Despite being a small and light laptop, the HP Envy offers a lot of computing power. The 4500U is about as fast as Intel's fastest and newest 10nm processor. The 4700U adds quite a bit of extra performance on top. So if you need good performance go for the 4500U. If you need something that is competetive with 3 year old large and heavy desktop replacement notebooks, go for the 4700U.

The 13.3 inch display of the HP envy is bright and vivid. It has slim betzels on all sides, except on the bottom. A 19:10 aspect ratio with smaller bottom betzels would have been perfect. Although the FullHD resolution is nothing special nowadays, it is enough for a 13.3 inch screen and helps preserve battery life.

A capable 2-in-1 without any major weaknesses and, thanks to the upgraded CPU, excellent performance and battery life.
