Great review Andrew. It's a shame HP only offer one SKU here in Spain - Ryzen 5 with 8gb ram and the 300nit screen. In the UK they do the R7 with 16gb of ram but still only 300 nit screen. Nonetheless, I think I'll be getting the R7 version when I go back to the UK to see family in 2 weeks.
I bought last year's model (but 15') with an i7 and an MX150, I wish someone would review the model with the Ryzen 7, that one must be sick, specially because of the additional graphics horsepower
Been eying this laptop for a while, I remember the older model for this had horrible battery life so this is a massive improvement, nice review! Do you have any plans to review the new HP Envy 13t that comes with an MX350? This newer model has a 65wh battery, wheras previous models had a 50wh battery, meaning the performance improvement in battery life will be really interesting.
Great review, just ordered one. I don't know why anyone would pick the more expensive Spectre X360 over this (unless they really needed TB3 or an OLED screen). And the amazing thing is that HP's Envy line is supposed to be one step below their Spectre line.
Ive use spectre 2020 with FHD option for everyday light office use. if i have to choose again I still choose spectre over envy based on the design alone. not everyone need to squeeze all the the juice on their ultrabook. I just want to ultrabooks with elegant looks which sometimes comes handy as ice breakers small talk in office meeting.
You have 90k subscribers. It's really easy to turn on auto captions so people can read, it helps me when I want to watch videos in a quiet place. Just a tip.
Haha, your name is AMD. Good to see overall +/- points in final part of video to summarize this laptop. Beautiful to watch your video picture quality and clear sound.
Really good video with lots of detail. I will say one advice for the future. The Thumbnail is pretty bad. I think a bit of work on the thumbnails would go really far with this channel. Cheers for the quality info. Might be buying this laptop for school.
You're one of the very few if not only reviewer who actually opens the laptop to show upgradability and that is tremendously valuable, especially now that I'm looking to get a replacement battery and needed to get the model number from the battery itself. Suggestion: Can you make the resolution a bit higher on the text on the battery? That can help a lot of people get the right replacement battery part and further increase value in your videos, otherwise great job thanks.
Ordered the Ryzen 7 version on 30 Jun, unfortunately it's not due to arrive on the 20th July :(. In the mean time I'm really glad your review is positive so am very much looking forward to receiving it. Once again thank you for your coverage of the device! :)
I'm thinking of getting Ryzen 7 too (in September hopefully), would be glad to hear your follow-up on thermals and fan noise in light/medium load because the reviews online are not that consistent. Some say the fan is on all the time which is worrying me a little. Many thanks in advance, take care!
I did some research on Reddit, apparently the fan is baffling many, some suggest using it in the quiet mode, or even tinkering with BIOS and turning off "fan always on" option (Allegedly all new HP laptops come with this enabled). The only problem with the latter though is whether the fan kicks in in time to cool the internals when needed and then back to idle again. Anyone care to try?
Really love all the new AMD ultra books that are coming to the market but why all of them only seem to have 8 gigabytes of RAM ? Are companies worried that a highly specced AMD laptop would just kill all the intel counterparts ?
A C yeah, it’s a wonderful machine, I’m no expert though but comparing to the one I had previously this’s marvellous. I’ve access to some computers at work and other places as well and I think this one is great. Now I can draw some stuff at ease, I like doing cartoons and the like to tell a story and since I got this computer it’s making my life easier.
@@4everBarbz yeah it’s a marvel of a machine according to my end user feedback. It gives me a seamless user interface, the graphics are awesome, the battery ‘life’ has been excellent I can use it for hours without charge and many more things you can do you name it and so I think it’s a great buy & maybe the latest version will be more immersive. All the best.
I just ordered this laptop with the 15.6 inch screen. I was tempted to order a gaming laptop, but after seeing reviews for the Ryzen 5 4500u, I figured it was not needed. I am not a serious gamer but I watched this cpu play games & it is way more than decent even without a dedicated graphics card. I got mine for $599 at Walmart online & free shipping. I did a lot of research & this was the best value that I could find. I would have liked a bit more RAM, but then the price jumps, but 8 should be fine for me.
Its a great device. Got the 4500u model as soon as it was showing on HP's page. Replaced the ssd with a 1tb nvme one. It ticks all boxes for me - nearly.. Its compact, excellent build quality, freesync display, good audio. Great device. Only one complaint is that they could have made the cooler and thermals better. (Also has single heatpipe). It is fine when running at 15w (temps max around 60c) but at 25w, temps reach 85c+ when on load (and this is based on ambient room temp of around 20c). Thankfully with the efficiency of renoir, you can practically get same gaming performance and better at 12-15w as to what you would on a 3500u unit at 25w
Top notch review as always :) Any plans to review the Ideapad S540 (AMD and 16:10 display)? The Zenbook 14 with the MX350 is interesting too but some reviews claim it throttles the CPU down to 10 watts while others claim it runs fine. It has a single shared heat pipe to cool both so I'm assuming the former is true but I hope you can review it to validate.
