Great review as always. Regarding the Pen, that doesn't come with the $999 preconfigured model but with the $659-$699 model which can be configured to the same spec as the $999 model, but at $1029. Guess, HP is actually charging $30 for the pen.

Great video. I recently got this laptop and I am coming from a Dell G7 2018 gaming laptop mostly for college work purposes. I have to say, I really love what HP offers with this laptop. I finally got my first touchscreen and fingerprint scanner capable laptop with this one. I love it. I’m glad it’s very upgradeable like my G7.
Looks like they're not offering a SureView display option this year. That really stinks because it's the only way to get a silky smooth 120hz display on an ultrabook. Breaks my heart we're still doing 60hz in 2021.
excellent review , as usual, what I don't really understand is why HP decided to put the speakers facing the bottom and not the top (they had plenty of room for that , perhaps risk of getting dust and other stuff in there ?) , and I wish they would've made the display in mate and not be so reflective, well, overall, for the price, I think is worth and have one on order
The 2019 model I believe has 220 nit panel does that bother you at all? I’m looking at getting this model but with the 250 nits and I’m worried it’s not gonna be bright enough but I can’t find the 400 nit in Canada
@@Kenny_Edmonton HP sucks with offering choice for Canadian shoppers. I got a Lenovo Yoga 7i with a 500 nit Dolby vision screen. It's a pity cause I love the Envy line.
Excellent review with excellent information. But slow it down: you are speaking so fast that it can be hard to absorb all the good information you are providing. Just a friendly suggestion.
Thanks Lisa, a great review as always. Would you consider getting an HP Probook x360 435 g8? This is also a ryzen laptop with similar specs and price (obv with more security features on the probook). I'm keen to know about the difference in build quality, display quality for the 400nit panels, and speaker quality.
My question is about the problem with 360 2 in 1 convertibles in general. If using Photoshop or any software, after folding the keyboard back you loose shortcuts and hotkeys mostly. Do you have a touchscreen solution for this? (apps, extensions) Could you do a review or let me know? There is "Tablet Pro" and others is seen on RUclips that put a side bar of shortcuts on screen, but I haven't tried any of these yet. Hoping for a review. It would be smart if Microsoft addressed this. I enjoy your reviews always to the point and no gimmicks or bs thanks
I would be ready to complain about that 16:9 display if it weren't for the astounding price. It even looks great. Excellent deal, HP! Yay that! I think a 13"/14" version of this would be awesome.
Fantastic review! Would love to see your thoughts on the 5500u. The average person isn't buying this model and while it's great to see how powerful the 5700 is with 16 GB ram, HPs target audience isn't buying this $1,000 version when it starts at around less than $700. It's hard for an everyday consumer to make a judgment without a more realistic comparison. Just my two cents.
U think that would be good, I'm new to laptop world and planning to buy a laptop, Bestbuy has deal going for amd 5700u with 16gb ram, the only thing is it's brightness is 250 nits,
@@Punkbars I ended up customizing mine at HP's website. I consulted a lot of people before I bought and ended up with the 5500u (I'm not a gamer or content producer so the 5700u was a bit overkill for me), 16gb ram, and the 400 not screen. I am super happy with its performance so far. The 16 gigs of RAM really shows and it runs buttery smooth. If I had to do it again, I would not purchase the 5700u because I'm not actually utilizing that extra power so it's basically sitting idle (at least that's how it was been explained to me). You look at the screen every single time you use the computer though so 400 nits was important and I can definitely say I would not buy the 250 nit version. My only qualm would be the build quality. Personally the trackpad feels a bit cheap and while it's wrapped in metal, it's pretty thin metal compared to something like a MacBook pro which feels much more premium but that's also what you pay for.
Look... Since years I am a BIG Lenovo supporter of the Thinkpad series... But, again, I must admit HP is doing great products lately... Much more innovative and upgradables/fixeable than the latest Thinkpad at least.
I have 2 years old version and it is surprisingly good. One complain is only a battery life. So, this new one is certainly steal. Only make sure you get Windows 11 as only it will be available.
