Great review as usual. I appreciate the depth of your understanding and clear explanations. I feel smarter after watching one of your reviews!
Here for the Tshirt since the PC is out of my league.
Thanks for the review ❤️
And i really appreciate the depth of the information and the explaining .
You have a really deep knowledge, great review .
A mid-spec HP Envy will last a really long time. I've got one that's my beater that's still going strong after 7 years of abuse.
Waited for your review for like ever
Great video review, thank you ❤️😌
thank you for a great review! does it support stylus pens?
Should I get the HP Spectre 14 or the HP Envy 14?
I've got the HP Envy 13 Intel core i7 6th Gen (2016). Do you think I should upgrade to this?
Great review as usual Lisa, thank you. I hope you'll take a look at the new LG Gram lineup for us soon. Tryna make my mind up between a few ultrabooks.
pretty solid 14" laptop. does it support a pen?
Can you please do a review of the Thinkpad T14 AMD version ! Thank you
Very nice one... super like the cooling system for this small laptop.... impressive !
Great review! Love your videos.
Can this be charged via USB-C, i don't think it was mentioned in the review.
Nice reveiw. Why don't you review the hp zbook lineup?
Great in-depth review.
Is it possible to switch the internal laptop screen to be run by dGPU instead of intel integrated graphics? I know that on some HP gaming laptops it is possible. Very important for me.
i thought my nose was reflecting on the phone screen when i got it was yours on the laptop lol. it is surely reflective.
Thank you Lisa for another kick ass review. Will you and your team be doing some camera reviews? I think it would be great to hear your view on some of the latest camera gear since you love photography. Your detailed reviews are always great to watch and I always get great information about a product.
I'd love to review cameras again, and might do so in the future. But wow, they take so much time to review-- 2 weeks of testing at the minimum.
@@mobiletechreview Very true. I am a music photographer and we will sometimes get gear to test and see how it handles in the pit. You can't really learn the ins and outs of a camera in one day for sure. Well I hope you are able to in the future. Thanks for the great videos as always.
This. Too many camera reviewers are just lazy fanboys. LG would handle it.
Can i ask you a question ?
Asus zenbook vs hp envy
Which is more durable and with less hardware and software problems
I need help with buying a new laptop. I purchased a HP that had audio issues. I want a really excellent graphics screen, great sound, for watching TH-cam etc. Not a high end gamer. Plenty of storage. In Australia prices are inflated like crazy. Can you recommend any brands?
is it common to have creaky hinges?
does it support battery charge limiter or not !? because i use my laptop plugged in to the adaptor most of the times and it's a very important feature me.
Why is it almost impossible to get a HP Envy 17inc and top specs
Please help. Does this laptop HP ENVY 14 heats up on left side? Mine one (with core i7) heats only on left side and is cool on right side.
how well will it handle photo editing?
Hi Lisa, I have the HP Envyx360 2- in 1 of 14. I was testing the battery and I have noticed that in a best performace it lasts me 3 hrs and 4 hrs in saving mode. Is this normal? It has 5 days of use. I ran the HP test and it tells me that the performance is ok but it seems to me super little even compared to average laptops. At most I used powerpoint, canva, whatsapp and excel.
did I get it right: it tops at 16 gb of RAM?
have that notebook a backlight on the keyboard?
Is the ram and rom upgradable of this?
display brightness is dim? only 300 nits?
This laptop or the lenovo ideapad 5 pro 14?
I wish HP's UK website let you configure laptops. We only get to select from what they have premade in stock.
👀 Nice product. I enjoyed your coverage. Blessings on your day 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm so glad this has an affordable Touch Screen option, unlike many other laptops in this market class.
I know I'm in the minority here, but Touch is something I use every day, and can't live without on any PC. I'm using an HP exactly only because it has a high-resolution touchscreen. Can never go back to a dull 1080p non-touch.
And it should be on any screen without having to order it separately, it's 2021 dammit.
Oh wow I specially searched a lot of websites of different laptop companies just to get rid of the touchscreen
Nice design... usable performance.
Why there's no envy 15 in 2021?
When is the 17th inch version of the 2021 HP will be released?
I am waiting for the 15" version :)
Ahhh... I hate silver keys with white letters. So hard to see in some lighting conditions.
Love the design of this. To rich for my blood at the moment. Love the shirt
Hi Lisa!
Would you say the machine would be able to do some medium cad work (autodesk revit) with that graphics card?
Great informative video!
Yes, the GTX 1650 Ti MQ should be fine for that.
Why not consider Envy 15 with RTX 2060?
Thanks for you reply! Im looking for a 14” machine since I’m traveling with it a lot. I have rwo monitors hooked up at home so screen size is no issue there. Just the compactness is a big deciding factor rightnow
@@BraiNCollecter Asus G14?(I was considering this but changed to Envy at the last moment)
@@arshadm1693 so, did you get it? How is the device? Is it hot or the fan noise high in day to day task?
