- Review of the HP Envy 15. This laptop comes fully loaded with a 4K OLED Display, RTX 2060 MAX-Q, 16 GB RAM for around $1500 USD. Severely undercutting laptops like the MacBook Pro 16 and Dell XPS 15 while offering similar and sometimes better performance! Watch for the full review.

The value to performance of this laptop is through the roof! Super impressed. What do you guys think? Hit me up on twitch.tv/mattmoniz or discord.gg/mattmoniz if you have any questions!
Well I’ve used HP for years they’re very reliable well working machines with really no performance issues & can last the distance even if you choose to not update for a few years or more....
Another great review Matt, I dunno if you’ll see my comment but I am actually in the market for a new laptop & I do prefer HP so in your opinion would this laptop be good enough for general use like social media, email, TH-cam, multitasking etc etc & still show a good overall performance and is that screen quality overall fairly good in your opinion?
Thanks for your time, Keep up the great work!
I've had mine for a couple weeks, its among the best value around for sure.
HP Envy 15 is like Omen 15 painted in white But Without AMD OPTIONS !
Where is the review????
update they made a better version that supports the HP active pen AND has the new i11 processor in it. cost me under $1100 at bust buy and I can tell you firsthand that this computer is defiantly something special indeed. Best laptop I've ever seen or used.
“It’s not really a gaming laptop, but it can do some _light_ gaming”
*205fps in overwatch*
Because over watch is a lightweight game
Jun Simons not at 200+ fps it’s not.
80fps in tomb raider is stupid too.
@@junsimons It can run Deux Ex Mankind Divided at 65 fps, is that a lighweight game too?
It's not a gaming laptop if it doesn't have rgb lights!
It's not a gaming laptop because the display refresh is holding it back
every laptop review: “It’s good, but...........”
There is no perfect laptop
That's how it should be.
thas appreciating product and innovation but still give subjective opinion, isn't that we have to do ?
They all have agreement , what one company gives good, other can't give that, ssshhhh that's secret😂😂😂
But.... they did not pay me enough
Been watching a lot of laptop reviews and this is one of those which I considered the most! All the way from the PH! Was really hesitant to get Dell XPS 15 cos of its price point and I'm really glad there's one that it can actually compare to. Thank you for this!
Thank you for another stellar video, Matt. Your honest appraisals are much appreciated.
No thank you sir tempered oil of the New Zealand evergreens. Your support is forever appreciated
@Angelene_121 not that I have used it but if my similarly equipped omen is anything to go by it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe more ram would help but that's about it.
Congrats on passing a 1/2 mil subs! Also, nice job with the review.
Man if this kind of performance is "light gaming" then I clearly don't know what heavy gaming is...
3 rtx 2080 ti in the same machine, it's the only answer i've got 😂
@@genekisayan6564 nvidia 3090 might be good for some moderate gaming
I'm using this for CAD and it's actually really good.
@@drcola143 nah it's kinda low, only 3000 fps
Mx250 is light gaming
RTX2060: *exists*
Matthew: You can do some light gaming
MX350: Why am I here, just to suffer
hahahaah
@VERY EVIL PERSON FROM ILLUMINATI the new rtx 30xxxxxxx 😓
These reviewers are ridiculous. Even a GTX 1060 is good for gaming. A 2060 is freaking insane. I just got the 2060 max q G14, and it kills everything I’ve thrown at it. Reviewers aren’t thinking like regular people half the time, because they always test 2080s all day every day. I hate reviewers like that
@@-Burb yeap, i think the same, i use to do photoshop abd lightroom, with an ideapad100, it was a celeron with no fan, form more than 6 years. yes, it was slow, but productive.
@@alfredbass
Yeah exactly. I had my old laptop for 5 years with an i5-6200u and Intel HD 520 graphics and it was fine, I even made it work for games as best I could. And yeah exactly, pretty much any laptop can be productive and run games if you’re willing to make it work. These reviewers don’t understand that and expect everyone to get a $3000 laptop with a 2080 or else it’s trash and can’t run anything. It’s so dumb.
Dude, you’re the man. For real. Bought the omen 15 after watching your video. Thank you
subs for this one, been waiting ever since unboxing, thanks for this vid!