I have an older model HP envy and it's great on paper but it has some issues such as a mouse freeze quirk that even a full reinstall didn't fix, the rubber feet came off leaving sticky patches, it runs hot and noisy. So I'm torn, it provided a lot of tech for the money but I largely wished I had either a tablet or a desktop
Omg 😳 I’m from Canada but i live currently in Japan and today i was going to buy this laptop but i was so lucky to come accidentally to this video! 😮 i definitely decided not to buy it after i saw 250 comments from people that faced the same issue and had a nightmare with HP . The problem isn’t exclusive to this model only but a lot of other HP laptop models as well. I have friends who live in Europe who was unlucky to buy normal HP laptops ( not 2 in 1 / convertible) and had huge issues with them . Some of my friends ended up smashing their Hp laptop with anger 😢 Me myself is a regular user for Lenovo laptops . I owned lenovo 360 convertible since 2016 until 2023 and been closing and opening the hinges roughly on daily basis and nothing happened until now. But the only reason i wanted to switch to this HP model that they said it’s smaller and lighter than Lenovo ! But now i know it’s not worth it. I advise everyone to buy Thinkpad Lenovo convertibles as they’re really the toughest business laptops in the market. They’re even used on board of the space stations and the rough engineering environments. Avoid buying HP , DELL , Panasonic laptops at all costs.
I have a question, I saw mixed answers but another guy's review said there are NO front firing speakers. Is that true? I see there's the appearance of front firing speakers on the front along with the speaker's name. I've never seen vents disguised as speakers before and it wouldn't make sense for them to put fake speakers. I went to best buy to try out this laptop and it got really loud compared to all the other ultrabooks and i thought(think?) it is because of the front firing speakers. Online I saw some people saying they couldn't get those speakers to work, and wondered the same thing. I really like big clear sound on my laptops and I didn't want to get a macbook since I'm on a budget.
I'm having "choice paralysis" with pc's right now. I currently use a loud (fan), incredibly heavy desktop tower and an old HP laptop when portable. I've looked at mini pc's, but haven't figured out how to go mobile from things I'm working on at home seamlessly with a separate laptop. So, maybe it's best I get a good, updated laptop to plug into a hub stand and use it as my desktop unit, too? That said, I do some audio editing for voiceover work, I use Ps and Lr for my photography, I'm learning to be a software developer, I only do minecraft for "gaming", and will be dabbling in video editing for drone work. I tend to have multiple tabs open, and more than one program going at a time. For VO work, I need something pretty quiet, and when mobile, something that stays relatively cool, and is lightweight (4lbs or under) with a num pad and fingerprint reader or Windows Hello. (How does that work when closed and being used as a cpu?) Any recommendations below $1400 usd with a discrete gpu? Or does that exist in a thin, lightweight laptop?
I think some nice gaming laptop could work for you really well. The Legion laptops from Lenovo are priced really competetively for what they offer. Also there is this one 14 inch convertible laptop with 1660 gpu with asus proprietaly port for externat GPU. So you could have a powerful small laptop on the go and a dock with very powerful external gpu for it when stationary. I think that it is the Flow line of Asus laptops.
Hi, I bought this exact laptop and I tried to charge it through my phone's type C charger but I failed to see it charging or even the tiny light on the slot turning on. Can you please help regarding this issue?
Two things to consider: 1. Is thw type C port for Data ONLY or charging as well? 2. Is your Cell Type C charger AND TYPE C cable rates at 45W or higher? *Regular PD 20W chargers wont charge laptops.
Read too many complaints about HP laptop. One guy said his 2 and 1 when he flipped it into tablet mode it would go into sleep mode. The keyboard by default gets turned off. Even if he flipped it back into laptop mode it wouldn't respond. He would have to wait for the battery to drain and it shut down too use again. After reading that, you couldn't give me an HP.
Hello. Please mention suspend ability :) I have last year's enxy x360 13'' with a ryzen 4700U and it doesn't do S3 (suspend to RAM). The other defect (for me!) is that i didn't notice it lacked the Insert key... Not a deal breaker like the suspend inability but it's annoying. If you're not counting on suspend and having an Insert key I'd recommend it.
Overall, great laptop. I am on week 3 with mine. But... HP has crappy Linux support. Major issues with suspend and hibernate. HP dropped their ACPI S3 support which has allowed low power suspend. My other gripe which many others share - 720P camera?? Really?? I would have gladly paid the $10 extra for a decent camera. One last thing - Do not trust HP specs. They say many places that 16GB is max RAM. It is at least 32 GB which I can testify and as well as many others.
"I am on week 3 with mine. But... HP has crappy Linux support" Was the install process straightforward or painful? What issues apart from S3 did you encounter? Is touchscreen working under Linux?