Omg for a second I had a heart attack though it was the dell 2 in 1. I'm so obsessed with the 17 inch version. I think I'm going blind so I need a huge screen
Almost where I'd want a thin & light to be. One more generation when we can get a little bit better performance with an integrated GPU and a little bit better performance on thunderbolt/usb4 and you could use something like this with an egpu with an external monitor.
Is the Envy treated like a business machine where it receives significant driver support, or is it a premium consumer unit?
Consumer. Business is pro and elitebook
Drivers are rarely an issue with modern consumer laptops, thanks to Windows 10's good update delivery.
Looks good.
Is it necessary to upgrade from a 6th Gen i7 to an 11th Gen i7?
Not really
I am selling mine for 799 have barely used it. it is still under warranty. it is a great laptop I just can't live without a numbers pad.
Says 1650 with 4 gb vram on the website
Why the gray keys with the light gray lettering ? UGH.
Exactly. It’s hard to see if you have the backlight on during the day (which I usually like as on most laptop with dark keys, it adds extra visibility)
@@User-cb4jm Dark keys with white lettering should be the norm, especially when for using it during the day.
As far as the battery is concerned who would want to set brightess at 200 nits which is pretty dark
This laptop will be overkill for some working 90% office and doing light gaming ( fortine, Football Manager,etc)?
Yep
@@James-mp7lp What will be a good laptop for that use?
The video literally tells you that the laptop can handle fortnite... 1650 Max-Q is a bare minimum for that game.
@@magnat7 I have the version that has a rtx 2060 so I can do pretty much anything on it. But the version with the 1650 wouldn’t be suitable for heavy gaming but everything else is ok
@@magnat7 hp envy 15
Not a fan of the keyboard. Too hard to see the lettering on the keys with that color combination. I appreciate the 16:10 aspect ratio.
Probably my only complaint are the fans. I have the 15 inch model. They randomly go crazy over light work. And the reflective screen isn’t great either. Other then that I can’t complain much.
Doesn't it have anti-glare screen because this Envy 14 does come with one
@@cloud_1216 it does. But due to it being a touch screen they still tend to be a bit more glossy than non touch screen laptops.
Lisa, do you recommend the Spectre x360?
In general, yes.
@@mobiletechreview Should we go with the HP Envy 14 or the Spectre 14?
@@doublej5045 I think the decision making is obvious. Graphics? Envy. Convertible 2-in-1? Spectre.
@@mini9503 Its not obvious. I like the Spectre's styling but I don't really need a 2 in 1 or a touchscreen.
@@doublej5045 You gotta narrow down your choices from Specs - CPU, GPU - 1st, Form Factor - 2-in-1, clamshell, tablet - 2nd, Price Point 3rd, Brand 4th, and Top Picks 5th.
If you don't need 2-in-1, you should look at regular clamshell ultrabooks. They will have the advantage of being slightly lighter, longer lasting, and much cheaper. Personally I'd get the 13" MacBook Air if I didn't need a 2-in-1.
If you're just picking by design, then ignore the above and just go for one of the Spectres.
Waiting on the 14" MacBook pro. Its gonna be a beast in every way!
Love HP Envy laptops they are so beautiful and very good ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍
Nice that they managed to stay away from turning it into a spaceship like the gaudy Spectre. Of course, it's an instant no-buy due to CPU choice. Excited to see what they come up with when it comes to the next EliteBook 1030 x360, though. That one should also offer a non-glare screen.
Windows ultraportable laptops don't make sense post Apple M1 base model Macbook Air. I now prefer to use a Thunderbolt Dock when on a desk or a small dongle when on the move. I most buy USB-C devices so I'm slowly getting rid of the dongles. I however can't imagine using my laptop with everything plugged to its own port on the laptop. Having just one cable to my laptop is just tidier. I feel like the whole argument of number of ports is not valid. Most times I use my laptop with nothing plugged to it so that I can be more mobile.
A really good review overall, but i just got mine and contrary to what was said the envy has a lot of creaking and i have to be careful how i hold it not to break something (already, ive had a few incidences where i hear a very loud crack , even though i see nothing visibly wrong). As a student, this is a huge issue to constantly be concerned about the built quality while on the go. Not to mention, its not really the most portable machine at 3.3lb. i live in Canada so i thought maybe my model is different but i highly doubt it. On the other hand, its amazing and beautiful as a desktop laptop and in just general when its stationary, no complaints there
Students used to carry Dell laptops. What happened?
Compare it to the new MacBook Pro 14?
Send her an MBP 14 for comparison if you have one.
