Lol 2 years ago l bought a laptop from asus with a ryzen 7 with a 1660 ti for the same price and an 18 inch screen. Sure there might be 2 cons: no thunder bolt port...(woulda been cool) and it’s cooling fan sounds like a jet engine. but I still think I’d take my old laptop over this one.
It’s not even a good deal. For that price you can get a Lenovo Legion 5 with a Ryzen 7 4800H and an RTX2060 with 16gb of ram and have money left over to throw 32gb of ram and a bigger/second SSD into it if you wanted to. It’s not even that much thicker surprisingly because it’s a Lenovo. I use one as my daily driver AND my gaming PC. Just buy that. Hell there’s even an optional 80whr battery. I just don’t understand their recommendations sometimes.
@@HilbertXVI Could you make that comment just a little more generic please. "Not necessarily a bad thing".....I mean what does that even mean, take a stand man, stop being a fence sitter all of your life.
@@HilbertXVI In many cultures including my own, talking about "shaving your balls", and "the smell of wood" is offensive.

I buy this model 2 month ago in Costco for 845+tax. The CPU its ryzen 7 with GPU Radeon(idk what model idont care cause i dont use for gaming, but i try dead by Daylight run decent.)
I wish I'd done something that cool with my beater car that was over priced. Still I have to buy another beater car for even more money. I really wish I had a mechanic friend.
I’m pretty sure the type-C port has charging. My Hp Elitebook has a barrel plug but it can also charge using the Thunderbolt 3 port. I tried and it works
Yeah, the only difference: You can't really game or use it productively with the whole performance or it will drain the battery slowly. But still, that's not a big issue. On the go I would only take a USB-C charger with me.
@@jodiac To be fair, whether it's TB3 or not isn't what determines whether it can be charged via a USB-C port or not. It's a question of whether the manufacturer enabled the port as a "Type-C PD" port, PD standing for Power Delivery. I have a Dell Latitude 7390 which doesn't have ThunderBolt, but does allow charging via its Type-C port.
Owning a HP Envy x360, I have to say that I love the dedicated buttons to kill my mic and webcam on the HP line. Actually this would (since I have this one) maybe be a feature I would be looking at when I would upgrade the laptop in a few years. I value privacy, and knowing for sure (at least for the laptop) that my webcam is not visible, due to the plastic that is moved in front of it, makes me a lot more comfortable. Thus would personally recommend other companies to do that as well for the people like me.
Me as well. Can't wait for Linus painting walls either. I wish he'll consider it for his series where he takes on a job to see if it's feasible for kids to take over the summer and if they can earn a laptop (forgot the series name).
I ordered this laptop after watching and reading some other reviews this week. I was also heavily considering the Razer Book 13, Spectre, and XPS. Here's why I pulled the trigger on the Envy 14: * Relatively slim form-factor that I could actually put in my bag and use on-the-go. (Not super bulky or heavy like other competitors in this price range and screen size.) * The 1650 Ti seems like an upgrade to medium/high gaming compared to light gaming with an Iris Xe integrated GPU. (Wins against most competitors in this price range.) This should carry me for a while before getting an eGPU when the current gen GPU stocking issues calm down, whenever that is. * Port selection is above average compared to others in this size (or 13 inch). I was looking at some of the XPS options and the lack of even one USB-A is a deal-breaker. * I wouldn't feel embarrassed when using this in a professional environment. * The build quality has been reviewed pretty highly. The other laptop I was looking at is the Razer Book 13, but I've been assured that the build quality is not noticeably better there to justify the cost w/o a dedicated GPU. I'm still a little worried about whether the lid will have an overbite or underbite, but since I customized my config I won't know for a month if it's good. * Great reviews about the screen. 