I've had this laptop since it came out in early April. While it is a great machine, it does have a few quirks. A lot of bloatware. Get rid of it before using it, including Amazon Alexa, it's not needed or wanted. In the latest Windows upda there is a driver and BIOS update that has to be done for stability. The Radeon Vega 8 graphics are great for some games and YMMV with that. But I have the Ryzen 7 5700U version of this and it does quite well. Like I said, get rid of the bloatware first, it will be a less painful experience.
Honestly, this Envy x360 is the worst laptop i've had in all 7 of them. It is getting super hot while playing anything, even low spec games. Sometimes it is freezing for 1-2 sec and it gets back to normal afterwards. The cooler is SUPER noisy even while browsing, sometimes for no reason. And now, after ~8 months of usage, THE DISPLAY IS STARTING TO GET OUT OF IT'S "CASE" for some reason. Have to mention i don't even move him from the desk.
One of the first Lisa videos of a laptop that is actually something I'd eye for myself. Not to say I don't love her videos - I do. But normally they're fun because they are so niche. But this one I might actually get!!! I wonder if they have a non-365 version of this that bumps the specs for a similar price.
It's a good laptop, especially the Ryzen 7. However, I would advise against buying it. It has a recurring issue where the hinges become stiff and the screen pops out every 1 year, 6 months, or 2 years. You'll be left with the need to repair something that is completely unnecessary, with no warranty assistance. If possible, I recommend purchasing another laptop and having a Mac as a backup, as most of these laptops are not built to last. I apologize if you were excited about buying this laptop. I am currently using it and seeking help to fix an issue that is not my fault. Unfortunately, I find myself in this situation, but you have the opportunity to avoid this unnecessary problem.
@@pashtun-travels-uk it’s a cool laptop but the left bottom part always budges off after a few years leaving you to replace the back cover . Other than than it’s a great laptop.
I would like to know this too. No reviewer is talking about the 5500u but rather only the highest model of this laptop (16gb, 400nit screen etc) which is understandable because tech reviewers want the best of the best but not the most useful for everyday people.
I have a hp envy x360 13” from 2018 with a Ryzen 5 2500u and fusion 360 runs fine for basic projects. I am new to CAD, so I do not know how well it runs for larger projects.
HP has no 15 inch convertible with 16 GB RAM on sale in Canada, so i had to go with the Lenovo yoga 7i. Otherwise I love the design of the HP Envy. Lenovo has the number pad and the offset trackpad. I prefer having no number pad and a trackpad in the center like the Envy. Oh well HP has to start offering more choice to Canadians.
To people who buy 2in1 laptops: does the keyboard get dirty or scratched from being facedown when its in tablet mode? How do you protect your keyboard?
Depends on the convertible laptop. The good ones will have a design where keyboard is on the same level as the rest of the deck, and has tiny rubber feet on the keyboard deck and palmrest, that elevates the laptop and keeps it from sliding when in tablet mode. Bad ones will not have any of these features, so you gotta do your laptop research before buying. These details are hard to tell from by picture. So really the best thing is to take a day and visit a hardware shop, check out the laptop you want in person.
Quick Question ! Are the side speakers on each side of the keyboard fake on all of the models ? If so that stinks because it’s a huge turn off and renders it a piece of crap. There’s nothing worse than fake pieces if a produc
I just went with the Ryzen 6000-series Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU, the mo-bo takes DDR5 SDRAM boards. A different world. Good luck to to Intel processor and Apple folks.
Does the screen still scratch easily by simply writing on it? Got scratch in the older model with 2500u within a month use. And still no usb-c charging sigh - (this is false, corrected by Fauchon)
the biggest downside is the display's colour gamut being limited to that 100% SRGB colour space, which isn't terrible in my experience, but not "pro" grade performance, at least on my older 16gb ryzen 7 3700u model has been pretty fantastic, completed most of my architecture masters coursework on it, which covered a range of CAD, 3D modelling and photoshop tasks. (I also recommend Serif Affinity Photo if you want to save cash, it's amazing) The only thing In my experience that makes this laptop cry is 4K video editing.
Just few questions 1. Why Do the laptop come with smaller up/down arrows? The legendary thinkpad have given the proper keys for up/dowbn arrows. The normal people migh not feel the pain but as a developer it really annoying navigating code editors. 2. Anyone tell me the value of the laptop doing yoga pose folding to back side does it make any million dollar business? 3. When recemt version HP laptop boot it says "HP sure start" the company is making fun here.