How do you feel about the 15 inch screen? I’m debating between the 13 and the 15 and my main worry is the potential clunkiness of the 15 inch when using it as a tablet.
Only had it for 2 days now, didn't get to try out some graphically intense games yet. But from my daily usage it performs and feels very nice. Doesn't get too hot running in HP's recommended mode. (Have the 16 GB option)
Great Review ! top notch ... As for the webcam, i think it's outdated at 720P, especially in this day and age when people rely more on video conferencing. Not impressed with the video quality.
Question for anyone that owns a laptop that runs ryzen 4 or greater. How long do these laptops last? I'm looking to purchase the hp envy x360 nightfall running ryzen 5. Should I purchase it ? I've never owned a ryzen laptop only Intel.
Hi Andrew, I was wondering whether you know how big is the difference between the integrated graphics in the Ryzen 7 4700u and the Nvidia MX350? ASUS has the UM433IQ with Ryzen 4700 and Nvidia graphics so it seems like a better deal than this. Any thoughts?
I think it was in Just Josh's video about the Asus laptop where he mentioned that Adobe programs are not optimized for AMD's graphics card, but are for Intels graphics cards. So when exporting a video in Premier Pro, he got an error on the AMD. So if you use Adobe tools, do some more research.
Wow Andrew, thank you very much for the great review! You are definitely on a roll with these reviews of really good laptops, specially for productivity. I think this can definitely be my new development machine. If it had a better aspect ratio for productivity it would be almost "perfect". I'm going to check if there's a R5/16gb version.
@@andrewmarcdavid thank you! I've quickly went to see different configurations and looked at user reviews a lot positive but a lot also saying they have issues with screen flickering and wifi, just bad luck or on par for HP?
Thanks for the thorough review! Any chance you'd be reviewing the Lenovo Slim 7 anytime soon? I'm waiting for it before buying either it or the Envy x360. A local tech store in Finland has the Slim 7 listed to arrive next monday (the 13th).
This looks amazing. I am going to recommend this to my sister who is looking for a laptop under 1000 usd. She doesn't play games and mostly going to be using it for home productivity work! Looks slick! Thanks Andrew! Subscribed to your channel!!
You know Andrew, I just bought the 15.6inch version with ryzen 7 4700u, 1TB ssd,8gb, pen and dongle for $1099.00 Canadian.. Prety good. I was tempted with the 13inch version but at 59 years of age my eyesight isn't getting any better.. I will say that it's prety heavy(comming in at 1940g.). For me, at that price, still a great deal. Ho. Btw, the memory is socketted and upgradable. 👍
Great review! Thank you. I purchased it last week here in New Delhi, India for 1000 USD and am very happy I chose it over macbook air! This has amazing display (I got 400 nits model), good speed and battery life of around 9 hours which is enough to keep me going during an average work day. Also, my Samsung galaxy note 10 syncs seamlessly with this machine using 'link to windows'. Great going HP!
Excellent presentation and technical analysis . Agree x360 Ryzen 4500U is highly competitive both price , performance. I was not sure of AMD 4500U as opposed to Intel i5, but seems AMD has now hit the bar. I looked at HP Specter as well , but found it too glittering ; only other to compare with was DELL Inspiron 13 ...Thanks Andrew ..
How is the performance of the integrated graphics vs an MX350?
Před 4 lety
Awesome review as usual! I was waiting for the Acer Spin 5 for months and this came and it lloks sooó good for the price. Any plans on reviewing the probook 435 g7 x360? On paper it looks like it's the probook variant of this laptop, with some extra ports and upgradibitly for not much more.
I like your review and I learned a few things. I bought this same model you reviewed and really like it. I was pleasently surpirsed by the cpu power and I even played fortnite at 1080p. Very nice laptop indeed.
