The Envy X360 boasts a robust design that has remained unchanged for two years, proving its durability even under heavy use. However, accessing its internals can be a bit complicated. Its performance, driven by the Ryzen 7 7730U, has seen only marginal improvements since the previous iteration, especially in Photoshop benchmarks. Opting for the i7-1355U might be a smarter choice if you need better performance.
The laptop's display offers accurate color representation, making it an excellent choice for creative professionals on a budget. Its battery life is impressive, providing around 10 hours of streaming and solid performance in various scenarios. The trackpad is spacious and responsive, and the audio quality is surprisingly good despite the speakers not being where they appear. The pen touch sensitivity is on point, making it a valuable tool for creative tasks.
In conclusion, the HP Envy X360 combines a sturdy build, color-accurate display, and decent performance, making it a solid choice for a wide range of users. While it may not be the fastest laptop in its category, its reliability and versatility are standout features.

i have a 2018 Spectre X 360 and i ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Used it all 4 years throughout college and it never let me down. It’s a just a little bit outdated now so I just picked up the Envy x 360. Looking forward to it
Well, there wasn't much complaint coming from people using the Spectre series. The complaints were mostly from people who had the Envy x360
Same but I had an envy 2018 and now it’s lagging
Got the 32GB and 1TB knowing i could not upgrade. Not a heavy user so not worried about having to to do so.
Love the channel, the insights and opinions have been very useful. I'm interested in your thoughts on the ASUS Flow X16 being a 2 in 1 have you checked it out yet? Do you think it will be getting an AMD version?
Would you be up for reviewing the Flow X16 on your channel? and how it compares. I trust your opinions and think your viewers would appreciate your take.
keep up the great work!
I have this laptop (2022 model) and not very happy with the build quality. The aluminium panels are really thin and it already detached in one place from the underlying thin plastic. The hinges also lost some stiffness.
7730u is actaully a 5825u rebrand. 7840u is zen4 and very fast, but barely any avaiblilty.
⚠HEADS UP⚠
The HP ENVY X360, Pavillion X360 and Spectre X360 are all known for having chronic hinge failure.
I can personally attest to this as I just replaced the lid on my 2020 ENVY X360 model. This repair was about 60 dollars and not bad for someone confident with technology. Just be advised BEFORE purchase that this is a known issue and there is a class action lawsuit against HP for this.
Would I recommend? The wild thing is, I still really like my laptop. Even if HP did manufacture the hinge solution poorly, the value for the $800 price tag I paid is actually quite astounding.
TLDR: Hinge known to break but still not a horrible option for the price.
hey i have an envy what can I do to protect it from being damaged due to the hinge issue?
@@uneebkhan7451 I would just be gentle with it and be sure to open from the top middle portion (around the webcam). Try to be extra careful to protect it from drops and impacts as well as quick jerks when opening/closing.
Hope this helps!
Hey, which could be better Hp envy 360, spectre 360 or asus Zenbook flip oled?
I need the latest laptop. Purpose being office use.
Can you suggest me???
i am planing to get one, should i got for this one or rog flow 16 ?
Wait, you mean to tell me the 2023 Hp Envy 15 had soldered on RAM?! When did they make that change? The 15 inch Envy line always had upgradeable RAM and i loved these laptops for it...
yeah i have the 2020 and went to by my GF the newest one and when we saw that it was soldered RAM we had to pivot to something else.
I'm looking to purchase this laptop for editing photos, and I have the option of getting the ryzen 5 or ryzen 7. Is the ryzen 7 worth the extra cost?
WHAT PEN DID YOU BUY? 🙏🏾 what model, SKU, everything! ISO a solid pen for my HP-x360 14’!!!!! HELP!!!
I confirm. My 2020 hp envy is indestructible
Don’t bend it, my hindge broke like 12 minutes ago
Hinge on mine broke after 2 months of barely using it! And hp refused warranty repair and they want 450€ to repair it! Guess you are lucky
@@Baboriks did you have the habit of opening the laptop from the sides. Im planning on buying envy x360, would be greatful if you could guide me to some extent
Have had mine for no problems as well! Only problem is that I spilled a lot of water on it and now it runs slow
@@Baborikswhat's the model and serial number?
My HP Envy i7 from 10 years ago was pretty much dead barely 5 years later. Takes half an hour to boot up even after I uninstalled virtually everything. Had been dropped only once about a year prior. First to go was the branded speakers. Haven't even removed the plastic touchscreen protector yet. Unimpressed.
the hinges on my mine just BROKE OFF IT'S BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR????
are you sure about the top 'speaker grills' other reviews i have seen say that they are speakers?
They're not speakers but sound from the speakers can pass through them, making them act like speakers.
finally hp products with proper hinges lol
Can anyone tell me about the hinge durability?