This is my first Laptop in 10yrs. Does anyone adjust / change any setting to wherever they get a new laptop??? To make it perform better?? Like when I buy a new phone I change settings on lots of things. Thanks for the tips in advance

Read too many complaints about HP laptop. One guy said his 2 and 1 when he flipped it into tablet mode it would go into sleep mode. The keyboard by default gets turned off. Even if he flipped it back into laptop mode it wouldn't respond. He would have to wait for the battery to drain and it shut down too use again. After reading that, you couldn't give me an HP.
the screen is of medium quality and very weak in brightness. Power is not via type-c and this is in 2021... good luck with your sales.
It supports USB-C charging. I assume they provide the barrel pin charger to free up the sole USB-C port for other uses like hubs and monitors.
You can upgrade to a 4K 500nit display on this laptop..... If you don't like the base model
Hello. Please mention suspend ability :)
I have last year's enxy x360 13'' with a ryzen 4700U and it doesn't do S3 (suspend to RAM).
The other defect (for me!) is that i didn't notice it lacked the Insert key... Not a deal breaker like the suspend inability but it's annoying. If you're not counting on suspend and having an Insert key I'd recommend it.
Overall, great laptop. I am on week 3 with mine. But... HP has crappy Linux support. Major issues with suspend and hibernate. HP dropped their ACPI S3 support which has allowed low power suspend. My other gripe which many others share - 720P camera?? Really?? I would have gladly paid the $10 extra for a decent camera. One last thing - Do not trust HP specs. They say many places that 16GB is max RAM. It is at least 32 GB which I can testify and as well as many others.
"I am on week 3 with mine. But... HP has crappy Linux support"
Was the install process straightforward or painful? What issues apart from S3 did you encounter? Is touchscreen working under Linux?
my 2018 envy x360t 15 has a windows hello camera. I guess not a lot of people use it.
looking forward to surface laptop 4 review!?
I’m sorry but the message on your shirt catch at first my attention!
👍👍
what pen are you using? What pens are compatible for this laptop?
I've had this laptop since it came out in early April. While it is a great machine, it does have a few quirks. A lot of bloatware. Get rid of it before using it, including Amazon Alexa, it's not needed or wanted. In the latest Windows upda there is a driver and BIOS update that has to be done for stability. The Radeon Vega 8 graphics are great for some games and YMMV with that. But I have the Ryzen 7 5700U version of this and it does quite well.
Like I said, get rid of the bloatware first, it will be a less painful experience.
Could you provide some information about the heat? Does it often run hot?
Is Ryzen better from Intel?
any idea if there will be a refresh of the 13" version?
Honestly, this Envy x360 is the worst laptop i've had in all 7 of them.
It is getting super hot while playing anything, even low spec games.
Sometimes it is freezing for 1-2 sec and it gets back to normal afterwards.
The cooler is SUPER noisy even while browsing, sometimes for no reason.
And now, after ~8 months of usage, THE DISPLAY IS STARTING TO GET OUT OF IT'S "CASE" for some reason. Have to mention i don't even move him from the desk.
So which notebooks have wacom screens and good pens? Any these days?
This model good enough for adobe lightroom photo editing at just 8GB RAM?
I love what the envy brand has become
would this work okay with a drawing tablet? quality wise?
Question, is the pen digitizer the same as the one in the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360?
And its "Out of Stock". Why HP and other major laptop manufacturers are still building laptops based on Intel CPUs?
hey can i edit videos on premiere pro and play some games on it???
Any troubleshooting sites?
My Envy 360 stops working and then won't restart?
I have this computer, and it is not sturdy. The screen is popping out on the right bottom side. The shop wanted 200 dollars to repair it.
Title said it is 15 inch while in battery, it is said for 13 inch.
One of the first Lisa videos of a laptop that is actually something I'd eye for myself. Not to say I don't love her videos - I do. But normally they're fun because they are so niche. But this one I might actually get!!! I wonder if they have a non-365 version of this that bumps the specs for a similar price.
It's a good laptop, especially the Ryzen 7. However, I would advise against buying it. It has a recurring issue where the hinges become stiff and the screen pops out every 1 year, 6 months, or 2 years. You'll be left with the need to repair something that is completely unnecessary, with no warranty assistance. If possible, I recommend purchasing another laptop and having a Mac as a backup, as most of these laptops are not built to last. I apologize if you were excited about buying this laptop. I am currently using it and seeking help to fix an issue that is not my fault. Unfortunately, I find myself in this situation, but you have the opportunity to avoid this unnecessary problem.