Great review, Andrew. Just one question: even though it doesn't have Thunderbolt 3, you can still connect it to an external monitor (4k, 60hz) via the USB C port and it will also support charging? Many thanks
Hey, USB-C in this laptop supports: - DisplayPort 1.4 up to 5 120 × 2 880 @60Hz - HDMI 2.0 up to 4 096 × 2 160 @60Hz - transfer speeds 10Gb/s - power delivery Hope this helped! 🙋🏼♂️
I like your review style 👍🏽. Next laptop review, please check if they support HDR. Try out the video you play for display testing for HDR support right here on CZcams while browsing on Microsoft Edge ( Chromium version ). If possible, give Netflix a HDR try as well. Thanks Andrew and my next laptop shall be my FIRST AMD just with the new 5000 series Zen 3
Nice review as always! Can I ask you a quick question Andrew??? I am starting medical school in 3 weeks, and I have been looking for a new laptop with at least 15" screen. What would you recommend among Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 15.6", Lenovo Yoga C940 2-in-1 15.6", HP Spectre 15.6" 4K, and MIcrosoft Surface Laptop 15" (Either i5-7 or Rhyzen 5-7) ??
I usually like your videos because you present the machine in a not that much technical way so even people that are not tech savvys like me can understand what you are doing ! Nice machine even considering all the cons ! I expect to see a review with the Rizen 7 - even though I cannot buy one ! :-( Thanks for the video and God bless you !
Nice review...I think HP has a real winner on their hands with this one! If I bought one I'd go with the AMD 4700 primarily because you can't get 16GB of RAM unless you go with the 4700. I'd also go with the 400 nit screen (same as what you reviewed vs 300 nit screen)......The only key downsides to me are the glossy screen (vendors, please learn from Lenovo and provide a good matte display option) and the good but not great battery life. I'd like to see a test that shows the battery life at full screen brightness. (BTW, Josh provided this battery metric in his last review on the Asus laptop...very helpful metric...I'm jussayin....). Cheers.
Brilliant review . Thanks Would you do me a favor and answer my very important question . Does its USB c port able to run for example 2 external hard drives, external monitor, mouse, keyboard and may be an ex speaker in the same time?. Another way to my question I don't need to carry a USB c hub that need's power to run but I need to carry a very tiny USB c with mulitiple outs (HDMI, AUX, USB A ....) in may bag and to be able to run all these things through this labtop's USB c on the go. Does its USB c has this much power or wattage? or how much the limit for this labtop or all labtops if there is a general answer for all type C's? . Thanks again and I'm waiting your answer kindlly.
As you know if the surface pen has MPP (2.0) and not MPP (1.5). Because I'm looking for information on this and can't find it. Do you have any source? I would appreciate.
Would you recommend this for someone wanting to learn graphic design and small online business or e-commerce softwares ? Also how would it be this vs MacBook Air m1 ?
This Envy(from Walmart) vs the Flex 5(from Amazon) at the the same price of $599 ....I think this takes the cake. The build quality seems far better , it's 0.5 lbs lighter, it's way better looking and the screen just obliterates the Flex 5....along with the Acer Swift 3 's weak screen. These advantages more than covers for it's 8 gb ram vs Flex 5's 16gb. These new AMD chips are absolutely amazing...I'm excited to see what's coming out next. A Ryzen 7 with a good Radeon GPU would be devastating... Edit...the $599 x360 from Walmart is actually the 15 inch version and heavier...A review says the 8gb ram is upgradable though.
Hii i am a student how much space should my laptop have I will be going to do a little bit of light gaming and no video or photo editing. Is this laptop right for me Pls reply
Not sure if it's available where you are but hp offers a student discount here so take advantage if it if you can, I got 10% off the laptop and about 35% off the pen.
Hey, Andrew! Good to see you again. Love the awesome review🤛🏾. The rest ain't got nothin' on you. The new Envy is really a beauty. Hope you're well and staying safe.
@@andrewmarcdavid it truly is a remarkable performer, and I really like the sweet spot balance HP has been having in the thermals/performance ratios when compared specifically to Lenovo and Dell. I'm really looking to the long-term Flex and Dex app reviews, btw. I very nearly chose the Flex but was already leaning towards the Spectre - that Q-LED display, the S-pen and the class-leading battery life almost had me hook, line and sinker
This laptop hits the sweet spot. Good performance nice display all day battery life all in a quality light weight chassis .You can get laptops with higher performance & better screen but don't expect battery life anywhere near this.
AMD is killing it - I got a Matebook with AMD 5 - 16 GB of RAM & 512 Pcie - it fly by the tasks - of course not for gaming i use It only for my work - Awesome keyboard and fast booting - Really really good for students and business pro- I travel a lot and its very impressive.
So far I'm really liking my hp x360, but I've noticed a small defect in the left hinge. Its slightly uneven and not flush with the body. You can only really notice it when the laptop is closed so I guess its not a big deal? just a small issue with quality control. I've only had mine for a day.
**NOTES** RAM is dual channel for those wondering.
Any 4800u will be available?
