HP ENVY x360 15-cn0000 [15-CN0010UR 4GW54EA]

Stylish transformer

HP has seriously thought about how the perfect modern laptop should look like. The result of these conclusions was the HP ENVY x360 convertible laptop.

It looks strict and minimalist, but not boring. A brushed aluminium base with geometric patterned cutouts for the speaker grille and air ducts adds to the visual appeal. The most important difference between Envy and its colleagues in the premium segment is the ability to turn into a tablet. Given the relatively small size and weight, it is quite convenient to work with the transformer in tablet mode. Although after the usual 10-inch tablets it will take time to get used to.

Quality touch screen

The 15-inch touch screen is made on the basis of a high-quality IPS-matrix (1920 × 1080 resolution) and boasts excellent viewing angles, good responsiveness, rich colours and high contrast. In general, the screen leaves a pleasant impression, and the bezel-less design with black borders adds to its appeal.

Powerful hardware

The laptop is powered by an eighth-generation Core i7 quad-core chip, which is paired with 12 GB of DDR4 RAM and a mid-range GeForce MX150 graphics card. The picture is completed by a bunch of 1000 GB HDD and 128 GB SSD. On the one hand, such a disk array provides maximum flexibility in work, on the other hand, given the considerable price of a laptop, engineers could put one 512 GB SSD. Still, the laptop is not a gaming laptop and a few terabytes of free space will be needed. And so the model could be a little faster and a little lighter.

13 hours battery life

In general, the laptop turned out to be really successful with many advantages and extremely minor drawbacks. In addition to excellent battery life (up to 13 hours on a single charge), fast charging, a fingerprint scanner and a quiet cooling system, Bang & Olufsen branded acoustics are among the pluses of the model. You can watch movies and videos on Youtube without resorting to headphones. Even heavy guitar music is pulled out quite decently.
