When it comes to charging, the included 45W power brick fills up the notebook to full in two hours. When I put my gamer’s hat on, I only get two and a half hours on a single charge. This includes consistent Wi-Fi connectivity, web browsing (using both Chrome and Edge), and a couple of Modern Family episodes on Netflix. My usage of the Envy x360 varies, but the average battery life I get is around five hours. HP claims 11 hours of battery life based on its tests, which sounds impressive but real-life usage is nowhere near that number. My favorite, Cities Skylines, is also enjoyable on medium settings despite the occasional frame drops. Fortnite is nicely playable when you turn down the resolution, as well. Usually, laptops this size can only run PC games on low settings but thanks to the prowess of the Radeon RX Vega 10 unit, I was able to play CS:GO well on high settings.

It’s responsive, but it uses a third-party Synaptics driver as opposed to the native Windows Precision. I can’t say the same for touchpad, though. I loved the spacious keyboard on the Lenovo (as always), although HP is able to cram a well-spaced layout and it didn’t take long before I adjusted to it. Prior to the Envy x360, I was using the Lenovo C930, which is not exactly a small laptop. With its smaller body is a compact keyboard that is surprisingly great.
Let’s not forget it’s using Gorilla Glass, too. Its 13-inch profile is significantly smaller than other similarly sized notebooks in the market due to its micro-edge bezels.

Don’t mistake it for being dull and boring though, because the subtle pattern near the hinge is quite a head turner. The only available color option is this Dark Ash Silver, so there’s really no other choice for those who prefer a lighter finish. The whole body is made of aluminum with a matte finish. That being said, this notebook looks and feels premium like a true expensive device.

Gestures are difficult at times, though Premium at all anglesįor those who are unfamiliar, the Envy series of HP notebooks sits between the high-end Spectre series and the mainstream Pavilion line.