I don't have any information
Oh... So 8gb dual channel? That's good enough. Thanks 😊
@@andrewmarcdavid it comes with hp pen gen 1 ? Gen 2 is sold apart?
Hi Andrew does the 8 GB and 16 GB Ram have much difference for editing
"Intel should be worried" says the guy with AMD as his initials

It's true though ^^
wow
Woah this just made me realize my initials is amd too

Seriously, this channel is underrated.
Exactly
It won't remain so for long.
I really don't know why anyone would want intel at this point. AMD is not only a better value but flat out less expensive
Oled and Thunderbolt for now.

The value is so much better than the Spectre :( (I have the Spectre)

Brilliant review very informative and entertaining. On my Envy X360 right now got it yesterday. Absolutely love it a gorgeous powerful 2 in 1.
Enjoy it
How is the performance of the integrated graphics vs an MX350?
Awesome review as usual!
I was waiting for the Acer Spin 5 for months and this came and it lloks sooó good for the price.
Any plans on reviewing the probook 435 g7 x360?
On paper it looks like it's the probook variant of this laptop, with some extra ports and upgradibitly for not much more.
Fyi: The ram is NOT soldered. It has two distinct slots, thus you can upgrade accordingly,

True i got mine and am using it for my music recording never had a problem .
I like your review and I learned a few things. I bought this same model you reviewed and really like it. I was pleasently surpirsed by the cpu power and I even played fortnite at 1080p. Very nice laptop indeed.
Thanks for this nice video. the Huawei matebook 13 2020 edition is out, I like to see if you can review it.
I'm so excited my dad just bought me one for school! Big upgrade from an i3 8th gen acer aspire 5!!!
I'm looking for the Envy x360 15 2020 could you please review it and compare for other brands for the same price?
Great review, Andrew. Just one question: even though it doesn't have Thunderbolt 3, you can still connect it to an external monitor (4k, 60hz) via the USB C port and it will also support charging?
Many thanks
Hey, USB-C in this laptop supports:
- DisplayPort 1.4 up to 5 120 × 2 880 @60Hz
- HDMI 2.0 up to 4 096 × 2 160 @60Hz
- transfer speeds 10Gb/s
- power delivery
Hope this helped! 🙋🏼♂️
@@filiprandjak9715 awesome, thank you!
@@filiprandjak9715 charging over usb-c too
@@itsepocx yes that's what "power delivery" basically means hehe 🙂
Hey Andrew, how are you? Thanks for the review, great as always!
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
Getting the R7 16GB 512GB version with Pro and comes with the new pen. I'm excited!
Thanks for the review ! I'm buying it right now.
Thank you for the recommendation
I like your review style 👍🏽. Next laptop review, please check if they support HDR. Try out the video you play for display testing for HDR support right here on CZcams while browsing on Microsoft Edge ( Chromium version ). If possible, give Netflix a HDR try as well. Thanks Andrew and my next laptop shall be my FIRST AMD just with the new 5000 series Zen 3
Can you make a review of the Dell Inspiron 14 2 in 1 AMD. It's amazing. Please.
How is the 4500U model for 1080p video editing?
Wow i didn't expect it has the same thickness as the xps. I always admire the design of xps. Thankss
Idk why they don't put simcard insert in 2in 1 laptops
Thanks for the great review! Is this good enough for 1080p video editing with the 8gb RAM and onboard graphics? TIA
Nice review as always! Can I ask you a quick question Andrew??? I am starting medical school in 3 weeks, and I have been looking for a new laptop with at least 15" screen. What would you recommend among Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 15.6", Lenovo Yoga C940 2-in-1 15.6", HP Spectre 15.6" 4K, and MIcrosoft Surface Laptop 15" (Either i5-7 or Rhyzen 5-7) ??
Just bought it and love it!
Nice!
Andrew Marc David I bought the 15 inch. It is heavy, but who cares? It’s solid and lightning quick.
Nice review Andrew 👍🏼 keep up. I am really waiting your review of the new Lenovo ideapad5 14 with Ryzen 4000 series (not 2 in 1 laptop)
I will try!
I usually like your videos because you present the machine in a not that much technical way so even people that are not tech savvys like me can understand what you are doing !
Nice machine even considering all the cons !
I expect to see a review with the Rizen 7 - even though I cannot buy one ! :-(
Thanks for the video and God bless you !
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
Nice review...I think HP has a real winner on their hands with this one! If I bought one I'd go with the AMD 4700 primarily because you can't get 16GB of RAM unless you go with the 4700. I'd also go with the 400 nit screen (same as what you reviewed vs 300 nit screen)......The only key downsides to me are the glossy screen (vendors, please learn from Lenovo and provide a good matte display option) and the good but not great battery life. I'd like to see a test that shows the battery life at full screen brightness. (BTW, Josh provided this battery metric in his last review on the Asus laptop...very helpful metric...I'm jussayin....). Cheers.
