I am so happy for AMD kicking intel's butt. Competition is always good.
right before intel kicks back with much more powerful TIger Lake
.
bright side : Tiger Lake is likely to be much more expensive than Ryzen 4000
I'm so glad Intel beats AMD's cheap butt for gaming because that's what I do! Helps bring prices down for both companys and since Intel beats AMD for gaming it's good news for me.
@@AngelOfDeath420 but not by much, which is not worth the price premium you pay over Ryzen. Not only that but you have to buy a pretty decent CPU cooler to see that performance difference as well. Have fun with that.

Fantastic review as always. I don't even want a laptop and I still watch these reviews. Thanks Lon!
Guys!
When I first got this laptop, I was put off with the yellowish screen; I also noticed other users had the same issue with this model. However, I'm glad to report that this was easily fixed in the screen calibration. Just search for display setting and follow the rest of the steps.

I love these reviews. Thank you Lon!
Best details description i have ever seen for revewing.....❤️
Please bring a video on best touchscreen 2 in 1 laptop under 1000-1200 USD
This is the perfect Laptop for me. Thank you for the great review!
Appreciate the review, very informative and comprehensive.
Really grateful for your dedication towards Linux compatibility reports. I totally love your reviews!!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for the brief Linux overview. Much appreciated.
Excellent video. Ryzen CPUs never stopped to impressed me. Now the power efficiency is becoming close to Intel... such a blast! My next laptop will have a ryzen cpu!
Excellent video review! Thanks
So grateful to you for doing the Linux test, thanks for that. Seriously considering this to replace my Surface Pro because it can't Linux properly and had enough of Windows 10.
Awesome review. The idea to show some actual games is great - this looks really like an interesting device.
Please, replace video playback part with 3D CAD performance review. Ie. Fusion360 and rotate some complex part. It would make really good sense of the actual performance of combined cpu/gpu performance.
I just bought one of these and I'm so happy with the speed of this computer! Loving the regular keyboard (missing the control key on the right though) including the number pad. Loving the portability and everything about this new laptop dawg!
how are you finding it now?
@@geniea501 I had to return the first one; screen was getting double vision. Got the replacement and I love the speed of it, screen, keyboard layout (except I miss the ctrl on the right hand side). Just LOVE it.
@@michwoolman4449 thank you for responding
Thanks for including the Linux compatibility test.
I like this review .. no confusions left !!
Keep up the great work
Yeah finally! Only the yoga slim 7 is left to be reviewed.
Awesome all around review 👍 now a subscriber
Wonderful video , Thanks man
Another interesting option that is thin and light still inexpensive is MSI Modern 14 B4M.
Looking forward to seeing a review on your channel.
The term for the "door" on the USB port is Drop Jaw
Great review. Thanks.
Great video. Thanks very much!!
Nice review! Please test the ideapad 5 if you can!
This laptop looks really good.
Thank you for the nice review😁
Comfort mode seems nice for using this laptop for a long time
Very good review!!
Well I love my current HP Envy. And I love my 17 inch display...And.... I don't need a new one but I now want one. I'm drooling! 🤤🤤🤤
the new hp envy's are pretty sweet i picked up my 15 inch the other day from best buy and love it
Haha, I feel you I have an 2011 HP DV7, works amazing even now. Theremals weren't the best out of the box, but applied thermal paste a couple years after purchase. The speakers with the subwoofers are still one of the best on the market :)
Costco has the 15.6" version on sale for $600!
@@jjg1818 How do you like it so far and did you choose intel or ryzen? I have both in my cart but can't decide which is better....
@@deronthompson7229 me to..
great review. just got one off the back of this review
Is it good?
Nice, good about your statement in the review. Because HP...
Great review Lon. Are you able to compare this unit with the HP Envy x360 powered by Intel 10th Gen i5? I'm curious to know what the processor performance, thermals (top and bottom of laptop) and battery life.
Got one on order! 16gb ram & R7 installed 😎
Great review. One question though: Was that linux in Native boot or virtual box?
This is a great review. I'm looking for a replacement for my wife's laptop and this is the spec or Intel equivalent I'm looking for. The Lenovo Yoga 7i is also a contender but I have an HP Spectre which I've been very pleased with hence looking at what HP can offer. Just waiting for the HP Aero to put in an appearance!
Thank you for feedback on Linux. Doing this in your laptop reviews is a true differentiator. Keep it up!
best detail description I had ever seen, Thanks and I had bought this laptop It is working awsm.. form INDIA
How it working now
@@aritraghosh9467 It is working awsm and very smooth..
@@aniruddhakhonde421 Ok thanks i m also from india n thinking about buying it soon
Did you try charging it through the USB C port because lon has mentioned in the video that it does, and some other reviewers on TH-cam say that it does not
@@mittalvatsal noo I am not able to charge it with C type cable..