I am stuck between this one ryzen 5 or 7 and dell latitude 9410? Hp is beautiful and dell is not. Thats what is holding me!!
@@pashtun-travels-uk it’s a cool laptop but the left bottom part always budges off after a few years leaving you to replace the back cover . Other than than it’s a great laptop.
She does a great review
This or IdeaPad 5 flex?
THE SQUIRREL IS SO CUTE
I recently bought the intel 15t-es100 and wanted to know how much better it is than the ryzen hp 15 model pc which is in this vedio..?
Upgradeable RAM is HUGE!
How is the Envy X360 with the ryzen 5 5500u with CAD programs? I would like to run SolidWorks and fusion 360 on this machine.
I would like to know this too. No reviewer is talking about the 5500u but rather only the highest model of this laptop (16gb, 400nit screen etc) which is understandable because tech reviewers want the best of the best but not the most useful for everyday people.
I have a hp envy x360 13” from 2018 with a Ryzen 5 2500u and fusion 360 runs fine for basic projects. I am new to CAD, so I do not know how well it runs for larger projects.
HP has no 15 inch convertible with 16 GB RAM on sale in Canada, so i had to go with the Lenovo yoga 7i. Otherwise I love the design of the HP Envy. Lenovo has the number pad and the offset trackpad. I prefer having no number pad and a trackpad in the center like the Envy. Oh well HP has to start offering more choice to Canadians.
would you pick intell or rysen?
Which better with Ryzen or Intel?
To people who buy 2in1 laptops: does the keyboard get dirty or scratched from being facedown when its in tablet mode? How do you protect your keyboard?
Depends on the convertible laptop. The good ones will have a design where keyboard is on the same level as the rest of the deck, and has tiny rubber feet on the keyboard deck and palmrest, that elevates the laptop and keeps it from sliding when in tablet mode. Bad ones will not have any of these features, so you gotta do your laptop research before buying. These details are hard to tell from by picture. So really the best thing is to take a day and visit a hardware shop, check out the laptop you want in person.
Will you review Acer Swift 316 H series processor laptop?
Quick Question ! Are the side speakers on each side of the keyboard fake on all of the models ? If so that stinks because it’s a huge turn off and renders it a piece of crap. There’s nothing worse than fake pieces if a produc
please do a video for the lenovo 9i 14 inch
also can u do a comparison between hp envy ryzen 7 vs lenovo 9i intel i7
Thank you,
Very nice
can you charge it via type C?
why apple has thunderbolt with their own properitary M1?
I just went with the Ryzen 6000-series Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU, the mo-bo takes DDR5 SDRAM boards. A different world. Good luck to to Intel processor and Apple folks.
Does the screen still scratch easily by simply writing on it? Got scratch in the older model with 2500u within a month use. And still no usb-c charging sigh - (this is false, corrected by Fauchon)
It does have usb c charging
@@alexandrefauchon7755 Good. Thanks for the correction.
My wife loves this laptop
Nice sharing watching from italy stay connected
This would be great if it had a monster battery.
Pcie version?
I had this laptop a couple weeks ago...it had a dead pixel right out of the box. I wouldn't recommend. Also, the 250 nits version is too dim.
Yay that!
Does anyone know how this hp does with photo editing/graphics
the biggest downside is the display's colour gamut being limited to that 100% SRGB colour space, which isn't terrible in my experience, but not "pro" grade
performance, at least on my older 16gb ryzen 7 3700u model has been pretty fantastic, completed most of my architecture masters coursework on it, which covered a range of CAD, 3D modelling and photoshop tasks. (I also recommend Serif Affinity Photo if you want to save cash, it's amazing)
The only thing In my experience that makes this laptop cry is 4K video editing.
@@nattieCSH thanks for replying.Great appreciate it. Still deciding between this hp an the spectre.
Just few questions
1. Why Do the laptop come with smaller up/down arrows? The legendary thinkpad have given the proper keys for up/dowbn arrows. The normal people migh not feel the pain but as a developer it really annoying navigating code editors.
2. Anyone tell me the value of the laptop doing yoga pose folding to back side does it make any million dollar business?
3. When recemt version HP laptop boot it says "HP sure start" the company is making fun here.
better with 16:10 or 3:2 aspect ratio
This is my first Laptop in 10yrs. Does anyone adjust / change any setting to wherever they get a new laptop??? To make it perform better?? Like when I buy a new phone I change settings on lots of things. Thanks for the tips in advance
I like your shirt!
