    i'm obsessed with mine. I was able to get it for £400 / 460 euros in the black friday sales. The only problem i have with it is the sound. Sometimes i find that even on full volume, it's not loud enough. But the problem is instantly solved when plugging in headphones. This laptop is a tablet and laptop in 1, and feels luxury considering i only paid £400 for it, i call that a win.

      Ayyy Same here. For 400 euros I'd say it's a good mid range laptop. Compared to laptops 600-800 euros+
      Enjoy your new laptop!!

    Ive had a Hp Pavillion 360 for 6 years now and yet i only started having problems with for a year and half ago after i dropped it and dislodged the charging port so it doesn't charge or stay charge if i do get to 100% dead in like 30 minutes, but outside of the charging problems, i dont actually have any issues with it, which is a huge disappointment when compared to newer models, i keep hearing all the issues everyone are having with their Pavillions or just newer laptops in general and i am baffled that the problems mainly stem from how they took certain mechanisms out that i see are extremely helpful in mine. Like how can mine look better in comparison. Im still looking for a repaire shop that would fix the charger port but they're all charging me $1000+ for it when i could get a new one for much less. Getting the physical charger port fixed wont automatically fix the charging issue the battery drainage cuz thats gonna happen with all electronics eventually but i no longer want to jiggle the charger until it finds the port to connect it and pray that i dont accidentally shift it where it wont charge until i jiggle it in place again.

    Ive had an HP Pavilion for few years now, all I can tell you is that if you let it sit in sleep mode for too many days, it will be easier to wake up an old Egyptian mummy.....and if you do it wont run properly for awhile. And it wont update while its asleep, it will only do it after you wake it up and really need to use it.....then it can be another 30-45 minutes. I hope the newer ones have worked out these "idiosyncrasies".....

Screen, cpu, and pen are all good and its pretty quiet my only suggestions are get the 400 nit screen and 16GB ram upgrades, theyll make the laptop experience a lot better

So I decided to fix it by myself purchasing another keyboard and a cousin installed it and it was OK for 3 or 4 months until it stopped functioning again... What a waste of money buying that laptop

      when i was deciding...the asus got a bit hot (after 10 mins in the store), the keyboard backlight looked uneven & they only had a shitty dark blue available. so i chose the hp x360...not as good battery life, but happy with everything else (silver, stays cool, looks awesome). 99% of the time, the asus is superior, but this time i went for aesthetics. plus, the vivobook is equivalent to the pavilion...the zenbook (wow, awesome) is equivalent to the envy. but both pricier. next year i can consider the spectre x360 vs zenbook flip...who will have a white or silver model by then? ha ha 🙏🏽
      oh...& don't go 16" or 15.6"...try the 14" or 13.3" models...unless you have poor eyesight or really need a numpad.

      The envy is a more premium variant of the x360 series. It depends on your budget, I would imagine unless there is a sale this is the more budget friendly option. If money is not an issue the envy usually comes with superior build quality and display specs.