400 nits seems like a pretty good sweet-spot for this category. * 16:10 display ratio. I won't consider 16:9 for anything that I want to be able to use for productivity (web, photos, docs, coding, etc.) * I don't want a touch laptop or 2-in-1 design (might as well get a separate Chromebook for that and Android apps), so I'm happy to save a few bucks here. * I can still charge with USB-C, but of course because of the specs for USB-C I won't be able to deliver enough power when it's at full utilization. I'm not worried about this since I don't plan to game or compile with it on-the-go. Now, some things I'm less stoked about: * No Windows Hello. I haven't had this feature before, but at least it has a fingerprint reader, which I hope will make up for it. * No expandable RAM. But I really don't see 16GB being much of a limitation for me anyway. * Only one M.2 slot. I got the base 256GB drive, since even just upgrading to 512GB was a stupid price. Would have preferred two slots, but I'll take the hit for cost savings. * I wish webcams would be better in 2021 all around. I don't really anticipate using it alot, but who knows what the next few years will bring? * I've been totally f-ed before by Nvidia knowingly including faulty GPU packaging, so the laptops would overheat and damage other components.Taking a risk by giving them a chance here. * Going to take a month to ship (I assume since I did a custom config to i7, 1650 Ti, 16GB RAM, matte non-touch screen, 256GB M.2.)
@@mlucproduction1239 I'm really happy with it. It took me few days to get back to you because I wanted to replace my 256GB base M.2 SSD with a 1TB upgrade I bought (SK hynix Gold P31, on sale thru Amazon for $114). I can say the procedure went pretty smoothly once I realized that HP's own service manual was inaccurate about which screw driver was needed to remove the bottom panel. Search for HP's service video for accurate information (it's a Torx T5, BTW). It also gives the steps specifically for the M.2 replacement. If anyone is interested more about the software I had to use please let me know and I'll fill you in, don't want to spend too much time on this here. Anyway, I'm very happy I didn't spend the money on a higher capacity SSD from the factory. I've found that doing some gaming with the 1650Ti has been pretty great. Haven't done a ton. Firewatch, Civ VI, Halo 1 MCC, CD:GO. So nothing TOO intense. Never felt like the Envy 14 was holding me back. The fans at full volume aren't that bad, definitely shouldn't be a problem with headphones on. So I have a pretty aggressive fan curve to keep everything cool in order to extend the life of my components (had bad luck with Nvidia cards breaking down in the past). The port selection has been great, especially switching between my work computer and this one at my desk. I'm using a Targus dock that charges, drives 2 monitors, ethernet, and a TON of USB devices and it hasn't had a problem with the load. Ok, so enough of the great stuff. I do have just one complaint, and it's pretty minor, and maybe something I can fix myself with some lube. When I open and close the laptop it sort of creaks? Instead of being totally smooth the hinges seem to have a little too much friction and makes an audible noise at the start of any movement. Once it gets going it's not a problem, but it does cheapen the whole experience slightly. If you have specific questions about anything I mentioned above or anything I didn't then please shoot them at me and I'll be happy to answer them!

