HP - ENVY x360 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 8GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 - 256GB SSD - Sandblasted Anodized Finish, Nightfall Black

I got this laptop for regular home use. It works fantastic, it's super responsive, and beautiful. My son plays his games on it and there is no lag at all. Overall a great purchase, worth every penny.

Been waiting for this refresh since AMDs announcement of the 2nd gen Ryzen processors in January. Although this 3700U processor is only about 5% faster than it's predecessor, the 2700U, the main selling point here is the die shrinkage from 14nm to 12nm. This means less power consumption, less heat and better overall CPU efficiency. I had the previous model, the 15M-CP0012DX, and I can tell you that this new model runs much quieter and cooler. CPU temps while streaming and browsing, which is my main use, seem to be roughly 3-5 °C cooler. Idle is at 35 °C. This new model still uses the same keyboard, same ram frequency at 2400, same Realtek WiFi card (which is now inaccessible unless you remove the mother board) and same FHD IPS touch display so I won't talk about those. One thing to note about the display and one of my only gripes, it's still a bit dim just like the previous one, I was hoping HP gave it some more brightness but they didn't. Since it only came with 8GB of ram, I took the liberty to open the back cover up and upgrade it to 32GB of ram. I just don't think 8GB is enough these days and adding more ram takes a little less stress off of the CPU which helps it run even cooler. I noticed the back cover was redesigned for better airflow and there are much more thermal tapes scattered around. Internal design is a big upgrade from the 2700U model. There are now 2 cooling fans with even more heat pipes, seems like HP is taking fan noise and heat very serious and that's something I can appreciate. Also, there is only 1 drive for the PCI-e NVMe SSD, no more SATA III drive which is fine by me. Laptop comes with 256GB which is fine for most people but if you want to upgrade they make them up to 2TB (4000GB), if you have the means to buy one. I can't comment on battery life too much as I mostly keep my laptop in my room and plugged in but it seems to last a decent amount of time of around 4-5 hours. I ran it unplugged on purpose and it wasn't too bad at all although I don't have solid figures. Maybe another review will address this. So overall I am very happy with this laptop, no issues at all so far. That's all I have and thanks for reading. Hopefully this will help you decide to buy or not.

I was originally looking at getting the previous model of this laptop, during my research I noticed that they were releasing a new model so I decided to wait for this one to come out. I'm glad I did, I feel like the construction is a bit more sturdy overall, especially on the touchpad. This is a touchscreen even though the specs currently say it's not (I knew it would be because I was able to find the HP spec sheet online, but in case you're wondering). A few things worth mentioning, there is no indicator on the num lock key to indicate if it is on or off, there is no f lock key, and the fingerprint reader is hit or miss. None of these things were deal breakers for me nor do I feel like they were things that I personally would remove a star for. I may eventually do some upgrades to the RAM and/or install a larger SSD, but overall I am super happy with the laptop.

I usually buy Intel I7. However, I kept hearing about how good the new AMD Ryzen7 chips were so I decided to give this laptop a chance. I ran numerous benchmarks and compared my results to numerous Intel I7 laptops. I was impressed. The 8th gen I7 edges it out in single threaded tests. But that all changes in the multi-thread tests where this Ryzen7 shines. I have used this laptop to run multiple linux VM's at the same time. This laptop ran them well. Overall this laptop is very fast, the screen is gorgeous, and the fingerprint scanner works flawlessly. I would buy this again without hesitation and recommend it for anyone who needs a powerful laptop for coding, photoshop, etc.

This was a very good deal the day I got it for $699...very good, no issues... will be upgrading memory to 32gb max and maybe 1tb hard drive ... which future proofs it for a few years.... bought HP 3 year warranty that covers anything and everything... so... overall... if you need a bigger screen and especially need to do office work with the greatest of ease with good portability... then get this especially if you find it on a good discount... really the only reason for not 5 stars is that it is a little heavy and weighs down a backpack slightly... but, can't always have everything perfect sometimes.

Ryzen 7, expandable RAM to 32GB, Vega Graphics, lightweight, and metal. What could you possibly not like about this laptop? I've looked endlessly for a good laptop, and I always come back to this one. Some may not care for HP, or AMD, but with modern manufacturing most everything is the exact same as far as reliability goes. I will say, that with all of the security issues on Intel platforms, and AMD being accused of the same security issues but not one single verification of this attack, AMD is the only natural choice for a processor. I'm awaiting an Envy with a 3rd generation Ryzen processor. As soon as that happens in a form factor this perfect, I'll be purchasing that and claiming it is the best laptop. But until then, dollar for dollar, this has no equal.

Everything about this laptop is great. Aesthetically, it is beautiful. I love the keyboard and the spacing between the keys. It is back lit which is great for night-time use. So far I have experienced absolutely no hiccups or slow-downs. the screen is decent for the price. The cons: the fingerprint reader is absolutely useless. It works about 1 out of 10 times, and I am not exaggerating. 9 out of 10 times I end up having to use my PIN to log in to my account. It's mostly a nuisance and doesn't really affect the day-to-day use of the laptop but still, I paid for a fully functioning everything. Other than that, great laptop, but if you can find a similar one without the fingerprint reader at a lower price I'd say go for it, since the one on the HP Envy x360 practically doesn't work.

Great performance, good build quality, and great value. Very happy with the purchase. I do wish hp would be more clear on what ram it has and if its upgradable. Though it has plenty for most users I have a few programs that want to see a full 8 gigs and while this laptop has 8 gigs some of it is shared with the graphics card. I would have liked to have a bigger hdd and usb c charging but again those aren't deal breakers and its still a great laptop.
