c) but at 25w, temps reach 85c+ when on load (and this is based on ambient room temp of around 20c). Thankfully with the efficiency of renoir, you can practically get same gaming performance and better at 12-15w as to what you would on a 3500u unit at 25w
Really love all the new AMD ultra books that are coming to the market but why all of them only seem to have 8 gigabytes of RAM ? Are companies worried that a highly specced AMD laptop would just kill all the intel counterparts ?
I just ordered this laptop with the 15.6 inch screen. I was tempted to order a gaming laptop, but after seeing reviews for the Ryzen 5 4500u, I figured it was not needed. I am not a serious gamer but I watched this cpu play games & it is way more than decent even without a dedicated graphics card. I got mine for $599 at Walmart online & free shipping. I did a lot of research & this was the best value that I could find. I would have liked a bit more RAM, but then the price jumps, but 8 should be fine for me.
You're one of the very few if not only reviewer who actually opens the laptop to show upgradability and that is tremendously valuable, especially now that I'm looking to get a replacement battery and needed to get the model number from the battery itself. Suggestion: Can you make the resolution a bit higher on the text on the battery? That can help a lot of people get the right replacement battery part and further increase value in your videos, otherwise great job thanks.
Ordered the Ryzen 7 version on 30 Jun, unfortunately it's not due to arrive on the 20th July :(. In the mean time I'm really glad your review is positive so am very much looking forward to receiving it. Once again thank you for your coverage of the device! :)
I'm thinking of getting Ryzen 7 too (in September hopefully), would be glad to hear your follow-up on thermals and fan noise in light/medium load because the reviews online are not that consistent. Some say the fan is on all the time which is worrying me a little. Many thanks in advance, take care!
I did some research on Reddit, apparently the fan is baffling many, some suggest using it in the quiet mode, or even tinkering with BIOS and turning off "fan always on" option (Allegedly all new HP laptops come with this enabled). The only problem with the latter though is whether the fan kicks in in time to cool the internals when needed and then back to idle again. Anyone care to try?
Really good video with lots of detail. I will say one advice for the future. The Thumbnail is pretty bad. I think a bit of work on the thumbnails would go really far with this channel. Cheers for the quality info. Might be buying this laptop for school.
Great review! Thank you. I purchased it last week here in New Delhi, India for 1000 USD and am very happy I chose it over macbook air! This has amazing display (I got 400 nits model), good speed and battery life of around 9 hours which is enough to keep me going during an average work day. Also, my Samsung galaxy note 10 syncs seamlessly with this machine using 'link to windows'. Great going HP!
How do you feel about the 15 inch screen? I’m debating between the 13 and the 15 and my main worry is the potential clunkiness of the 15 inch when using it as a tablet.
You know Andrew, I just bought the 15.6inch version with ryzen 7 4700u, 1TB ssd,8gb, pen and dongle for $1099.00 Canadian.. Prety good. I was tempted with the 13inch version but at 59 years of age my eyesight isn't getting any better.. I will say that it's prety heavy(comming in at 1940g.). For me, at that price, still a great deal. Ho. Btw, the memory is socketted and upgradable. 👍
Hi Andrew, I was wondering whether you know how big is the difference between the integrated graphics in the Ryzen 7 4700u and the Nvidia MX350? ASUS has the UM433IQ with Ryzen 4700 and Nvidia graphics so it seems like a better deal than this. Any thoughts?
I think it was in Just Josh's video about the Asus laptop where he mentioned that Adobe programs are not optimized for AMD's graphics card, but are for Intels graphics cards. So when exporting a video in Premier Pro, he got an error on the AMD. So if you use Adobe tools, do some more research.
This Envy(from Walmart) vs the Flex 5(from Amazon) at the the same price of $599 ....I think this takes the cake. The build quality seems far better , it's 0.5 lbs lighter, it's way better looking and the screen just obliterates the Flex 5....along with the Acer Swift 3 's weak screen. These advantages more than covers for it's 8 gb ram vs Flex 5's 16gb. These new AMD chips are absolutely amazing...I'm excited to see what's coming out next. A Ryzen 7 with a good Radeon GPU would be devastating... Edit...the $599 x360 from Walmart is actually the 15 inch version and heavier...A review says the 8gb ram is upgradable though.
