The key takeaway from these two laptops is that for their price point, you do get a lot of bang for your buck. Obviously there are better laptops out there but for what they offer, I won't quibble too much. The HP Envy 14 and 16 do have minor differences so as Andrew states, choose wisely to make sure you get the right one that will fit your needs. They both have beautiful OLED displays, clear webcams as well as internal mics, the 14" can be specked out at 32GB of soldered RAM at checkout while the 16" can only be specked out at 16GB of soldered RAM unfortunately. The Wifi card on the 14" variant has Wifi 7 while the 16" variant comes out of the box with Wifi 6E although you can switch it out if you choose. The speakers on the 16" sounds louder and fuller than the speakers on the 14" variant however. In conclusion, if I were to choose one over the other, the one I would select is the 14" variant due to the 32GB of RAM and Wifi 7 which is more future proof than on the 16" variant. Brilliant review Andrew!! 👍😁

This is far better review than vast majority on yt. I wish you MEASURED everyday usage fan noise as well. Like, play a yt video, or a browser script.

Overall HP did a good job for Envy this year. One problem with HP is that they removed the remaining time from the battery display. Please check this with Envy's laptop. Thank you Andrew for the nice review.

I'm from Iran. Your videos are better than aney others,very usefull without any fancies or show off things, you helpt me to choose the best laptop for me, thanks a lot gentleman, you are awsome 💐 great wishes

Do you have leaderboard list for all laptops you have reviewed this year?

Great review as alwyas. For Envy intel version of both 14 and 16 models, strangely, HP is offering both Core Ultra U series and H series and that's making things a bit confusing to pick the correct one. You probably should do another review of the 14" model with 125H or 155H .

I wanted to love the Envy 14 so much. For me it was nearly perfect, except for one thing: the speakers caused so much vibration around the mousepad. I know it’s picky but it’s so distracting. Drove me crazy and sent mine back :(

Nice laptops. Camera and mics good. Display good. These are two reasonably priced units that would be good for students and other day users. Excellent quality reviews as always.

Nice review, thank you! Now how this one compare to 14" Zenbook? The display definitely has more resolution but is the same quality? Convertibility is bonus as well. But what about overall quality?

I'll have to pass on these models since they don't have the page up/down/end/home on the right side of the keyboard. Those keys make it real easy to scroll up/down webpages, especially for people who have arthritis.

If that’s your only dealbreaker, you could add a USB or Bluetooth number pad to it, and just leave the Num Lock off so you can use the home/end and page up/down keys on it instead. I certainly wish they included the keys on the laptop and am in no way defending them, but that’s an alternative for people who absolutely need those keys and opens up your options a lot

finally improved darker envy with readable keyboard

Thank you again, Andrew. I bought an AMD Envy 15" 2in1 in 2022 based on your review and I am generally, very happy. I use a small monitor but would like higher resolution. I try to watch all of your reviews of similar products. I like your review of the AM 16" Imax you recently posted. The price is great BUT should I wait till 2025 to take "advantage" of AI, CoPilot and the new processors and more RAM perhaps. I typically use the PC for business tasks but I often have 15 or more windows open, 2 or more Spread Sheets, Quickbooks and several browser windows as well

Hinges strong?

its quite weird the space bar is not backlit

I’ve had 2 hp envy x360’s in recent years, and on both the hinges have broken, a known manufacturing fault, on one the motherboard died twice, once in warranty, then recently again. So £900ish wasted. No product recall that I know of, beware of hp build quality

Great review. Cheers!

Also struggling between the two. The Envy comes with an "U" processor while the Acer SFG 14 comes with a "H" meaning the envy has lower power for better battery life.

What about the screen-door effect on these displays, do these have it like the Spectre x360s?

What material is the backside made from? For me it is really difficult to see if convertibles are made out of aluminum or plastic...

How about the hinge? I heard that hp envy hinge breaks easily.

if the AMD processor caps out at 16 GB like he claimed (which is surprising as the minimum is usually 32 at this point in time), and because the RAM is soldered, and because 32 GB isn't that much more expensive than 16 GB, IMO it is worth spending a little more to make sure the laptop lasts longer and runs better over that time period.

