Pros: Classy understated design 2-in-1 capability Decent keyboard/touchpad Reliable fingerprint scanner Ryzen 4700u (!) Upgradable WiFi, SSD, and RAM Great battery life Cons: Bad display Heavy Fan noise I came to the 15.6" Envy x360 4700u from a 13.3" Spectre x360 1065-g7 and before that, a dying Surface Pro. First things: the performance of the 4700u is absolutely phenomenal and the Envy has a revamped cooling solution that keeps it below 85 during load. Also, the integrated graphics performance is on par with a 960m from a few years past for a pretty smooth light gaming experience. Honestly, the majority of the appeal for this laptop comes from the performance, its 2 in 1 form factor, and (for me) its looks. On to the bad stuff: It is kind of heavy, or at least dense. Dell's XPS 15 and the Surface Laptop 3 15" are both noticeably lighter. For the first few hours while I set it up the fan noise was near unbearable and it seems to have settled into a low but constant hum even when idling. If you are the kind of person very bothered by fan noise you might look for something quieter. It is silent about 50% of the time though. The display is... workable. I keep it on maximum brightness or at least 80% and it's comfortable to work with, but colors are washed out and inaccurate. Spotify Green looks more like puke, and Netflix Red has become Netflix Orange. If you're looking for a laptop for photo editing or any color intensive work, or otherwise like looking at accurate colors, you should probably steer clear of this specific model, Final thoughts: while there are serious cons, really it's just a few areas of improvement in a laptop that otherwise is basically an amazing (and only) 4700u 2 in 1 solution. The fans can get loud, but the processor stays really cool. The battery life is on par with the 10th gen Spectre x360, due to AMD's 7nm process using much less power than Intel. And the processor, if you haven't heard, is godlike. Even if you do video editing, photo editing, etc. and are concerned about the display... if you want the most powerful 2-in-1 there is to work faster than near anything else on the market right now, honestly just hook up a color accurate monitor. Laptop displays have always been lacking and when you think about the performance and upgradeability of this laptop it's something I can easily overlook. It feels like HP's sleek take on the ThinkPad, which I love, and it's something you can bring to the office looking very professional instead of potentially "too" cool like the HP Spectre and it's angled edges. I give this a strong recommendation (4/5) and wholeheartedly recommend this over the weaker Intel version with the following disclaimers: If you want this exact model with better brightness, color gamut, etc. you can customize a version on the HP online store. It will obviously be more expensive, and it'll take a month or more to get built and shipped to you from Chongqing. But if you are willing to wait, that option is available to you (I wasn't willing to wait). Also, mind that Ryzen 4000 in laptops is very new, and AMD's driver support has historically been worse than Intel's. I think Ryzen 4000 is the turning point where AMD is becoming a serious competitor to Intel again, and I haven't faced any issues yet, but it is something you should know.