Got the 4700U / 16GB / 512Gb model just over a month ago and it is a great machine! Performance is awesome, and it the cheap Surface Pens that sell on Amazon work out of the box with this. Great price, great performance and nice size!
Hello, I got mine a few days ago 4500 u/8gb/512.... I was wondering if could let me know...Can you actually charge it through USB type c connector?
I tried but it tells me "not compatible"....thought that perhaps you could help me out😅
Any issues with heating and fan being loud like I've seen in a few reviews?
I purchased that laptop and I am extremely happy with it. I can recommend it to everyone.
Brother is this laptop is good for high programming and coding....
@@vivekkumarupadhyay2303 should be
Hows it holding up?
@@Cataphract1236 bought it, its really good..not a fan of the small tab button tho
@@harz5935 sure I can live with that lol thanks man
Could you do also a review of the 15 inch model? Nice video btw!
The 15 inch has upgradable Ram from what I have been told, unlike this 13 inch
Really liked video. Can you help with below concern 1. WiFi 6 upgradabiliity (Intel Wifi 6 AX200 Hardware
change)
Great review brother.
Can you please clarify if this particular model has any heating issue, Hp had a bad reputation for thermal management and inferior materials inside laptop of similar range compared to dell laptop in past, is that resolved in 2020?
Thank you.
This is one of the best at this range
Lon, any word on Asus 4000 series APU Vivobooks? I do know that they exist, as they are already in parts of Asia, and there are reviews, which unfortunately are only in Thai. They tend to come in at a good price point and are often on sale. I've actually got a 2500u model which I am pretty pleased with, but want to keep up to date with how they evolve. Hope you do a review.
Watching this with my new envy x360
Hi, which do you prefer, this or the lenovo idea flex 5?
Hi. Thanks for review
Does the 15inch one and 13 one you reviewed
Have performance difference even same cpu ?
Thermal limitations power and stuff ?
They should be about the same. 15" might have slightly better cooling, but I don't think you'd notice the difference.
The main difference it that the RAM is upgradable on the 15.6" version. 13" has soldered RAM.
@@dominiccruz2332 no bro, 13" one has upgradable RAM too
@@johubify i dont think so... i just got one 9 months ago
How does the HP ENVY x360 13 compare to the new M1 Macbook Air and Macbook Pro for gaming?
Man, can i use this laptop for Graphic Design like second Device, i just wat to take it on vaction and to open and edit PSD & Ai Files.
Nice review, I have watched a few different reviews on this by different people and all the reviews are the 13.3 inch version. Any idea why the 15 inch does not get any reviews? I wish HP would make a 14 inch version, that would have been the sweet spot.
Ive been searching for reviews on the 15' but found only one. If you follow Andrew Marc David you should see one from him soon...he mentioned that he's working on one to be posted here soon. Check out this one th-cam.com/video/ZHeErZHrD1E/w-d-xo.html
Linux Update:
With the F.12 BIOS Update and updating the Ubuntu kernel to 5.7.8 it runs very well. Working brightness and fixed fan noise.
Glad to see quite good Linux support.
I have the intel version of this laptop and i love it no complaints i think it's a great laptop for the price
Stop lying there is no Intel version of this laptop.
@@BornArcher8 ofc there is. It's a different color tho.
Your way to describe things is on point. I have seen so many reviews on HP ENVY X360 but I like yours. I also brought this pc on last month for ₹81500($1090 appx.) in India. Best feature of this laptop is its compact size and high quality display. You will not regret to buy it. Just go for it. Also I am SUBSCRIBED. 😊
What about the laptops performance now ?? Is it still worth ?? Battery life ??
@@shebinvk
Did you find a better option? Or you later got this?
@@m_bobby I later went with Dell XPS 13 😊
@@shebinvk
What's your config?
How's the battery life?
Do you game on it?
@@m_bobby i5 evo processor 11th Gen, 8 GB RAM, 512 SSD.
No brother, gaming is not my purpose. I only watch contents online and offline and the basic stuffs. Battery life is pretty good and one of the best.
Figured I'd mention Costco has the 15.6" version on sale for $600 ($200 off). Seems like a great deal given that's cheaper than any other laptop with the 4500u chip.
I used my stepmoms membership to get one for my grandpa. Hope he likes it!!
It would be great if u could review the Dell Inspiron 5406. Because it also has a two in one design but it's running on intel 11 gen CPU with xe graphics. Nevertheless, that also cost similar amount of money.
I've been waiting for a 13.3in laptop with the Ryzen 4000 series chips. I've seen awesome deals on 15.6in laptops with Ryzen 4500u/4700u but I really like the portability of 13in ultrabooks having previously owned an old 11in Macbook Air Pre-Retina and some Chromebooks,so I don't mind paying the extra $150-200 to have a smaller-sharper display and a thin-and-light device.
