Best buy sells the ENVY 16-h1023dx for 1700 and i got it on sale for 1200usd. Same specs except it has an i9 processor and the ram isn't upgraded from 16gb. I enjoy the laptops aluminum body .
I bought the exact same one but I snagged it when it was on sale for 1100. Also I have a best buy credit card and they gave me $100 in gift certificates for using it so I bought myself a nice carrying bag and a cooling pad for it. I'm thrilled with my purchase
I just bought this little stunner after MUCH research! I nearly bought a Macbook, but I just can't get behind apple. They have great performance, bu t its just not worth the inflated price. I am grateful that I went with HP instead.
Agreed. I bought my Envy 16 (i9) model in May 2023, knowing full well of the Macbook battery life advantages. I absolutely made the right decision. While I prefer the look of MacOS, the functionality of Windows 11 I prefer. And we won't even go into software options. Love my Envy 16.
now I am solving the same case: macbook m2 pro (basic specification 1T ssd) vs envy in the highest equipment (32gb ram, 2T ssd and Oled) and I still don't know
Thank You for your review. I bought this one as a student. It has the Core i7 13700H 16GB DDR5 RAM 1TB SSD 2560p Display 120HZ but Intel Arc A370M compared to the RTX 3060 option as there was no RTX variant at the store. I love this laptop though, it is superb. It is much better than my old loser Acer Swift 3 2019 with terrible specs like only 4GB RAM lol
I need a laptop for video editing. The leading software I use is Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop. Is this laptop suitable for me, or do I need to prefer Lenovo Legion Pro 5i?
I'm debating on getting this laptop for school work. I use a lot of programs that my MacBook Pro can't handle since the programs only work on WinOS. Do the USB C ports also work as charging ports? Thanks!
Thanks for the nice review. Can you please also review the Acer Swift Go 16, please? It's a new laptop and seems to check all the boxes while being budget friendly. Thanks
I bought this laptop (HP Envy 16-h1023dx) last June 22, 2023. Mine died after just 5 months! The RTX 4060 GPU died. It is currently at an HP service center where it has been for 5 weeks. Now they are saying at least 2 more weeks! They say they are waiting for a new motherboard.
it hurt me when he was messing with the hinge like that. if you do that on daily the hinge will break and the display will pop out after like 6 months of use. so dont do that you need to be really careful with the lid on hp laptops. they will break anyway but if you force it around like that it will break way sooner. make sure you open the laptop from the middle distributing the force equally and not using too much force and dont let it wobble like that. that puts too much pressure on where the hinge connects to the lid and will cause it to break really soon
Hey I totally agree with everything you said, just want to point out I do that on purpose as an extreme test on the hinge to see its out of box quality. Using that kind of force allows me to get an idea of the hinge quality very quickly (the alternative would be to wait several months with general use). To your point though, for any one reading this please do not use the hinge like I did in this video lol
@@odevnohmy I got it this week end. General impression is amazing. I would only have moved USB and charging on the left side in order to avoid to have problems with mouse (for right handed). May I ask you if I can charge the PC also using the USB C type ? I ask this because the charger is so damn huge and I would like not to use it when I am moving for work ! It's almost as heavy as the whole PC !
From my experience the XPS has better build quality than the Envy (better hinge, keyboard, slimmer bezels, etc.,). However the Envy has quite a bit better performance due to the higher-wattage GPU and better thermal solution (vapor chamber). The 90W 4060 in the Envy is extremely good and beats out even the 4070 in the XPS since it only has 40W. The Envy also has more "goodies" like the high refresh rate display, better webcam, etc., Both are upgradable with RAM and SSD slots.
the xps would be much better. the envy's build quality is bad and the hinges will break the speakers sound not that great and such. honestly i would prefer a lower wattage cooler running quieter laptop i think the 90 watt gpu thing reaaly isnt worth the hinge failures, worse touchpad, worse speakers and worse keyboard. the battery life on the dell would be better too
Please confirm that the two top firing speakers on either side of the keyboard actually push out sound. I've watched another review where they said the tow grills serve no audio purpose at all. I'm wondering if this is something that can be activated in the audio settings.
they probably sound the same as the envy 15 2020 2021 ... whatever. they are te exact same speakers that has been being used on the envy laptops for some time now so dont expect anything better than like a tablet speaker. they sound really clear vocals and the highs are really well tuned it does get loud too but there is just no bass. if you dont listen to bassy songs it wont be problem. agaşn just like tablet speakers
Ahhhh HP, you missed the chance to make this 16:10 display. This looks to be a great laptop. It is expensive though, but with that screen. Anyone looking to pick this up: do not go for the i9.
I have a small nitpick...but before I mention it...let me say that I understand the reasoning why. Here goes...when I see my beautiful HP Envy 16 with the Nvidia and Intel stickers still on it I PULL MY HAIR OUT!!! It's a clean looking laptop...except for the ugly blue and green stickers on every review unit. That's it. OH, I own the i9 model of this same laptop.
does anyonw know why the difference in price between that an an i9 'gaming' laptop? i see it can run games fine, is there something im missing? throttling? psu?
They you were checking screen woble makes me stop watching. Learn from other channel how to review in a natural environment. Pleae do not insult the machine.
Chill my dude, machines don't have feelings firstly lol. The test is designed to be extreme in nature as the hinge has not been used long enough to give a "real world" test about it's durability.

the very first sentence was golden

I'm not usually a HP Envy supporter, but this is amazing.
Glad you think so

Win HP
How is the fan noise under heavy loads? how about the heat with heavy loads ?
I just ordered the i9 64GB 2TB RTX4070 version. So, I hope this is a favorable review.

This or the Asus TUF F15 (2023)? Both with 32gb of RAM and i9.
Why did they stop selling the i9 version?
Remind the video time line 7 minutes
resolution 2880x1880 is 16:10 aspect ratio
No direct video from the webcam? :(
Very Nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have just bought it. Hope not to be disappointed
Any updates?

@@gianlucaarosio8982 have you tried gaming for long periods of time? to check it's performance as temperature increases
@@gianlucaarosio8982hi what's the price of the laptop?
In the UK can't find the Envy with the RTX 4060 😞
Sorry to hear that!
How does this compare to a XPS 15 with similar specs (built quality, keyboard, upgradability, ..)
From my experience the XPS has better build quality than the Envy (better hinge, keyboard, slimmer bezels, etc.,). However the Envy has quite a bit better performance due to the higher-wattage GPU and better thermal solution (vapor chamber).

i bought this laptop and the keyboard gets hot when under load.
Which laptop will you suggest for a student which needs to do programming and machine learning projects?
It’s hard to say any one depends on your needs. My channel has several other laptop reviews for your search.
Ahhhh HP, you missed the chance to make this 16:10 display. This looks to be a great laptop. It is expensive though, but with that screen. Anyone looking to pick this up: do not go for the i9.
Why not the I9?
@@user-nk5in1lw1m Thermals and noise
The envy 16 does actually have a 16:10 display it’s just a bigger bezel on the bottom for some reason
does the screen wobble when you type?
Can you link your wallpaper on the laptop it looks nice
Hi I would love to but I do not remember which one it was sadly. I think I googled 4K abstract wallpapers on google or something.
Is it good for rendering?
ist touch screen tho? the one I was checking is touchscreen but I wanted to know how good it is?
Good review
Glad you think so!
Mine didn’t come with a sad slot is that normal
Will this be a better option than mac m1pro tryna make purchase before month end don't kw which is best
I swear, you won't regret both but Mac is in its league.
HP Victus does have the same specs but its screen is terrible.
how/where do you get this with OLED + 4060?
Configrations vary be region. Check your local region HP site to see what is availible in your area.
How is the fan noise on this device?
Hey there, details in the thermal chapter of the review.
Bought the i9 4060 16gb model for 999$ anyone here have problem with fan noise?
Hi from where you bought it do you have a link?
Great review and i have a question, does it support any stylus?
Hi great question not sure of the top of my head but you can check it under the technical specs for this laptop on HP's official website.
I have a small nitpick...but before I mention it...let me say that I understand the reasoning why.

How's it working as of late?
Down to personal preference, i love my stickers!
Can this computer connect to the ethernet?
Details in the design and Porte sections of the review.
Please model number laptop ?
does anyonw know why the difference in price between that an an i9 'gaming' laptop? i see it can run games fine, is there something im missing? throttling? psu?
gaming laptops are usually made cheaper and the hp envy's usually share parts between the omen lineup anyway it doesnt really matter
I love my Envy 17 but the same time I hate it. It’s 2023 it can be better from HP
What is wrong with it
Get the Ryzen AMD

The smallest specs on screen i've ever seen, WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU DUDE
A little harsh for a small mistake don’t you think? I’ll be sure to make it larger next time.