I have a 2020 ENVY X360 15 inch and the hinge just broke last week. (technically its not the hinge that broke its actually the plastic that the inside of the lid is made out of that failed) It was a 60 dollar at home fix. Annoying but not terrible if you are familiar with technology like me. I still quite like the laptop but I am disappointed with the hinge issue.
@@joeschratz9360 did you replace the plastic with metal? Was it just one hinge?
@@fahimfaisal5576 I had to replace the whole lid. Since the lid is only metal on the outside, the plastic on the inside fails. If you look up videos you will be better able to understand what happens. The plastic that the metal hinge is screwed into broke away, leaving the hinge useless as it is no longer joined on that side. You must remove the display and switch everything over to a new lid to fix the issue.
It was only one side and in my case, it did not damage any other components nor detach from the base of the laptop. In extreme cases, people have had their display shatter as a result.
i have a 2018 Spectre X 360 and the hinges are still fine. I don’t flip the screen around that often (maybe 20/30 times through 4 years.
It’s 60 or 120 Herz display?
60
Won't recommend it to anyone. I have the 2021 model and i used it like a baby. After two years, the right hinge broke akong with the screen. It has a lot of build quality issues as the problem was pretty common with other users of the same model
Hi! Guys i want to upgrade my laptop, so i want to nkow your opinion about this laptop? Asus Zenbook Pro 16 CPU Intel i7-12650H, DialPad, gráficos NVidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, 32 GB de RAM.
Model UX6601ZW-DB76. Its for autodesk programs, like civil3d.
Thanks.
5 year old kids don’t need laptops for schooling. I think that’s ridiculous that you said that
Depends. Some children do cyber school/homeschooling and it requires a computer/laptop.
I mean maybe in the old days but nowadays you do need a laptop for schooling. My school district uses iPads but nonetheless most districts use Chromebook laptops or something of some sort
@@zentono8932 I know. I just finished highschool and I needed a Chromebook for everything. He said his kid was 5. It’s ridiculous for him to have a windows pc for school. I can see him needing a tablet or iPad though. A windows pc is way to complex and it’s just overkill for anything a 5 year old would need to do
When I was in kindergarten my schooling was fingerpaint, coloring in the lines, tracing letters, learning to write my name etc.
I have newest version of this laptop and it’s not fit for a 5 year old. It’s full aluminum and it’s huge. Giant display that could easily crack by the careless hands of a child.
I don’t care what anyone says. Giving a 5 year old a 1400ish dollar laptop is ridiculous.
I think a tablet is a reasonable option for a 5 year old. A kindergartener does not need anything more than that. I don’t even think they should need a tablet for school.
I will say this again, a FIVE year old does not need a windows laptop for school. It’s overkill. Period and end of story.
@devonlangeofficial7305 My nephew had to do cyber school for kindergarten during covid ; he had to use my MIL laptop to do his school work. He couldn't use a tablet. Every district/school has different requirements. I agree that in many cases, kids that young shouldn't have a laptop or even a tablet, but if it is required for school, then you can't do much about it.
His 5 year old has a HP envy !! Ohhh the envy.. 😂
HP = Hinge Problem
Bruh, why'd anyone get their 5yr old an expenisve laptop like that?
Sure you could say longevity, but they sure as hell aint gonna be using photoshop or something at that age. An i3 or the same ryzen equivalent would have sufficed, with at the maximum, 8gb ram with upgrable ram in the future. If build quality is another point to consider then perhaps dont give a 5yr old their own laptop. They aint gonna be doing conference calls with Tim Cook or something. They really don't need to have a laptop at that age for anything. At the bare minimum, a used iPad or something when they're like 9-10 yrs is more than enough. I ain't tryna give parental advice to anyone here. But I am confident that no 5yr old should have their own piece of tech at that age.
I mean a 2021 you can get for close to an ipads price, and schools tend to need windows for online school. Also he has the 2023, so he obviously upgraded and likely had it extra
@@Sarcov443 Isn't covid over?
And what school has online stuff for 5yr olds these days? The kid really doesnt have a need for a laptop or an Ipad at that age. Hell I got my first laptop only cuz I had a genuine need for it in college.
Watch its motherboard die within 4 years.
From my experience on desktop computers of different brands, all video cards mostly graphics memory, died within ~3.5-4 years.
@@az9az9az9 Really?
So you saying I'd be paying 500-800$ just for the damn thing to die after 4 fricking years?
@@McnugGetsomebicthes Probably yes, if it can't be repaired. Or is the repair gonna be practical for a outdated device if technician charges 25-50% from original selling price.
My aspire 5 died in exactly 5 years
Tough? My screen blew out the first day I had it. If you place anything on the top of the laptop when closed its easy to damage the screen. Pathetic machine and I'll NEVER use HP again.\