Tony NewGuy Costco had the Ryzen 7 model for 750 dollars it's better than the Ryzen 5 model. It normally goes on Costco for 900 dollars.
@@BornArcher8 Can you confirm if the one available at Costco has the 2019 chassis? It seems different from the 2020 model I see on Hp site but has same specs.
Brilliant review . Specially Linux
Would you do me a favor and answer my very important question . Does its USB c port able to run for example 2 external hard drives, external monitor, mouse, keyboard and may be an ex speaker in the same time?. Another way to my question I don't need to carry a USB c hub that need's power to run but I need to carry a very tiny USB c with mulitiple outs (HDMI, AUX, USB A ....) in may bag and to be able to run all these things through this labtop's USB c on the go. Does its USB c has this much power or wattage? or how much the limit for this labtop or all labtops if there is a general answer for all type C's? . Thanks again and I'm waiting your answer kindlly.
Purchased this here in India for 1000 USD. But it's worth the money - fast, screen is bright (400 nits) with accurate colors, battery lasts 8-9 hours on an average work day. Moreover I can sync it with my Samsung Galaxy note 10 using Link to Windows. Happy with my decision and the fact that I didn't go for macbook air.
Hi. I have an old 15.6 inch HP laptop with a 16:9 aspect ratio and I find it comfortable enough for my work. I was planning on buying the Envy x360 13.3 inch model. Can someone please tell me if it is an uncomfortably small screen? I am worried about seeing much less content and scrolling around much more than I do now which would be hectic for work.
This laptop or new lenovo flex 5 or asus vivobook please answer compare on display perspective
Any way to find out what kind of display panel is in there? According to HP, there's a 300 nit and a 400 nit variant.
He is the Doug of Laptops
Thanks for you info. I am wondering whether to purchase this one or the ASUS ZenBook 14 Flip. What are your thoughts on that !
Don't get Asus. Bad quality. Sometimes many driver issues.
@@DoktreSam I had an ASUS for 6 years. No issues. But i decided to get the HP ENVY
what stylus/pen can you recommended for this laptop?
Hi can you advise on the package weight and dimensions please? I'd be grateful. I need it for shipping offshore.
Have you noticed any anomaly in the display? If you don't adjust the angle properly, you see part of screen already darker. Poor edge visibility. Pity, i had doubt about Nits of Brightness, and tried to play with settings and colors. is it because of the glossy panel? Or its a cheap quality?
Hi i bought same thing and noticed my touchoad has a gap on one side is this normal
Since the ram is soldered does it go baad like the normal ones? How easy and expensive is it to get replaced ? Would it be able to run unity3d and unreal game engine for basic dev purposes?
Hey loved it but can you please do the 15 inch review
subtract 2" lol
@@z352kdaf8324 exactly the only difference is that the ram is upgradable
@@evanbeebe4171 for what I have understood, the only 15" models that are upgradable are the ones from Costco and BestBuy. Here in Europe for example I cannot find any info that says it is upgradable and even the manual doesn't say anything about it. The hp support even confirmed that to me
I just bought a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th gen i5 10gen, 16/512 for 1100 Euros, but I am drooling on this HP Ryzen 😁
Don't you will get much better long term support from Lenovo, as they have just certified a whole line of their machines for Linux(Red Hat, and Ubuntu preinstalled) with them giving direct driver support being upstreamed to the Linux kernel itself, which means better support for almost all Linux distros, plus their support forums are much better when you need help as I was still able to get help with one of my older Lenovo Thinkpad X120e machines last year through their forums, along with overall build quality. Lenovo is just a better overall long term value for your money in laptops/notebooks.
Careful! I bought this laptop, but the 15.6 inch
variant with ryzen 7 and 16gb ram. I have to say
I was very disappointed with the display at 250
nits and the colour was way off. 400 nits not in Europe. Final straw was
poor connection for college streaming. It kept
cutting out but my two year old hp pavillion
was working fine for the same online lecture!
Luckily, I was able to return it despite using it
and swapped it for the mac book pro although
paying dot more, but wow 500 nits, like night
and day. Guys lesson here is even though
processor is great there is a trade off in display
and WiFI ac. Pen is a bit gimmicky and you'll
never use the 360 screen in flip mode given the poor
display. Basically you get what you pay for. It's
a shame considering the processor but be warned!
Can I edit 4K videos in premiere pro using this laptop without needing to create a proxy file on premiere? Looking for a video editing laptop that can handle 4K video editing
Is HP envy 13" a right choice for Adobe Premiere Pro? I'm really confused between AMD and intel. I don't care much about export time, but playback smoothness and no shuttering is important.
I have not seen this mentioned/tested here, maybe because people do not expect it from ultraportable laptops. So- the screen on this laptop supports freesync. The range is 40-60Hz I think, which is perfect for the iGPU it has.
