Build Quality & Design

Magnificent . This was the offset thought that struck my mind the moment I took the Green-eyed x360 13 in my easily. The device inherits the genes of the Spectre series and provides an excellent in-hand feel, thanks to small course cistron and a sturdy metal build which provides some much-needed assurance.

The Envy x360's unabridged body is made out of metal with a dark grey paint. The surface finish is neither also slippery nor too rough, and the best part is that information technology doesn't get smudged hands. The body has curved edges and rounded corners.

The Envy x360 flaunts a patterned design on the hinge, which adds to the premium appeal, and personally, I quite like the attention to detail in making certain that the device stands out from the crowd.

Since the Envy x360 is a convertible that tin can be folded all the way to the tablet manner. Like the concluding-gen model the hinges have an athwart design to allow the rotation and offering simply enough resistance. The device is just 1.49 cm thick and weighs around 1.iii kg, which ways handling and carrying the device should be a cakewalk.

The new Envy is designed to plough heads, but HP has not skipped on ports and connectivity. The left side features a USB iii.1 Blazon A port, the headphone jack, power button, micro SD card slot and heat vents.

On the right you become a USB 3.ane Type-C port, another USB 3.i port, volume rocker and the charging port. In a higher place the keyboard are the speaker grills which also feature a distinct pattern and acquit the Blindside & Olufsen branding.

The Envy x360 xiii is not gunning for the crown of the thinnest laptop out there, but its sleek design, metallic build, and the stealthy dark paint job grant it a unique appeal which make it worthy of flaunting.

Display & Keyboard

The Envy x360 features a 13.3-inch edge-to-edge IPS display with 10-betoken multi-impact back up and a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Thanks to the tiny bezels, HP has managed to fit a 13.3-inch panel into a much smaller chassis, and has also covered the glass with Gorilla Glass for protection against modest scratches.

Above the display sits the HP Wide Vision HD IR webcam which enables Windows Hi login.

In my brief feel with the device, I institute the display to exist quite vibrant with punchy colors and deep blacks. Withal, I think the Envy x360'due south display is a fleck too reflective and the brightness also appeared to exist sub-par.

The laptop has an edge-to-edge backlit keyboard with a 6-row layout and has just the right amount of infinite betwixt the buttons to allow for a comfortable typing experience despite the modest size of the keys. The buttons offered a decent amount of travel, only the smaller dimension of the keyboard will take some time getting used to, especially if you are coming from a larger laptop.

The whole keyboard section is slightly recessed compared to the palm rest surface area, and the good thing is that there was no flex at all. In that location is a centrally-aligned trackpad below the display which is powered by the Windows Precision drivers and supports multi-finger gestures. The trackpad also has a metallic stop, and despite the lack of a glass surface, it registered the gestures without a hitch.

Pricing & Availability

The Envy x360'south Ryzen 3-powered model is priced at Rs. 60,990 while the more powerful Ryzen v model carries a price tag of Rs. 74,990. Both the variants are now upwardly for pre-guild from HP's official website, and if yous pre-book the device before October 25, you can become a free Envy Top Load purse worth Rs. 3,999.