Thanks for the sub and for taking the time to watch
@@MatthewMoniz oh ive been subbed since the pre corona if you know how long thats been.
I'm loving mine so far. I got it partially because of your review and a few others so thank you for that!
You’re very welcome!
Enjoyed the review. Thanks
I really wanna know how the performance is when running unplugged from the wall when editing 4K videos in Premiere. I really don’t wanna get a Macbook but seems to be the way
Ill run the test for you today and update it here.
Matthew Moniz thanks dude. Appreciate it
Performance will definitely take a hit. There's a great written review posted online detailing the difference. Just another thing to take into consideration. Especially for you need high performance on the go.
You are the most thorough laptop reviewer ever. I'm coming back to watch your videos anytime I want to buy a laptop haha
You mentioned about pwm flickering!!! I subscribed right away!
Thank you for answering my question 😁
*4k OLED display is used
Matt: this display falls behind
it's an older gen OLED that has more black space between pixels than the current gen of OLED panels. So yeah. It's good, but it's not the best.
@@davidlee1770 Straight from short circuit?
@@karthickshankar1527 yup
@Matthew >content creators
>you dont need oled ever
@Matthew exactly
I already bought a laptop about 2months ago but I still be watching laptop videos lol. This hp laptops is really nice. I wish I could have one 😤. Great video 👌
haha nice. What laptop did you buy?
Matthew Moniz msi RTX 2070. ge66 . I feel that I made a mistake lol. It’s 100$ off now and the msi gs66 RTX 2060 is 300$ off
@@kagemitsu-0343 don't sweat it, there's always going to be a new deal or a better model down the road. Think about it this way and you would never buy anything.
TheBman that’s true. Deals never ends 💀
@@kagemitsu-0343 just be happy that a you got a laptop with rtx 2070, mine only has an intel graphic chipset 😂
My man 😍
Thankyou so much for this review 🤟
Having used a HP Envy 360 i5 with 8gb and no GPU, I can say it has been an outstanding workhorse over the years. This new Envy, despite not being 360, looks great!
"Over the years.."? I can't get any laptop to last longer than 4 yrs, and then it's crippling along with 1/4 keyboard not responding, sound 50% gone, etc. My daughter has had her Mac for over 10 yrs and no prob. The deal for mean is always customer service, Dell being the worst (I ought to know).
DAS I got the envy gutted from laptop recyclers on eBay. I put in new SSD’s and despite being beat up it is perfect! Great keyboard, as good sound as the B&O system will be and excellent screen. No complaints at all!
I love this video. My computer is coming in two days. Cant wait! (3
Nice one Matthew, any idea when the zbook G7 is released?
I bought the Prestige 15 based on the Prestige 14 review :"P
Love it
Good work Matthew keep it up, you are doing the a great job as always !!!
Thanks a lot!
Appreciate the review, man. Thanks. Would anyone know if this laptop could be sold on Amazon (in future)?
Excellent review. How does this machine perform when running an external monitor?
Great Review Matthew. Please do the comparison of this laptop with HP Omen 15 with 4K display
Such a pity that they still don't manage to improve the camera quality in 2020.
This laptop proves you can cram in really good specs and good build quality and materials for well below the price the Dell XPS 15 and MacBook Pro 13 and 16 (seriously, those laptops are getting harder and harder to justify, imo)
Hp's build design is trash
I've had 2 of these laptops so far (first one broke) and the hp command centre and hp command centre button has not worked on both of them.
But lots of things I like. Like performance, the display, back-lit keyboard.....
Great review as always but screen would be a concern. What about the Envy X360 15 Ryzen?
Hey Matthew Moniz this is my first time here at your channel and I have to admit it was an amazing video you uploaded but I'm just nervous about this laptop cause I just can't seem to choose between this or the xps 15 and apart from you many youtubers haven't uploaded any reviews on the hp envy 15 lately which kinda scares me on whether this laptop might not be as perfect as it seems in the long run so I would really like, sir, really appreciate it for the fact that if you could compare this laptop to an XPS 15 and make brief comparison between the both eg on its vaccum chamber cooling or more important aspects. Eagerly waiting for your next video nonetheless.