I just got the HP Spectre 16 for drawing (it was on sale for less than the 16 inch at Best Buy with the same RAM configuration but with an RTX 4050 at 50 - 55 watts, which HP is not listing, violating Nvidia's OEM requirements to list TGP, and half the SSD space, from 2 TB to 1 TB, but at least it can be replaced). That is going to be my tablet tomorrow. Unfortunately, not only was the 14 inch more expensive, but it also lacks an HDMI port and doesn't have good GPU performance for what I plan to do on it (even a lower wattage RTX 4050 runs curcles arouns the Intel Arc iGPUs). I can take the hit in battery life in this case from the 14 to the 16. But compared to the XPS 14/16, it's no contest; the Spectres are better for pretty much everything apart from RAM (64 GB max on the XPS but 32 GB on the Spectres, both soldered) but its way too expensive on the XPS to get that much RAM and they have too many other issues like the keyboard, touch row, touchpad, and other QC issues, for far more than the Spectres or Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i (for the 16 inch XPS). The Envys and most Windows laptops would be even better if they didn't replace the right control key (which I use a lot) with the useless for me CoPilot key; if they just added it between the control and alt keys like Lenovo did, then that wouls be much more acceptable. (Still annoying though!) I hope Dell learns from the Envys and Spectres and completely redoes the XPS laptops, because they're straight up trash for the price this year compared to every other laptop.

When will there be a screen protector for these particular laptop? I've searched on amazon, but could not find one that fitted. please tell me where I can find one.

Why are they limiting RAM so much and soldering them to motherboard while proc manufacturer is declaring up to 96GB? I have x360 ryzen 7 from 2021 originally bought with 16GB, but that's not enough especially with shared RAM for graphics. Win 11 on idle takes up half, not to mention if you have additional programs on startup. Photoshop and illustrator would often run out of RAM and die. I've upgraded to 64GB and it runs great, usually I am around 50% of used RAM, on bigger loads 75% (with 2 adobe open). Downside of this laptop is LCD FHD with 300nits. I really like my current Envy but need to buy another laptop and wanted to get newer, better ENVY or Spectre, but now....I don't know if I will. NOW I am looking for an Envy or Spectre with OLED 4k (or at least 2.5k), new gen proc, dedicated grapics, and now, we have 32GB sodered RAM max? Sodered? 32 max? For ~€2000? What a miss HP. And btw, HP has a configurable website for US, but another (really bad) unconfigurable website for EU. And to top it all, EU prices are seem to be higher than US. Please Andrew, check on this and reach out to them and ask for upgradable RAM on next update at least.

battery life and sound voice is very low in 14

So which port will be used up for charging ?

Hi sir can u please tell whether Hp envy x360 intel evo platform ultra 5 125u can be used for good photoshop and coraldraw work

Loved your review, like usual! ❤ I have a question though. Do you know why HP doesn't include the battery management settings on their Envy and Spectre laptops? It seems kind of strange that it's available on their business laptops but not their consumer ones. Maybe with your connect you could reach out to HP and see what they say?

I had the 14 inch HP Envy x360 for about a year before one of the hinges spontaneously broke. I took it out of my backpack one day and when I opened it up the hinge had broken and cracked my screen. Unfortunately a repair for the damage wasn't worth keeping the laptop, so I had to buy a completely new laptop that does not have the kind of hinges the HP laptops have. The design of the hinges is flawed and many other owners have complained of the same issue. Personally, I would not recommend this laptop because of that specific issue, but otherwise I loved my laptop and I am disappointed I had to replace it.

I hve no idea if that means anything in 2024, but clearly HP CAN make a sturdy hinge. After 6 years, keyboard has started failing though, and it's glued. There are still parts to buy, but I'm thinking it' time to replace. Though, Zen 5 is coming soon.. Then again, Envy is a dead line now, so who knows if there will even be an equivalent device.