This looks amazing. I am going to recommend this to my sister who is looking for a laptop under 1000 usd. She doesn't play games and mostly going to be using it for home productivity work! Looks slick! Thanks Andrew! Subscribed to your channel!!
Top notch review as always :) Any plans to review the Ideapad S540 (AMD and 16:10 display)? The Zenbook 14 with the MX350 is interesting too but some reviews claim it throttles the CPU down to 10 watts while others claim it runs fine. It has a single shared heat pipe to cool both so I'm assuming the former is true but I hope you can review it to validate.
A C yeah, it’s a wonderful machine, I’m no expert though but comparing to the one I had previously this’s marvellous. I’ve access to some computers at work and other places as well and I think this one is great. Now I can draw some stuff at ease, I like doing cartoons and the like to tell a story and since I got this computer it’s making my life easier.
@@4everBarbz yeah it’s a marvel of a machine according to my end user feedback. It gives me a seamless user interface, the graphics are awesome, the battery ‘life’ has been excellent I can use it for hours without charge and many more things you can do you name it and so I think it’s a great buy & maybe the latest version will be more immersive. All the best.
Great Review ! top notch ... As for the webcam, i think it's outdated at 720P, especially in this day and age when people rely more on video conferencing. Not impressed with the video quality.
Excellent presentation and technical analysis . Agree x360 Ryzen 4500U is highly competitive both price , performance. I was not sure of AMD 4500U as opposed to Intel i5, but seems AMD has now hit the bar. I looked at HP Specter as well , but found it too glittering ; only other to compare with was DELL Inspiron 13 ...Thanks Andrew ..
Question for anyone that owns a laptop that runs ryzen 4 or greater. How long do these laptops last? I'm looking to purchase the hp envy x360 nightfall running ryzen 5. Should I purchase it ? I've never owned a ryzen laptop only Intel.
Only had it for 2 days now, didn't get to try out some graphically intense games yet. But from my daily usage it performs and feels very nice. Doesn't get too hot running in HP's recommended mode. (Have the 16 GB option)
This laptop hits the sweet spot. Good performance nice display all day battery life all in a quality light weight chassis .You can get laptops with higher performance & better screen but don't expect battery life anywhere near this.
AMD is killing it - I got a Matebook with AMD 5 - 16 GB of RAM & 512 Pcie - it fly by the tasks - of course not for gaming i use It only for my work - Awesome keyboard and fast booting - Really really good for students and business pro- I travel a lot and its very impressive.
Great review, Andrew. Just one question: even though it doesn't have Thunderbolt 3, you can still connect it to an external monitor (4k, 60hz) via the USB C port and it will also support charging? Many thanks
Hey, USB-C in this laptop supports: - DisplayPort 1.4 up to 5 120 × 2 880 @60Hz - HDMI 2.0 up to 4 096 × 2 160 @60Hz - transfer speeds 10Gb/s - power delivery Hope this helped! 🙋🏼♂️
After I decided to replace my MacBook Pro with a better laptop, since I experienced NO innovation with Apple for the past 6 years, I did a very long research in order to find a good replacement product. Then I found the HP ENVY x360 RYZEN5 with a 1 TB SSD. - To make it short: After nearly two months of using the new HP, I have never been more impressed and happy working with this laptop. It has the greatest design and the best performance for that price! (I don't play games, therefore I didn't require a top processor). - I made the best purchase decision ever! All I did was kicking out the Microsoft OUTLOOK 365 software. It is the worst MS software ever, although I have worked with OUTLOOK for over 20 years without any problems! But the 365 version ist just crap! I replaced it with a much better one: MAILBIRD !! It looks and feels a bit like OUTLOOK but much better and excellent in its performance !!! I can recommend that to everyone.
Thanks for the thorough review! Any chance you'd be reviewing the Lenovo Slim 7 anytime soon? I'm waiting for it before buying either it or the Envy x360. A local tech store in Finland has the Slim 7 listed to arrive next monday (the 13th).
