With a big OLED screen, but low resolution, this HP 2-in-1 is an odd duck MSRP $900.00 Score Details “The HP Envy x360 15.6 is just fast enough, but it doesn't stand out.” Pros Cons At one time, a number of manufacturers were releasing 15-inch, 360-degree, convertible 2-in-1 laptops. That trend seems to be waning, but HP remains a holdout with its latest Envy x360 15.6.
That places the Envy x360 15.6 at the top end of budget territory and the beginning of the midrange. As we’ll see, this laptop’s overall design may not represent the best value, unless you can grab the review unit on sale at $850. Aesthetically, the Envy x360 15.6 is no different than most laptops today. It has simple lines and no bling, making it a minimalist design that’s attractive but doesn’t attract attention. You can get it in either Natural Silver or Nightfall Black .
Enough performance for productivity, but that’s it You can choose a Ryzen 5 7530U or a Ryzen 7 7730U with the AMD version of the Envy x360 15.6. The Ryzen 5 is a low-power 15-watt CPU with six cores and 12 threads running at up to 4.5GHz. The Ryzen 7 is also a 15-watt processor but has eight cores and 16 threads running at the same speed. Both come with just integrated Radeon graphics. Choose the Intel version, and you get either a Core i5-1335U or Core i7-1355U, both low-power versions.
You’ll unlikely get an entire day’s work on a charge, at least with a meaningful productivity workflow, but those aren’t bad results. The low resolution of the OLED display and AMD’s efficiency help counterbalance the small battery.