When it exists? As it doesn’t right now.
this thing with ryzen 5000 would be a blast...
but also not available for like 1 year
so sad :(
btw the i5 version actually is more potent than the i7 version
Where are the Ryzen ultrabooks?! x_x
Need the review of Hp pavilion 14
I wish they made a black edition Envy, like they use to do back in the day.
the dark envy's have the AMD cpu.... but they're brownish instead of black.
@@weekendpartier I want a stronger processor - I want this version in black
@@doublej5045 I'm upset with HP. I'M THINKING of cancelling my order and going to Best Buy
@@weekendpartier What happened?
@@doublej5045 i ordered my hp envy online jan 14 2021. I'm still waiting! I customized a bit but they have component shortages in China!!!!
i love my envy!
Great review as usual. I disagree about the more outlandish designs like the diamond-cut, etc. I think the Spectres are aging just fine personally!
Hi Lisa, Looks like a nice Laptop
Looking for reviews of affordable laptops.
You should put some Linux Review. It gives a nice estimate hectic its to install Linux and driver support out of the box
She's Amazing :D
Finally!
i'm waiting this Envy to be reviewed here than after that i make my final decision
What's your decision?
This is the review.
wow 1650ti video on this? nice... i hope its not limited in powers.
HP Envy is a very good laptop , I used to only upgrade every other release until I got a MacBook Pro now windows feels old and dated to me , but The newer OLeD laptops got my attention.
Funny, I think ios is stuck in the 90s.
@@DD-d6d3 Good thing iOS is completely unrelated to anything even remotely connected to notebooks then.
My Envy 13 broke down in less than a year and the whole motherboard has to be replaced. No more HP, please.
Lisa-Intel CPU
Me-Next
11 inch is portable. Anything bigger is too heavy.
HP is really upping their game.
It's rather disappointing that 13-14inch laptops still don't come with 32GB RAM as an option. On top of the web browsers, a lot of productive software are becoming more and more memory hungry these days, and 16GB is often not enough for serious use cases.
I wish they made the envy more premium like the dell.CNC machined aluminium unibody,Diamond cut edges,micro thin bezels,brighter ,color better screen,better speakers.Hp spectres design is just too much flashy and a eyesore
Compaq would still be in business if they had a poor urban cat themed T-shirt promotion.
Lisa you doing grerat reviews.
for the homies!
I ORDERED MY HP ENVY 15 IN JAN 2021, AND WAS TOLD DUE TO MANF DELAYS i WON'T BE GETTING MY HP ENVY UNTIL APRIL!!!! i COULDA WENT TO BEST BUY!!! THANKS HP!
Why, why? I can't stand silver keys.
The real problem is the choice to use a white backlight with those silver keys. It’s useless. I have a Spectre x360 with the damn things that’s great otherwise.
Yeah, not a fan. My spouse's old keyboard had this "feature" and it sucked.
@@CantankerousDave Exactly. Unlike MacBooks, Windows 10 laptops don’t switch the backlight off and on automatically. Either way I like having the backlight on all the time regardless of the laptop for extra visibility, and on this laptop having the backlight on makes it even harder to see during the day.
who cares about the display not going bac far enough who uses a display tilted like that, for what reason? My macbook pro does not go that far back but I just realized it because I had no reason to use it like that
What's wrong with oems... How can they use Intel for ultra books.... Makes no sense at all... Intel is power hog with its 14++++++++++.. Ryzen is extremely powerful and power efficient that's perfect for ultrabooks... Am I going crazy or there's something else going on here 😳
supply shortages
On top of AMD having a much smaller scale of production than Intel, there is this ongoing major issue called *GlOBAL CHIP SHORTAGE.* Maybe you heard of it.
@@mini9503 yeah I don't think amd can provide as many chips as intel just now
SO I got my 15" Envy.... yeah, they don't tell you that MICROSUCK bitlocks the SSD, and codes it so that it's difficult to install Linux on it! Ridiculous. Secure Boot and UEFI suck!
Please I will a laptop

1st
That screen is suuuuper disappointing.
And here we go again. High end product, great build quality, great everything, except no AMD... Equals trash for me. Don't know how long we have to wait for manufacturers to start including AMD in their top lineups.
The (Not Bad) in the beginning turned me off before even watching the rest of the video hhhhh
Why on earth they do such a keyboard!! In terms of letter visibility! And they are daring still to not give a black-color variant!! 13 inch one has a black variant. Possibly the 15inch as well👎
they should fire their design team, like wtf is this keyboard
@@ezmod0 I would have understood a cut short in specs to keep it within the budget range. But I don't know if cutting short a color variant saves anything!! If at all they should consider cutting short this silver variant.
Holy sh__ power button is designed by a stoned person obviously. Secondly ma'am in long run hps battery performance degrade at a very fast rate. I am experiencing this problem
HP marketing is good but products are suck.
wow so expensive :/
That's a seriously bad keyboard... The power button is just at the wrong place... I was hoping envy would really make me envy to purchase this laptop.