Wow Andrew, thank you very much for the great review! You are definitely on a roll with these reviews of really good laptops, specially for productivity. I think this can definitely be my new development machine. If it had a better aspect ratio for productivity it would be almost "perfect". I'm going to check if there's a R5/16gb version.
@@andrewmarcdavid thank you! I've quickly went to see different configurations and looked at user reviews a lot positive but a lot also saying they have issues with screen flickering and wifi, just bad luck or on par for HP?
Nice review...I think HP has a real winner on their hands with this one! If I bought one I'd go with the AMD 4700 primarily because you can't get 16GB of RAM unless you go with the 4700. I'd also go with the 400 nit screen (same as what you reviewed vs 300 nit screen)......The only key downsides to me are the glossy screen (vendors, please learn from Lenovo and provide a good matte display option) and the good but not great battery life. I'd like to see a test that shows the battery life at full screen brightness. (BTW, Josh provided this battery metric in his last review on the Asus laptop...very helpful metric...I'm jussayin....). Cheers.
I like your review style 👍🏽. Next laptop review, please check if they support HDR. Try out the video you play for display testing for HDR support right here on RUclips while browsing on Microsoft Edge ( Chromium version ). If possible, give Netflix a HDR try as well. Thanks Andrew and my next laptop shall be my FIRST AMD just with the new 5000 series Zen 3
I like your review and I learned a few things. I bought this same model you reviewed and really like it. I was pleasently surpirsed by the cpu power and I even played fortnite at 1080p. Very nice laptop indeed.
As you know if the surface pen has MPP (2.0) and not MPP (1.5). Because I'm looking for information on this and can't find it. Do you have any source? I would appreciate.
Hii i am a student how much space should my laptop have I will be going to do a little bit of light gaming and no video or photo editing. Is this laptop right for me Pls reply
Not sure if it's available where you are but hp offers a student discount here so take advantage if it if you can, I got 10% off the laptop and about 35% off the pen.
Nice review as always! Can I ask you a quick question Andrew??? I am starting medical school in 3 weeks, and I have been looking for a new laptop with at least 15" screen. What would you recommend among Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 15.6", Lenovo Yoga C940 2-in-1 15.6", HP Spectre 15.6" 4K, and MIcrosoft Surface Laptop 15" (Either i5-7 or Rhyzen 5-7) ??
I really do not leave a review for some reason, but leave it for other users. After using it for 3 days, write it under heat. The seller only asks the HP Customer Center to inquire about the buyer's inquiries without using the product, and the answer is not correct. Windows Hello cannot be recognized. I live because of the two-in-one crab tablet mode, but when I use it as a tablet and enter the power saving mode, I have to unfold it back to the laptop and press the power button to wake up again. This is really really annoying. I want to throw a laptop. The guy who designed the product didn't even benchmark the laptops of other companies and designed them, or did they use prototypes? At least the keyboard doesn't work, the power button doesn't work, or even the power button doesn't work. I have to go back to my laptop and press the power button. I get annoyed whenever I do. The keyboard backlight stays on, or when you press a key in a dark environment, the light turns on for about 5 seconds and then turns off again. I want to hit a guy who designed this too. He doesn't know why the backlight is there. Use Samsung's light recognition automatically, so it stays on when dark. During use, it is hung occasionally, and because of apps such as jump start or beggar, it eats a lot of CPU, it cannot be removed from the program removal, and it must be removed from the app. Fever is severe, and the sound of the fan is the sound of taking off the aircraft. It's the worst laptop ever except for performance and fluid motion. Samsung, LG, Lenovo, etc. There is no charge limit function to protect the battery. I'm regretting hitting the ground why I waited for a 2700 one into 4700U and bought this product. I don't leave a review if I can, but if I use this for 3 days in tablet mode, I think I will get cancer. Bottom Line: Never buy someone to use in tablet mode. Cancer jam... I tried to break it, but I decided to endure selling it as a used one.