Great points 👍
sadly soldered ram and no 16gb option for ryzen 5 :(
the ryzen 7 with 16gb is a very nice option! I am sure there isnt much difference in single core performance...
if they didnt do it how they would sell the R7 lol
I bought it at best buy for 580. And it's the 15 inch screen. Really pleased with it. And great review
Brilliant review . Thanks
Would you do me a favor and answer my very important question . Does its USB c port able to run for example 2 external hard drives, external monitor, mouse, keyboard and may be an ex speaker in the same time?. Another way to my question I don't need to carry a USB c hub that need's power to run but I need to carry a very tiny USB c with mulitiple outs (HDMI, AUX, USB A ....) in may bag and to be able to run all these things through this labtop's USB c on the go. Does its USB c has this much power or wattage? or how much the limit for this labtop or all labtops if there is a general answer for all type C's? . Thanks again and I'm waiting your answer kindlly.
Which one should I buy.... Spectre or envy... I am so confused
Amazing review 👍
thanks for the video, I'm looking forward for this laptop, and now I'm 100% sure that this is the one
Great review. Thanks 👍
As you know if the surface pen has MPP (2.0) and not MPP (1.5). Because I'm looking for information on this and can't find it. Do you have any source?
I would appreciate.
Would you recommend this for someone wanting to learn graphic design and small online business or e-commerce softwares ? Also how would it be this vs MacBook Air m1 ?
This Envy(from Walmart) vs the Flex 5(from Amazon) at the the same price of $599 ....I think this takes the cake. The build quality seems far better , it's 0.5 lbs lighter, it's way better looking and the screen just obliterates the Flex 5....along with the Acer Swift 3 's weak screen. These advantages more than covers for it's 8 gb ram vs Flex 5's 16gb. These new AMD chips are absolutely amazing...I'm excited to see what's coming out next. A Ryzen 7 with a good Radeon GPU would be devastating...
Edit...the $599 x360 from Walmart is actually the 15 inch version and heavier...A review says the 8gb ram is upgradable though.
Does this amd version come in 15inch model and will it be good for programming or do you recommend any other for programming
Great review as usual .... When would the review of dell 9510 come out?
Day or so
Hii i am a student how much space should my laptop have I will be going to do a little bit of light gaming and no video or photo editing.
Is this laptop right for me
Pls reply
Minimum of 256 GB. Preferably 512GB or above
@@andrewmarcdavid thanks you for the reply
@@andrewmarcdavid love your video keep upgrading us ♥️♥️
Not sure if it's available where you are but hp offers a student discount here so take advantage if it if you can, I got 10% off the laptop and about 35% off the pen.
Hey, Andrew! Good to see you again. Love the awesome review🤛🏾. The rest ain't got nothin' on you. The new Envy is really a beauty. Hope you're well and staying safe.
Hey, thanks Paul! I really like this offering from HP!
@@andrewmarcdavid it truly is a remarkable performer, and I really like the sweet spot balance HP has been having in the thermals/performance ratios when compared specifically to Lenovo and Dell. I'm really looking to the long-term Flex and Dex app reviews, btw. I very nearly chose the Flex but was already leaning towards the Spectre - that Q-LED display, the S-pen and the class-leading battery life almost had me hook, line and sinker
Awesome review man!
thank you .you really helped)
Absolutely great review keep it up.
Great review! I'm thinking about getting the R7. In your opinion, do you think that model will thermal throttle / overheat?
Probably not
This laptop hits the sweet spot. Good performance nice display all day battery life all in a quality light weight chassis .You can get laptops with higher performance & better screen but don't expect battery life anywhere near this.
AMD is killing it - I got a Matebook with AMD 5 - 16 GB of RAM & 512 Pcie - it fly by the tasks - of course not for gaming i use It only for my work - Awesome keyboard and fast booting - Really really good for students and business pro- I travel a lot and its very impressive.
nice ,smooth and efficient ,and very long battery life. go for it.
Fantastic review as always
Is this a good choice for some video/photo editing
Matt Mildvex thanks I was thinking of buying a zen book 15 with 1650 from like 9 months ago but they removed it so I might get this instead
Yes, definitely
So far I'm really liking my hp x360, but I've noticed a small defect in the left hinge. Its slightly uneven and not flush with the body. You can only really notice it when the laptop is closed so I guess its not a big deal? just a small issue with quality control.
I've only had mine for a day.