Hey Matthew could you please... review Acer conceptd 3 ezel...I really wait for your review over this machine.. b'coz I love your video rather than other channels... love from India😘😘
FINALLY! HAD ME WAITING FOR A WEEK TO BUY
Lol sorry
Hey man! Great content as always! I've been watching a ton of your recent videos to help me decide on my next machine. And based on what I've learned from your reviews, I've narrowed it down to either the HP Envy 15 or the ASUS Zephyrus G14. I plan to mainly use the device for Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects. For those purposes, which of the two do you think would be a better option?
Thank you very much and keep up the great content!
I am thinking along the same lines? What did u end up getting?
Great review as always!
Can you please review HP ENVY x360 15. I'm confused whether to go for Intel or AMD.
Thank you - my Dell
XPS 15 9560 Laptop motherboard just quite. I problem with the Dell XPS. I am getting a replacement HP Envy. Very informative video.
Just got mine open box for about 1200, really love how performance mode sets the Pl1 limit to 80 watts and the cpu keeps drawing way more than 45 watts even in extensive runs. Hard to justify other higher prices.
Broo can you help me please, my cpu gets more than 80 watts and i get scareed i dont know if this is normal
How is it running now?
Amazing review as always 😍keep doing what you do.... Will always support you🙏👍
That's means a lot to me! Thank you Joshua
Anytime 😊
Love your videos, some of the best laptop reviews along with Dave lee! Is there anyway you could do a review of the msi prestige 15? I was thinking of getting that one but now I'm doubting which of the two offers a better value, would love to hear what you think!
I've been watching your reviews for 5 hours now, its 6am😂🤪
Haha you're crazy! But go get some sleep!!!
Omg same
The keyboard layout is very similar, if not the exact same, as my HP Spectre x360 kaby lake. It's an amazing layout. Probably one of the best keyboards i've used on a laptop.
Agree I love the keyboard. best I've ever used
Are we using the same laptop because the keys on mine is wonky
Nice review !
I'm really stoked for laptops in 2021. I hope we see high performance AMD laptops next year paired with vapor chamber cooling.
Yet another highly informative review loaded with real use insights. 👍
Unfortunately, the 16:9 aspect ratio is a dealbreaker for my type of office based usage. I’ll always pick a 16:10 if available. Ergo, hello XPS15 9500!
That said, I would still be very happy if given an Envy 15 by my employer (Haha! Like the UK NHS would ever be so generous!). It’s a fab laptop and the USB A is nice to see.
PS: You and Josh are the best laptop reviewers on YT. By some distance; and that’s great going given how many decent reviewers there are on here in general!
Aww thanks Jerome! I appreciate it ❤️
Can you do a comparison Video between envy 15 and Omen 15 (both 2020 Models)
Great Work so far.
I have this laptop. Very cool but I noticed it has squares on the screen where the keyboard comes into contact with the screen. Is this normal with modern laptops?
Finally been waiting for this review 😍😊
the best value for money laptop. excellent display, good performance, and overall feel. l would recommend this over spectre, XPS and MacBook. You can do everything in this laptop. l ran CAM and CAD software. it was pretty smooth. the gaming performance is not like other dedicated gaming laptops. but considering its original purpose and versatility, the gaming performance would not disappoint you. best mid range professional laptop.
This is an interesting laptop, thank you for the review. Compared to XPS this seems to be a better deal, but I really would have loved to have 16 x 10 IPS screen and a bit better battery life (would happen without 4K display as it is). They used to have configurable version where you could built 1080P 400 nits touchscreen with 2060, but not anymore.
Oh, and its been sold out for couple months now :P.
What would be the best option if i want dual h-drives, 9th gen AMD CPU, atleast decently color accurate display (this is my work) and changeable RAM?
Was looking to get the XPS 17 but AMD just seems to kill this idea for me.
any tips would be heavily appreciated.
I am waiting for that 🤩🤩
This laptop is looking awesome rn
Content's too good bro! Keep it up!
Thank you so much ❤️
Hey Matthew, how come you can only get the 2060 version in the US?
Would anyone recommend this laptop to be used for heavy photo editing (photoshop, lightroom), and 4k video editing with Sony Vegas? Also will a pen work with the touchscreen for photo editing? Trying to find a laptop that can handle all of that hasn't been easy. Open to suggestions, thank you
Thanks for the review. I think I will by 1. Regards, JB
HP is standing out! Great video as always Matt.
Thank you Danni! ❤️
Matthew Moniz you’re very welcome!
Whoooa!!! This is dope! Whats your thoughts on this for video editing (TH-cam content)? I saw your review for the Surface book 3 and agree its way to expensive for nothing extraordinary.
This would be excellent for video editing
watching this on my hp envy 17
from 2013
Does it still work okay?
Hahaha im using my dv6 from 2013
Phhhhefffff-sound of my mind blown
@@shaeshae1224 no the keyboard does not work microphone does not work have to charge it always to not make it turn off so its basically a desktop pc with a small screen and a keyboard attached to it
I dont know if I got a faulty model of this Envy 15. But from my personal experience there is quite noticeable coil whine noise and the fans go very loud on idle at random times when the charger is plugged. Had to return it.
Some info about it what I was interested in before buying: Is the timeline playback in Premiere silky smooth even without a charger plugged in? Yes. And it lasted about 1h30min for me doing so.
Ive been using an envy 15 from 2015 and it still works well, just upgrade the ram to 16gb and add an m.2 sata ssd and it will work very fine although not as fast as current ssds
I have it and mine just stopped working :/ got it in 2017. Has 16 ram as well. Battery is horrible and very clanky exterior.
Is it possible to charge the Laptop itself via the Thunderbold 3 port? And do you plan to review the Envy 13 (2020) as well?
How is the 2060 to performance when unplugged? Can you test some games?
Hey Matt. If we get the normal IPS display for this laptop then it wouldn't have the gaining issue right? OLED on this is from older generation.
would you recommend this for music production?
Thanks for the review. I've been wondering why the TH-camrs haven't cottoned onto the amazing HP Envy 15 2020 yet!
Can you take a look at the ep0010na model with the i9? I'm especially interested in it's Premiere pro capabilities compared to MacBook 16 i9 / Dell XPS i9
Some things I noticed
1) The HP datasheet (at least UK Version) shows USB Power Delivery on the ports, perhaps need a high wattage USB-C?
2) Did you notice the plastic cover on the inside hinge? I had to return one because the paint was chipped
3) The huge rubber foot at the back! Hurts when you use it as an actual laptop
thanks again
I am waiting for the same!
Technical specifications for HP ENVY 15-ep1504na 15.6" Laptop - Intel® Core™ i7, 512 GB SSD, Silver
this gap keeps the keyboard from leaving button prints on the display as well
Maybe razer did a better job adjusting the oled panels though. No pwm flicker or any banding issues here. Solid af oled panel from razer🤩
Can any version of Linux be installed in this laptop? Im a prospective software engineer and im looking to buy a new laptop for that line of work
Loved the video as always! 💛 My heart is waiting for you to put Valorant performance and FPS in your benchmarks too 🥺... Especially, it being a new title and potentially an e-Sports title too! It would be great to measure I think.
Thank you! I can put valorant but its such a light game then most gaming laptops run it very well
@@MatthewMoniz Yeah! You're the boss, bud! I'll be okay with anything and keep watching your videos! Deep down I'm so glad you even replied to me! 🤠 You're the best! 💛
I hope this doesn't get lost in the sea of comments but would you mind replying to this question?
Did you buy your envy 15 in July perhaps? You've noted that there is _some_ coil whine in your unit and I've done a little research and it turns out the early production models in July had the coil whine issues (right now I have found out it was in early July, but it could be early to mid July) or did you buy yours right as August began??
My only concern with this laptop is that is seems like if you use it in certain sunlight conditions the lettering of the keys will become impossible to see. I had an Asus with a very similar keyboard and it had the same issue, where the lettering on the keyboard disappeared if in a room with a big window and lots of sunlight. Like in a coffee shop for example.
If its possible (you don't really need to) but could you review the Hp envy 17 (2020) ?
Can you make a video on predator Triton 300(2020) and it's thermals and battery life and compare it with Helios 300 and legion 5i
Pretty sure this sucker is my next laptop.
Best purchase I've made in a long time review is spot on. There's just nothing out there that even comes close to this for the $$. Gaming on this thing is beautiful so long as you're conscious that it is only a 60HZ display as impressive as the 100+ FPS numbers are on max settings, I've gotten this thing to do 80-90 FPS on MW: Warzone maxed out with Ray Tracing and some MSI afterburner OC'ing. GPU Temps no more than 76c and CPU no more than 86-88c without a cooling pad.
IF I KNEW THIS IS COMING, would've gotten this...
You forgot the Unboxing,but hey..your reviews are so good!
I did the unboxing :P th-cam.com/video/hhpdsMix_SM/w-d-xo.html
If i connect some external monitor/s via hdmi or usb-c it takes the gpu from the intel processor or is the RTX 2060 used? Is it configurable?
Ive searched but found actually no conrete informations.
For this price point, what are other alternative to this ?
im using the laptop that you are showing in the video
It would of made more sense to make it even cheaper by utilizing a QHD Display and it'll be even more battery efficient having a QHD Display instead of a 4K Display. For a screen that size a QHD Display would be a lot more beneficial for a proper level of detail. Can't wait to see manufacturers start using GRAPHENE BATTERY, lots of potential.
QHD displays turn out being more expensive for manufacturers from what i understand as companies who make QHD displays are rare, most of them either make 1080p or 4k, funny enough tho the only company who makes 4K OLED is Samsung for laptops
@@DeanT1987 4K is probably cheaper for them as it's quite often used in TV and it's been so many years being produced but for laptops not as much and it's not that often also that we see QHD display in laptops but instead in monitors and cellphones but there is still something to gain such as better battery life and perhaps even less overheating of the display thus may lead to longer longevity for the display and battery cell. We should definitely use QHD display in laptop unless 4K display becomes somehow more efficient while producing true 4K (if that's even possible). Or we start using GRAPHENE BATTERY, lots of potential.
@@adri.khaz.6290 Yea but again for us we want better battery life but for HP,Dell etc they want to buy panels at a good price and in large scale which may not be possible. I think the only laptop manufacturer that uses QHD extensively is Apple and I'm sure they have exclusive rights to the panels that are in their laptops and being that their high selling products like MBA and MBPro 13's have QHD panels they probably have manufacturer running at full capacity to keep up with demand. my theory idk if its true. I too wish I had QHD OLED in my HP Envy instead of this 4K at least for another hour of battery life.
Nothing wrong with the edge to edge FHD display. You cannot see the pixels in real world use and gives you 3hrs extra battery life. OLED is great but not for productivity.
There's an I9 8 cores for that laptop so I'm sure gonna beat the XPS in adobe PS too if you were have that version
plz review Hp Spectre X360 2020
Thank You Mr.Matthew Moniz for finally releasing this video😂
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@MatthewMoniz i loved it...but can you suggest the best laptop under $1200 for light gaming and video editing?
I love OLED displays but with computers I do prefer LCD. The screen is on longer then phones and I tend to keep my laptops a lot longer then my phones. With that in mind LCD panels will last longer and I like the 4K panel on the Dell XPS 13 9310
If the second itteration come with 3:2 aspect ratio and at least 180 degree of hinge rotatio it would be the "dream laptop" with the same price off course 😊
Is there an option to keep the keyboard backlight constantly on? Or will it go off after a few seconds of inactivity?
I went to your canadian page for the HP but i can't find RTX 2060 instead there's 1650ti model with 4k panel.
Wy is that Matthew 🤔
compared to the helios 300 2020 which one's better? doesn't the low refresh rate effect its performance?
I have this Hp. It was great but 1.5 years and the fan went out and it is constantly having problems with keeping it cool when in use.
Are you Professor X? I was thinking about this ultrabook today..btw i want to appreciate you intro, so neat
Thank you!
Hi Your Answers would Be Appreciated !!
Could you Explain what do you Mean by 'in Premiere Pro the Preformance is better than most others but where as in Photoshop the Performance is Behind'
As far as I can Tell the Former takes up much Ram and CPU Processing, Whereas the Latter is just for Designing and doesn't consume too much of the CPU.
Could you Also say what's the Best Laptop for Video Editing.?
Your Views on Smasung Galaxy Book Flex would be Helpful.
Thanks!!
heyy can you make review on envy x360 13?
They’re sold out :( anyone know a place to get this configuration?
Does ur Nvidia GPU works while playing games like gta? I can't get mine to run with the nvidia gta even when I force it in the setting, it keep using the intel cpu
Where can I watch the video where you tested this unit in games?