The truth is, both Intel and AMD are garbage for laptop gaming, as is the concept itself - these devices were never ment for any serious processing such as modern gaming
As someone who owns this laptop there are a few minor issues I would like to mention. Trackpad is kinda small and vertical sensitivity is on the high side. No Ethernet, even with the USB hub you can include with the purchase (like the recommended accessory)
@@Colombiche7 don't have a 4k monitor to test it with but I don't see why it wouldn't. The only video port the device has is USB-C though so if the monitor has an HDMI or DisplayPort cable you'll need an adapter.
I usually like your videos because you present the machine in a not that much technical way so even people that are not tech savvys like me can understand what you are doing ! Nice machine even considering all the cons ! I expect to see a review with the Rizen 7 - even though I cannot buy one ! :-( Thanks for the video and God bless you !
Wow i didn't expect it has the same thickness as the xps. I always admire the design of xps. Thankss
4 года назад
Awesome review as usual! I was waiting for the Acer Spin 5 for months and this came and it lloks sooó good for the price. Any plans on reviewing the probook 435 g7 x360? On paper it looks like it's the probook variant of this laptop, with some extra ports and upgradibitly for not much more.
I didn't see any mention of Windows Hello ability, I suppose it can't ? Other than that, what a piece of gear ! Thanks Andrew Marc for that review :) Most probably my replacement for my Acer Aspire S7 392 that's been used every day for 7 years now ! (impressed)
@@andrewmarcdavid Thank you for that precision, I should have been more careful (but hey, this one's so gorgeous my attention was all at your video, a little less on the audio ^^)
Brilliant review . Thanks Would you do me a favor and answer my very important question . Does its USB c port able to run for example 2 external hard drives, external monitor, mouse, keyboard and may be an ex speaker in the same time?. Another way to my question I don't need to carry a USB c hub that need's power to run but I need to carry a very tiny USB c with mulitiple outs (HDMI, AUX, USB A ....) in may bag and to be able to run all these things through this labtop's USB c on the go. Does its USB c has this much power or wattage? or how much the limit for this labtop or all labtops if there is a general answer for all type C's? . Thanks again and I'm waiting your answer kindlly.
Hey did u calibrate the screen on Windows Calibration settings? Mine seem to have a slight yellow/warm tint.On calibration it seems to be fine.But would like to know if it's normal?
So far I'm really liking my hp x360, but I've noticed a small defect in the left hinge. Its slightly uneven and not flush with the body. You can only really notice it when the laptop is closed so I guess its not a big deal? just a small issue with quality control. I've only had mine for a day.
Hey, Andrew! Good to see you again. Love the awesome review🤛🏾. The rest ain't got nothin' on you. The new Envy is really a beauty. Hope you're well and staying safe.
@@andrewmarcdavid it truly is a remarkable performer, and I really like the sweet spot balance HP has been having in the thermals/performance ratios when compared specifically to Lenovo and Dell. I'm really looking to the long-term Flex and Dex app reviews, btw. I very nearly chose the Flex but was already leaning towards the Spectre - that Q-LED display, the S-pen and the class-leading battery life almost had me hook, line and sinker
Can we get a video comparing different thin and lights at the 800$ somewhat student oriented with a bit of gaming. I loved this laptop and the video but want a few more options Edit: I’ve honestly never seen a content creator like a comment on a month old video, I presumed that you would never see this. You’re awesome Also more of Amd ryzen 5 please
I wish HP and Lenovo would tell you if the non-upgradeable RAM is configured in dual channel or not - my understanding is dual chan greatly improves APU gaming performance.
I am undecided in choosing between the 11th gen i7, 16gb versus the ryzen 7 with 16gb (13.3 inch envy x360). With hardly any price difference which one is better. Kindly give your view.
**NOTES** RAM is dual channel for those wondering.
Any 4800u will be available?
I don't have any information
Oh... So 8gb dual channel? That's good enough. Thanks 😊
@@andrewmarcdavid it comes with hp pen gen 1 ? Gen 2 is sold apart?

This Envy(from Walmart) vs the Flex 5(from Amazon) at the the same price of $599 ....I think this takes the cake. The build quality seems far better , it's 0.5 lbs lighter, it's way better looking and the screen just obliterates the Flex 5....along with the Acer Swift 3 's weak screen. These advantages more than covers for it's 8 gb ram vs Flex 5's 16gb. These new AMD chips are absolutely amazing...I'm excited to see what's coming out next. A Ryzen 7 with a good Radeon GPU would be devastating...