Yes I thought I had mentioned that but it might have been on a take I didn't end up using in the final edit. Was surprised to see that on this one!
@@LonSeidman you realised it on the live stream, i remember, it wasn't mentioned in this video though
Got this laptop as soon as it was available on the HP site. One thing to note is that to keep freesync, and if installing newer drivers from Amd Site, do not do a clean install of the drivers, otherwise you will lose the freesync functionality. Clean installing driver keeps the overlay metric functionality but loses freesync, and doing a non fresh install of driver, keeps freesync but loses the overlay functionality (but can use rivatuner and hwinfo for that instead)
Can you please suggest the type of processsor for this model.. which you prefer intel i5 11th gen or Razen 5 4th gen for hp x 360
Sir, I also bought the same model. Do this have a tilt in one side of hinge? As I noticed this issue and brought this to seller notice and he opened other fresh piece of laptop and found same kind of tilt. Can you please confirm whether this tilt is design issue or I got a defective piece.
If you were to choose? This one or the Lenovo flex 5?
Great Review! I was wondering if the 300 nit display is enough brightness. Is the 400 nit upgrade worth the extra money?
From personal experience, I have a Surface Pro that has a screen with less than 300 nits. I would say 300 nits is enough if you are mainly working inside a building. However, if you do work outside often with direct sunlight, then you should invest in a 400 nit screen. Just remember to consider your work scenarios to determine what the best option for you is.
If you are opening your laptop under mid-day sunlight 300nit is enough
Newer kernel support brightness on linux (at least Manjaroo can when Ubuntu can't)
once usb4 comes out ill look forward to the ryzen 7 variant......since it it will also have thunderbolt/egpu potential. SOON, SOON...you can have laptop/flip tablet movie or cooking YT, then dock into an egpu to game/render as a professional desk/station
andola jackson Probably not until a year as I am pretty sure the Ryzen apus don't support usb 4. Might need to wait till 2021.
I love that you test Linux
very nice to finally see AMD in nice looking laptops with nice screens and not just clunky netbook look-a-like crap ones, just wish they would STOP with all the stupid stickers where some of them usually don't come off easy
Please make a comparison video between lenovo flex 5 ryzen 4500u and hp envy x360 ryzen 4500u
Which do you think is better for me to buy, this one, or Lenovo Flex 5 14?
I think that the 15 inch version has upgrade able ram (at least according the the BestBuy questions and answers) Hopefully I'll be picking one up on Monday!
Costco has the 15" on sale for $600 if you or someone you know has a membership.
Honestly it'd probably be cheaper to get a membership and buy it from them. Costco has some quality stuff.
@@dominiccruz2332 I got it for $579.99, which I thought was a steal. I got it today though and there seem to be some QC issues like speaker distortion, scratches, the fans don't turn off in sleep mode, and bluetooth occasionally drops out. I'll try exchanging it if I can because it seems to be a pretty a nice laptop otherwise.
That little flap over the USB port is pretty common with Ethernet ports on thin laptops.
Indeed it is, but I personally don't like that, as it just seem like something else that might break.
The 2019 model got discontinued so Walmart put it on sale for 200$. Best purchase I’ve made in awhile
Dude, you are so lucky! I bought the previous model with i5 8th gen for 800$ (i live in Greece)..
If only I had been looking! That the type of deal I would humbly share too.
The ram cannot be upgraded to 16gb? Is it attached to board like the same one in Lenovo flex 5?
I wish more AMD Ryzen 4000 laptop will be available in my country. The HP envy 4500u is somehow being more expensive than the core i5 version in my country, what the heck.
i have a hp envy x360 laptop but some of the keys are different than yours and the power button for me is at the side of my laptop, i find it quite strange why its the same model but its completely different
Lon, open it up, I want to see the fans, cooling system and the internals
It is quite hard to open and especially close back up, so I doubt he can do that if it's on loan.
Other guy did it, just check youtube for other review, its 30 mins long
Can you review HP ENVY 15t please?
Hello Josh, quick question for you; I purchased the ENVY x360 2-in-1 13.3" Touchscreen Laptop - Intel Evo Platform - Intel Core i7 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD to make movies and to use embroidery software will this computer handle this? The processor System Memory RAM Speed: is 3200 megahertz, is this fast enough for what I’m trying to do? Also, I paid $749, did I get a good deal?
Hi, is the 16GB version on board dual channel or single? Thanks
The thermal profile thing is interesting. I'll be buying this laptop shortly, but I plan on having a dual boot with a ubuntu partition. I guess there's no way to control this sort of thing on another system, right?
Have you bought it?
I like the ubuntu test
Need 4500u with 16gb ram option. For gaming 4700u and 4500u aren’t that far apart.
Lenovo’s laptop seems like the better deal
Can you guys check out the acer aspire 7? Would u guys say its good value?
Nice one