@@Bugattiboy912 As a Thinkpad elitist, this video did nothing to convince me to buy this shitty HP laptop, though saying an HP laptop is shitty is redundant.
@@Bugattiboy912 You definitely make a good point, I agree. This video screams of "I like this product because we get paid in exchange for pushing/marketing this product for corporations. Negative reviews make brands less likely to send us review units, so smiles everywhere." @Comic Sans I think your position is justified. Once one experiences good build quality and reliability, it's hard to go back to the planned obsolescence of many other laptop brands.
@@SilverScarletSpider not sure id go so far. its just that compared to you thinkpad guys or me with my 3kg rugged brick, they have a fairly milk toast view of what makes a good laptop, which they have to have because otherwise 90% of theyre unboxings or reviews would be useless because they'd make the same complaints every time. so to have a long term watchable video series on regular laptops you have to more or less like regular laptops. not even saying they have a different oppinion than they present, just that only people who have this kind of view of laptops can keep making laptop reviews.
@@agrisimfarming The 999 USD MacBook Air M1 is actually vastly more powerful and efficient than this HP. It's just the GPU. The HP has a ~15% faster GPU. But the MacBook has 15+ hours of battery and ~9+ hours when using it heavy with full load. MacBook has a much better display, touchpad and speakers too. It's even quieter. And above all, cheaper. I'd go for the MacBook since this HP has too little GPU power over the M1 and lacks a lot in CPU compared to the M1 MBA.

A lot of these new premium intel ultrabooks now come with a bios and/or software setting to change them from "balanced" mode to "performance" mode. For example, new lenovo ultrabooks do this even directly via their "Lenovo Vantage" app on Windows 10. They come configured to "balanced" or "silent" mode by default. At this mode, the cpu never goes above 60-65ºC, and never fully turbo-boosts, to try and keep the pc cool to the touch and as silent as possible (work laptops). But if you change this to "Performance" the cpu can actually go up to 95-100ºC at max (it won't, but the BIOS will let the cpu boost as much as he want's up to that temperature instead of 65ºC) which makes the fan go much louder but also cool it better which leaves room for the intel cpu to turbo-boost a lot. Source: I had in my hands a brand new Lenovo Thinkbook that done this. Got ~2100 at cinebench, but was unusually quiet and cool (exactly what he noticed with this laptop at 8:02) but after finding this option and switching it to performance mode, the fans ramp up at the score on cinebench got to ~4500 with an i7-10510U. The way this HP is keeping the fans quiet to the point that even he noticed it, just confirms that this laptop is in fact at some type of silent mode. I've seen HP also do this with their Envy and Spectre laptops. I hope the LinusTechTips team learns this and stops trashing these laptops cpu performance just because they don't know they are in silent mode. Intel CPUs are bad, but not THAT bad... EDIT: yes it's confirmed, HP does this too, and this video was 100% sure using the "Balanced" default mode. The app they use is HP Command Center. Go there and switch to performance mode. 😉
@@walkinmn May not be too much longer now. USB 4 is coming sooner than we think (my hope/guess is 2H 2021 initial rollouts, more to follow 1H 2022), and USB 4 will be able to include Thunderbolt without Intel's hardcore blessing or scrutiny AMD doesn't need on cutting-edge products. I'm totally in the same boat, but hoping I can plunk down my money for an AMD/TB system within a year from now at the latest. Not really looking to go the route of proprietary e-GPU setups like the Asus ultrabook we've seen on LTT recently, either. They're awesome, but prices are pretty crazy, and (worse still), they won't become a de-facto standard, so those systems will become obsolete sooner than something with normal TB in play.
@@robertp457 Right now, Thinkpad P14s. Even though it doesn't have a discrete GPU, I recommend the AMD version over the Intel version (which has a Nvidia Quadro card) because it's cheaper and the CPU is so much better. I bought one new off of ebay for $870. You can get the Intel version on ebay for $1000, and you can easily upgrade the RAM on it.
I’ve had a 13” envy as a back up or more portably rig for a couple years now and they’re great. Not perfect for me but small, light, solid and capable.
Please don't suggest that the Home/End/Page Up/Page Down keys should go away or be demoted to less convenient locations. Those of us who write code or edit video for a living rely on these keys as much as any other and it has been a huge fight to keep them from disappearing. We need them badly.
The reason I like short circuit is, you can learn the person's background and interest regardless of what product it is Alex talks about CNC Anthony talks about coding Linus talks about...
My workplace bought a ton of hp laptops 2 years ago and we've had a lot of quality control issues. I don't have much trust in the brand now, but hopefully they got better.
I love the envy line for thin laptops, they have a good spec/price ratio and has good stuff where it matters like the screen, thunderbolt, etc. So yeah, good pick. My only problem is that right now amd offer considerably more for the money so if you can wait and hunt for something with it, I think it's worthy. Also 1 complaint about the video us, why was Alex comparing a 14" laptop keyboard to a 15"? Maybe compare it to the razer or something else.
This does charge through Type-C port as well and you can use any Power Delivery Charger of 45W or higher. Not sure why most reviewers miss this with Laptops equipped with Thunderbolt 4 port as it is implemented over USB 4.0 standard and it's a mandate for USB 4.0 to support Power Delivery, not an optional feature like in USB 3.2 Type-C.
I have an HP Envy 14 with the i7 and 1 TB SSD, and I absolutely love it. It's such a great allrounder for music, web, graphics, the occasional game and even video editing on the go. I love the design, and the ports (no dongle madness there). I am even thinking about getting a second one (with lower specs), because when I travel I always like to have a spare laptop and power supply with me.
Looks like they took the MSI keyboard approach of adding a "sidebar" on the right for those navigation keys. Honestly, I like that approach - why not use the whole width of the chassis for dedicated navigation keys? I currently use a MSI Prestige 15 2019, and it has del, ins, pgup, pgdn as its four "sidebar keys". I have to say, as a developer and server admin I really do appreciate them.

@@agrisimfarming Yes. Cheap laptops have that. All high-end laptops have soldered memory with the exception of most high-end Windows 15" and 17" machines. My Zenbook from ~5 years ago also has soldered memory. Nice? No. I like upgradeable ram!
Bought the HP envy x360 15 and haven't regretted it, the ryzen 5 is speedy af and has 512gb off nvme storage with about 9hrs of battery life. Overall, highly recommend.
Not everyone uses all the ports all the time, and I think having less ports does drive the cost down. Whether you save any real money buying something with less ports idk for sure..
I got the Envy 13 last year and really wish this was how they designed the newer Envy so I could have a bigger display without the passive and active privacy screen
As a programmer I love that keyboard layout, with the dedicated navigation keys on the right. Can we get some programmer opinions in your vids? Afaik all of your rewiews are written by content creators. How about asking Floatplane devs time to time?

@@darrionn33 It's not so much a budget issue though I'd be comfortable paying ~$2000 and maybe more for a solid, lasting laptop. I'm most concerned about finding quality and power. I don't care if it's big and heavy, it could be the dimensions and weight of a 90s laptop for all I care as long as its GPU is *at least* as good as a desktop RTX3070 and the rest of it matches that level of quality. It's the crazy variety of mobile ampere chips that is the problem, some are feeble but still advertised as being top tier, no mobile RTX3080 seems to be the same as the next.
@@OtioseFanatic I imagine a fair portion of it also includes the laptop body itself, the legion is perfectly serviceable but does kinda feel cheap, depends mostly on whether or not you want more power or a more balanced user experience, given their audience my bet would have been on power but guess not
@@AWallace722 balanced doesn’t work in the pc world. All you get is middling performance and shitty battery life as seen here. Also, feels cheap? Uh, no it doesn’t. The whole thing is rubberized for grip and is as solid as any classic thinkpad. Don’t confuse plastic with feeling cheap, plastic has many advantages. It’s like the RUclipsr DankPods says, a metal chassis does not forgive, or forget. Meanwhile a good and solid and well designed plastic chassis is as rigid as it needs to be while also having enough flex to save precious components like a screen in a tumble
@@bekhruzniyazov6600 Yeah, considering it's cheaper too. Even the M1 GPU is ~65-70% as fast as the one in this HP which is nice for an integraded chip. But the CPU in the M1 is lots stronger than in the HP. MBA M1 definitely the better buy here.
Even though it has a barrel jack and comes with a barrel charger in the box, I think you probably can charge over USB-C. The old model Envy does, and I would have thought this would be the same.
Omg Thank You! I Showed This on My Mum and Now She Just Buyed it Yesterday! Thank you for the review its so Amazing Good for Online Class and Meetings!
I bought an Envy X360 15" 8GB RAM 1TB SSD M.2 Ryzen 7 4700U last summer at Costco for 1099$ CAN and I love it ! It even came with a stylus and USB-C to HDMI/USB-3 dongle. RAM and SSD are replaceable, so I now have 32GB !!! Didn't change the 1TB SSD of course. Crushes that laptop you're drooling over ;-)
I really love the Dells XPS line but good lord does the price keep forcing me to look elsewhere. If they dont come out with a banger soon I think I may have to get something else at half the price
I'm baffled on how everyone is not talking about that smooth segue to silky smooth balls. The only other manscaped spot that beats this was when they had Yvonne do it on techlinked
@Om Patil i have the 15 inch version, and yes. Better than I would expect from a 5 GHz capable processor, on summer it's always warm/hot, and the fan is audible but not loud, in other seasons doing light work stays cold and the fans are at minimum, but it get hotter fast doing more heavy stuff. But is good to mention that is always really fast and responsive
What I don't like about hp laptops (apart from their Omen lineup) is that their function keys are standard on their special functionality and you need to hold down the FN key to use the normal f keys. It's really annoying. I like how the surface lineup handles it with the FN key working kind of like the caps lock or NUM lock
Right? if it came with a Ryzen 7 4800U or any ultrabook could be found with that processor and any efficient dGPU and decent screen for the same price they would dominate the market.
That was my first reaction as well, but check the video from "Just Josh". This laptop has great thermals and this i5 runs at boost speeds continuously, catching up with a typical i7 or even Ryzen 5.
You people never made a video about the Tuf A15 and I've had it since last year and you'd be surprised about what you can get for the price. It's quality, look and specs are awesome.
i have the hp envy x360, BTW tiping on her right now, i hated most of my laptop, but this one is the love of my life and i got this one cause my best buy never got a dell xps 15
Just wait for sale and be ready to grab it with i7 for around $1000. HP seems to have those quite often, yet I would still love to see AMD based machine, at least for envy lineup.
I got an envy 13 last year. It thermal throttled really bad until I reapplied the thermal paste. Hopefully this one doesn’t have that issue. Other than that 0 complaints about hps envy line. Highly recommend

* Relatively slim form-factor that I could actually put in my bag and use on-the-go. (Not super bulky or heavy like other competitors in this price range and screen size.)
* The 1650 Ti seems like an upgrade to medium/high gaming compared to light gaming with an Iris Xe integrated GPU. (Wins against most competitors in this price range.) This should carry me for a while before getting an eGPU when the current gen GPU stocking issues calm down, whenever that is.
* Port selection is above average compared to others in this size (or 13 inch). I was looking at some of the XPS options and the lack of even one USB-A is a deal-breaker.
* I wouldn't feel embarrassed when using this in a professional environment.
* The build quality has been reviewed pretty highly. The other laptop I was looking at is the Razer Book 13, but I've been assured that the build quality is not noticeably better there to justify the cost w/o a dedicated GPU. I'm still a little worried about whether the lid will have an overbite or underbite, but since I customized my config I won't know for a month if it's good.
* Great reviews about the screen. 400 nits seems like a pretty good sweet-spot for this category.
* 16:10 display ratio. I won't consider 16:9 for anything that I want to be able to use for productivity (web, photos, docs, coding, etc.)
* I don't want a touch laptop or 2-in-1 design (might as well get a separate Chromebook for that and Android apps), so I'm happy to save a few bucks here.
* I can still charge with USB-C, but of course because of the specs for USB-C I won't be able to deliver enough power when it's at full utilization. I'm not worried about this since I don't plan to game or compile with it on-the-go.
Now, some things I'm less stoked about:
* No Windows Hello. I haven't had this feature before, but at least it has a fingerprint reader, which I hope will make up for it.
* No expandable RAM. But I really don't see 16GB being much of a limitation for me anyway.
* Only one M.2 slot. I got the base 256GB drive, since even just upgrading to 512GB was a stupid price. Would have preferred two slots, but I'll take the hit for cost savings.
* I wish webcams would be better in 2021 all around. I don't really anticipate using it alot, but who knows what the next few years will bring?
* I've been totally f-ed before by Nvidia knowingly including faulty GPU packaging, so the laptops would overheat and damage other components.Taking a risk by giving them a chance here.
* Going to take a month to ship (I assume since I did a custom config to i7, 1650 Ti, 16GB RAM, matte non-touch screen, 256GB M.2.)
@@mlucproduction1239 I'm really happy with it. It took me few days to get back to you because I wanted to replace my 256GB base M.2 SSD with a 1TB upgrade I bought (SK hynix Gold P31, on sale thru Amazon for $114).
I can say the procedure went pretty smoothly once I realized that HP's own service manual was inaccurate about which screw driver was needed to remove the bottom panel. Search for HP's service video for accurate information (it's a Torx T5, BTW). It also gives the steps specifically for the M.2 replacement. If anyone is interested more about the software I had to use please let me know and I'll fill you in, don't want to spend too much time on this here. Anyway, I'm very happy I didn't spend the money on a higher capacity SSD from the factory.
I've found that doing some gaming with the 1650Ti has been pretty great. Haven't done a ton. Firewatch, Civ VI, Halo 1 MCC, CD:GO. So nothing TOO intense. Never felt like the Envy 14 was holding me back. The fans at full volume aren't that bad, definitely shouldn't be a problem with headphones on. So I have a pretty aggressive fan curve to keep everything cool in order to extend the life of my components (had bad luck with Nvidia cards breaking down in the past).
The port selection has been great, especially switching between my work computer and this one at my desk. I'm using a Targus dock that charges, drives 2 monitors, ethernet, and a TON of USB devices and it hasn't had a problem with the load.
Ok, so enough of the great stuff. I do have just one complaint, and it's pretty minor, and maybe something I can fix myself with some lube. When I open and close the laptop it sort of creaks? Instead of being totally smooth the hinges seem to have a little too much friction and makes an audible noise at the start of any movement. Once it gets going it's not a problem, but it does cheapen the whole experience slightly.
If you have specific questions about anything I mentioned above or anything I didn't then please shoot them at me and I'll be happy to answer them!
Wouldn’t the Spectre with its 3:2 aspect ratio have been more suitable for your needs?
@@TwistedSoul2002 Price and ports were the deciding factor against the Spectre if I remember right.

@@SilverScarletSpider not sure id go so far. its just that compared to you thinkpad guys or me with my 3kg rugged brick, they have a fairly milk toast view of what makes a good laptop, which they have to have because otherwise 90% of theyre unboxings or reviews would be useless because they'd make the same complaints every time. so to have a long term watchable video series on regular laptops you have to more or less like regular laptops. not even saying they have a different oppinion than they present, just that only people who have this kind of view of laptops can keep making laptop reviews.

When $1250 laptop is a budget option
When a budget hp laptop is more expensive than a decent macbook
@@agrisimfarming The 999 USD MacBook Air M1 is actually vastly more powerful and efficient than this HP. It's just the GPU. The HP has a ~15% faster GPU. But the MacBook has 15+ hours of battery and ~9+ hours when using it heavy with full load. MacBook has a much better display, touchpad and speakers too. It's even quieter. And above all, cheaper. I'd go for the MacBook since this HP has too little GPU power over the M1 and lacks a lot in CPU compared to the M1 MBA.

I’ve got a envy from 2017 and it’s still a beast for what most people need. Only thing I wish it has was usb c charging if the new one did I’d upgrade
A lot of these new premium intel ultrabooks now come with a bios and/or software setting to change them from "balanced" mode to "performance" mode. For example, new lenovo ultrabooks do this even directly via their "Lenovo Vantage" app on Windows 10. They come configured to "balanced" or "silent" mode by default. At this mode, the cpu never goes above 60-65ºC, and never fully turbo-boosts, to try and keep the pc cool to the touch and as silent as possible (work laptops). But if you change this to "Performance" the cpu can actually go up to 95-100ºC at max (it won't, but the BIOS will let the cpu boost as much as he want's up to that temperature instead of 65ºC) which makes the fan go much louder but also cool it better which leaves room for the intel cpu to turbo-boost a lot.
Source: I had in my hands a brand new Lenovo Thinkbook that done this. Got ~2100 at cinebench, but was unusually quiet and cool (exactly what he noticed with this laptop at 8:02) but after finding this option and switching it to performance mode, the fans ramp up at the score on cinebench got to ~4500 with an i7-10510U. The way this HP is keeping the fans quiet to the point that even he noticed it, just confirms that this laptop is in fact at some type of silent mode. I've seen HP also do this with their Envy and Spectre laptops.
I hope the LinusTechTips team learns this and stops trashing these laptops cpu performance just because they don't know they are in silent mode. Intel CPUs are bad, but not THAT bad...
EDIT: yes it's confirmed, HP does this too, and this video was 100% sure using the "Balanced" default mode. The app they use is HP Command Center. Go there and switch to performance mode. 😉
The problem with all laptops on the market: "Do you want thunderbolt or AMD?"
Yeah, that really sucks, i want both on my next laptop, but I don't know when that's going to happen
@@walkinmn May not be too much longer now. USB 4 is coming sooner than we think (my hope/guess is 2H 2021 initial rollouts, more to follow 1H 2022), and USB 4 will be able to include Thunderbolt without Intel's hardcore blessing or scrutiny AMD doesn't need on cutting-edge products. I'm totally in the same boat, but hoping I can plunk down my money for an AMD/TB system within a year from now at the latest. Not really looking to go the route of proprietary e-GPU setups like the Asus ultrabook we've seen on LTT recently, either. They're awesome, but prices are pretty crazy, and (worse still), they won't become a de-facto standard, so those systems will become obsolete sooner than something with normal TB in play.
You can put thunderbolt on an AMD motherboard.Most of the higher end Asrock motherboards have Thunderbolt.

@@robertp457 Right now, Thinkpad P14s.

Let’s be real here. All these 13-14 inch Intel Laptops are just a bad deal right now compared to the MacBook Air and AMD options.
Yes but think of these 2 things:
1. Not everyone wants to use Mac OS, maybe they like to game.
2. Supply of AMD laptops
My workplace bought a ton of hp laptops 2 years ago and we've had a lot of quality control issues. I don't have much trust in the brand now, but hopefully they got better.
I love the envy line for thin laptops, they have a good spec/price ratio and has good stuff where it matters like the screen, thunderbolt, etc. So yeah, good pick. My only problem is that right now amd offer considerably more for the money so if you can wait and hunt for something with it, I think it's worthy.
Also 1 complaint about the video us, why was Alex comparing a 14" laptop keyboard to a 15"? Maybe compare it to the razer or something else.
I really appreciate that you show the price tag early.
This does charge through Type-C port as well and you can use any Power Delivery Charger of 45W or higher. Not sure why most reviewers miss this with Laptops equipped with Thunderbolt 4 port as it is implemented over USB 4.0 standard and it's a mandate for USB 4.0 to support Power Delivery, not an optional feature like in USB 3.2 Type-C.
I have an HP Envy 14 with the i7 and 1 TB SSD, and I absolutely love it. It's such a great allrounder for music, web, graphics, the occasional game and even video editing on the go. I love the design, and the ports (no dongle madness there). I am even thinking about getting a second one (with lower specs), because when I travel I always like to have a spare laptop and power supply with me.
Do u still have it? I keep seeing bad reviews
Thanks for letting us know about the soldered RAM, but it would be nice to hear RAM options, ideally even the maximal RAM supported by the chipset.
The Envy 15 is pretty awesome imo, bigger screen is really cool
Looks like they took the MSI keyboard approach of adding a "sidebar" on the right for those navigation keys. Honestly, I like that approach - why not use the whole width of the chassis for dedicated navigation keys?
I currently use a MSI Prestige 15 2019, and it has del, ins, pgup, pgdn as its four "sidebar keys". I have to say, as a developer and server admin I really do appreciate them.

its so sad seeing people calling 2 USB ports and a thunderbolt "enough"
Not everyone uses all the ports all the time, and I think having less ports does drive the cost down. Whether you save any real money buying something with less ports idk for sure..

What I don't like about hp laptops (apart from their Omen lineup) is that their function keys are standard on their special functionality and you need to hold down the FN key to use the normal f keys.