Edit...the $599 x360 from Walmart is actually the 15 inch version and heavier...A review says the 8gb ram is upgradable though.
Is this 13 inch laptop good for professional works like programming,software development etc...
This looks amazing. I am going to recommend this to my sister who is looking for a laptop under 1000 usd. She doesn't play games and mostly going to be using it for home productivity work! Looks slick! Thanks Andrew! Subscribed to your channel!!
Top notch review as always :)
Any plans to review the Ideapad S540 (AMD and 16:10 display)? The Zenbook 14 with the MX350 is interesting too but some reviews claim it throttles the CPU down to 10 watts while others claim it runs fine. It has a single shared heat pipe to cool both so I'm assuming the former is true but I hope you can review it to validate.
Bought mine today, I'll see how it goes
How is it?
A C yeah, it’s a wonderful machine, I’m no expert though but comparing to the one I had previously this’s marvellous. I’ve access to some computers at work and other places as well and I think this one is great.
Now I can draw some stuff at ease, I like doing cartoons and the like to tell a story and since I got this computer it’s making my life easier.
@@rodmaf2274 Hey, how is it 3 months later ? I'm considering buying it but I'm worried about the battery life after a few months of use
@@4everBarbz yeah it’s a marvel of a machine according to my end user feedback. It gives me a seamless user interface, the graphics are awesome, the battery ‘life’ has been excellent I can use it for hours without charge and many more things you can do you name it and so I think it’s a great buy & maybe the latest version will be more immersive. All the best.
@@rodmaf2274 Thank you for the answer ! Then it's decided, I'm buying it !
Great Review ! top notch ...
As for the webcam, i think it's outdated at 720P, especially in this day and age when people rely more on video conferencing. Not impressed with the video quality.
Excellent presentation and technical analysis . Agree x360 Ryzen 4500U is highly competitive both price , performance. I was not sure of AMD 4500U as opposed to Intel i5, but seems AMD has now hit the bar. I looked at HP Specter as well , but found it too glittering ; only other to compare with was DELL Inspiron 13 ...Thanks Andrew ..
Question for anyone that owns a laptop that runs ryzen 4 or greater. How long do these laptops last? I'm looking to purchase the hp envy x360 nightfall running ryzen 5. Should I purchase it ? I've never owned a ryzen laptop only Intel.
Watching this on my Envy x360 with the Ryzen 4700!
Only thing I wish for is a future 16:10 model
Nice!! How is the performance on the Ryzen 7? How about thermals? Enjoy!!
Only had it for 2 days now, didn't get to try out some graphically intense games yet. But from my daily usage it performs and feels very nice. Doesn't get too hot running in HP's recommended mode. (Have the 16 GB option)
@@Knetsch108 I've heard that the fan is always running, is this true from your experience?
Good to hear!
Fyi: The ram is NOT soldered. It has two distinct slots, thus you can upgrade accordingly,
Ravi Peiris M.D.
This laptop hits the sweet spot. Good performance nice display all day battery life all in a quality light weight chassis .You can get laptops with higher performance & better screen but don't expect battery life anywhere near this.
I just stumbled onto your channel and its great...
Wish I needed info on new tech more often
AMD is killing it - I got a Matebook with AMD 5 - 16 GB of RAM & 512 Pcie - it fly by the tasks - of course not for gaming i use It only for my work - Awesome keyboard and fast booting - Really really good for students and business pro- I travel a lot and its very impressive.
Great review, Andrew. Just one question: even though it doesn't have Thunderbolt 3, you can still connect it to an external monitor (4k, 60hz) via the USB C port and it will also support charging?
Many thanks
Hey, USB-C in this laptop supports:
- DisplayPort 1.4 up to 5 120 × 2 880 @60Hz
- HDMI 2.0 up to 4 096 × 2 160 @60Hz
- transfer speeds 10Gb/s
- power delivery
Hope this helped! 🙋🏼♂️
@@filiprandjak9715 awesome, thank you!
@@filiprandjak9715 charging over usb-c too
@@itsepocx yes that's what "power delivery" basically means hehe 🙂
After I decided to replace my MacBook Pro with a better laptop, since I experienced NO innovation with Apple for the past 6 years, I did a very long research in order to find a good replacement product. Then I found the HP ENVY x360 RYZEN5 with a 1 TB SSD. - To make it short: After nearly two months of using the new HP, I have never been more impressed and happy working with this laptop. It has the greatest design and the best performance for that price! (I don't play games, therefore I didn't require a top processor). - I made the best purchase decision ever! All I did was kicking out the Microsoft OUTLOOK 365 software. It is the worst MS software ever, although I have worked with OUTLOOK for over 20 years without any problems! But the 365 version ist just crap! I replaced it with a much better one: MAILBIRD !! It looks and feels a bit like OUTLOOK but much better and excellent in its performance !!! I can recommend that to everyone.
Thanks for the thorough review! Any chance you'd be reviewing the Lenovo Slim 7 anytime soon? I'm waiting for it before buying either it or the Envy x360. A local tech store in Finland has the Slim 7 listed to arrive next monday (the 13th).
Hopefully
Wow Andrew, thank you very much for the great review! You are definitely on a roll with these reviews of really good laptops, specially for productivity.
I think this can definitely be my new development machine. If it had a better aspect ratio for productivity it would be almost "perfect".
I'm going to check if there's a R5/16gb version.
Thanks Jose!!
@@andrewmarcdavid thank you!
I've quickly went to see different configurations and looked at user reviews a lot positive but a lot also saying they have issues with screen flickering and wifi, just bad luck or on par for HP?
Simple and concise review as always. Thanks for great content Mr. AMD hahaha! Stay safe buddy ✌🏻
Nice review...I think HP has a real winner on their hands with this one! If I bought one I'd go with the AMD 4700 primarily because you can't get 16GB of RAM unless you go with the 4700. I'd also go with the 400 nit screen (same as what you reviewed vs 300 nit screen)......The only key downsides to me are the glossy screen (vendors, please learn from Lenovo and provide a good matte display option) and the good but not great battery life. I'd like to see a test that shows the battery life at full screen brightness. (BTW, Josh provided this battery metric in his last review on the Asus laptop...very helpful metric...I'm jussayin....). Cheers.
Great points 👍
How is the performance of the integrated graphics vs an MX350?
OUTSTANDING Editing and shots. Great video!
I'm so excited my dad just bought me one for school! Big upgrade from an i3 8th gen acer aspire 5!!!
I like your review style 👍🏽. Next laptop review, please check if they support HDR. Try out the video you play for display testing for HDR support right here on RUclips while browsing on Microsoft Edge ( Chromium version ). If possible, give Netflix a HDR try as well. Thanks Andrew and my next laptop shall be my FIRST AMD just with the new 5000 series Zen 3
I bought it at best buy for 580. And it's the 15 inch screen. Really pleased with it. And great review
I really like the premium look of it and I'm thinking of buying it for school. Thanks.
I like your review and I learned a few things. I bought this same model you reviewed and really like it. I was pleasently surpirsed by the cpu power and I even played fortnite at 1080p. Very nice laptop indeed.
As you know if the surface pen has MPP (2.0) and not MPP (1.5). Because I'm looking for information on this and can't find it. Do you have any source?
I would appreciate.
True i got mine and am using it for my music recording never had a problem .
Hii i am a student how much space should my laptop have I will be going to do a little bit of light gaming and no video or photo editing.
Is this laptop right for me
Pls reply
Minimum of 256 GB. Preferably 512GB or above
@@andrewmarcdavid thanks you for the reply
@@andrewmarcdavid love your video keep upgrading us ♥️♥️
Not sure if it's available where you are but hp offers a student discount here so take advantage if it if you can, I got 10% off the laptop and about 35% off the pen.
Nice review as always! Can I ask you a quick question Andrew??? I am starting medical school in 3 weeks, and I have been looking for a new laptop with at least 15" screen. What would you recommend among Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 15.6", Lenovo Yoga C940 2-in-1 15.6", HP Spectre 15.6" 4K, and MIcrosoft Surface Laptop 15" (Either i5-7 or Rhyzen 5-7) ??
Crushing the review game once again!! Great review brother!!👍🏼👍
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
Brilliant review very informative and entertaining. On my Envy X360 right now got it yesterday. Absolutely love it a gorgeous powerful 2 in 1.
Enjoy it
I'm looking for the Envy x360 15 2020 could you please review it and compare for other brands for the same price?
How is the 4500U model for 1080p video editing?
I really do not leave a review for some reason, but leave it for other users.
After using it for 3 days, write it under heat.
The seller only asks the HP Customer Center to inquire about the buyer's inquiries without using the product, and the answer is not correct.
Windows Hello cannot be recognized.
I live because of the two-in-one crab tablet mode, but when I use it as a tablet and enter the power saving mode, I have to unfold it back to the laptop and press the power button to wake up again.
This is really really annoying. I want to throw a laptop.
The guy who designed the product didn't even benchmark the laptops of other companies and designed them, or did they use prototypes?
At least the keyboard doesn't work, the power button doesn't work, or even the power button doesn't work.
I have to go back to my laptop and press the power button. I get annoyed whenever I do.
The keyboard backlight stays on, or when you press a key in a dark environment, the light turns on for about 5 seconds and then turns off again.
I want to hit a guy who designed this too. He doesn't know why the backlight is there.
Use Samsung's light recognition automatically, so it stays on when dark.
During use, it is hung occasionally, and because of apps such as jump start or beggar, it eats a lot of CPU, it cannot be removed from the program removal, and it must be removed from the app.
Fever is severe, and the sound of the fan is the sound of taking off the aircraft.
It's the worst laptop ever except for performance and fluid motion.
Samsung, LG, Lenovo, etc. There is no charge limit function to protect the battery.
I'm regretting hitting the ground why I waited for a 2700 one into 4700U and bought this product.
I don't leave a review if I can, but if I use this for 3 days in tablet mode, I think I will get cancer.
Bottom Line: Never buy someone to use in tablet mode. Cancer jam...
I tried to break it, but I decided to endure selling it as a used one.
sadly soldered ram and no 16gb option for ryzen 5 :(
the ryzen 7 with 16gb is a very nice option! I am sure there isnt much difference in single core performance...
if they didnt do it how they would sell the R7 lol
Can you make a review of the Dell Inspiron 14 2 in 1 AMD. It's amazing. Please.
Great video, I would love to see a review of the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15' with either of those Ryzen 5 or 7 processors
A: but but intel is better in games!
Me: you forgot to put "when it paired with dedicated gpu" behind it.
AMD is better in laptops now. The CPU, but also have a better GPU
The truth is, both Intel and AMD are garbage for laptop gaming, as is the concept itself - these devices were never ment for any serious processing such as modern gaming
As someone who owns this laptop there are a few minor issues I would like to mention.
Trackpad is kinda small and vertical sensitivity is on the high side.
No Ethernet, even with the USB hub you can include with the purchase (like the recommended accessory)
I got a usb to ethetnet converter cable in my box. Uk here
Does it work with a 4k monitor? Thanks
@@Colombiche7 don't have a 4k monitor to test it with but I don't see why it wouldn't. The only video port the device has is USB-C though so if the monitor has an HDMI or DisplayPort cable you'll need an adapter.
I usually like your videos because you present the machine in a not that much technical way so even people that are not tech savvys like me can understand what you are doing !
Nice machine even considering all the cons !
I expect to see a review with the Rizen 7 - even though I cannot buy one ! :-(
Thanks for the video and God bless you !
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
Really excited!
Getting this model soon
Which one should I buy.... Spectre or envy... I am so confused
Wow i didn't expect it has the same thickness as the xps. I always admire the design of xps. Thankss
Awesome review as usual!
I was waiting for the Acer Spin 5 for months and this came and it lloks sooó good for the price.
Any plans on reviewing the probook 435 g7 x360?
On paper it looks like it's the probook variant of this laptop, with some extra ports and upgradibitly for not much more.
Getting the R7 16GB 512GB version with Pro and comes with the new pen. I'm excited!
What do you recommend a Ryzen 5 4500U or Ryzen 5 4700U? Also, what do you think is better this HP Envy of the Lenobo Flex 5?
BossPlayzGamez the 4700U is the Ryzen 7.
nice ,smooth and efficient ,and very long battery life. go for it.
I didn't see any mention of Windows Hello ability, I suppose it can't ? Other than that, what a piece of gear ! Thanks Andrew Marc for that review :)
Most probably my replacement for my Acer Aspire S7 392 that's been used every day for 7 years now ! (impressed)
In the video during webcam demo I state this is not windows hello compatible as for the webcam
@@andrewmarcdavid Thank you for that precision, I should have been more careful (but hey, this one's so gorgeous my attention was all at your video, a little less on the audio ^^)
Brilliant review . Thanks
Would you do me a favor and answer my very important question . Does its USB c port able to run for example 2 external hard drives, external monitor, mouse, keyboard and may be an ex speaker in the same time?. Another way to my question I don't need to carry a USB c hub that need's power to run but I need to carry a very tiny USB c with mulitiple outs (HDMI, AUX, USB A ....) in may bag and to be able to run all these things through this labtop's USB c on the go. Does its USB c has this much power or wattage? or how much the limit for this labtop or all labtops if there is a general answer for all type C's? . Thanks again and I'm waiting your answer kindlly.
Does this amd version come in 15inch model and will it be good for programming or do you recommend any other for programming
Hey did u calibrate the screen on Windows Calibration settings? Mine seem to have a slight yellow/warm tint.On calibration it seems to be fine.But would like to know if it's normal?
Does this has palm rejection for easy writing using pen?
Bit sad that it does not have a full-sized SD card slot, but that aside it looks like quite a steal.
It is a full sized SD card slot !?!
So far I'm really liking my hp x360, but I've noticed a small defect in the left hinge. Its slightly uneven and not flush with the body. You can only really notice it when the laptop is closed so I guess its not a big deal? just a small issue with quality control.
I've only had mine for a day.
Hey, Andrew! Good to see you again. Love the awesome review🤛🏾. The rest ain't got nothin' on you. The new Envy is really a beauty. Hope you're well and staying safe.
Hey, thanks Paul! I really like this offering from HP!
@@andrewmarcdavid it truly is a remarkable performer, and I really like the sweet spot balance HP has been having in the thermals/performance ratios when compared specifically to Lenovo and Dell. I'm really looking to the long-term Flex and Dex app reviews, btw. I very nearly chose the Flex but was already leaning towards the Spectre - that Q-LED display, the S-pen and the class-leading battery life almost had me hook, line and sinker
Can we get a video comparing different thin and lights at the 800$ somewhat student oriented with a bit of gaming. I loved this laptop and the video but want a few more options
Edit: I’ve honestly never seen a content creator like a comment on a month old video, I presumed that you would never see this. You’re awesome
Also more of Amd ryzen 5 please
Thanks for the great review! Is this good enough for 1080p video editing with the 8gb RAM and onboard graphics? TIA
Thanks for the review ! I'm buying it right now.
I wish HP and Lenovo would tell you if the non-upgradeable RAM is configured in dual channel or not - my understanding is dual chan greatly improves APU gaming performance.
I am checking
@@andrewmarcdavid it is dual channel
@KeepitMelo 41 I have the 15.6 version, so the RAM isn't soldered on those models?
Question: How do you put the rubber band back on after upgrading it?
I'd imagine it's still sticky but I wouldn't think that'll stay.
Nice review Andrew 👍🏼 keep up. I am really waiting your review of the new Lenovo ideapad5 14 with Ryzen 4000 series (not 2 in 1 laptop)
I will try!
Idk why they don't put simcard insert in 2in 1 laptops
I am undecided in choosing between the 11th gen i7, 16gb versus the ryzen 7 with 16gb (13.3 inch envy x360). With hardly any price difference which one is better. Kindly give your view.
thanks for the video, I'm looking forward for this laptop, and now I'm 100% sure that this is the one
Just bought it and love it!
Nice!
Andrew Marc David I bought the 15 inch. It is heavy, but who cares? It’s solid and lightning quick.
