Reviews for the HP Envy 13-d007tu

75% HP Envy 13 Review
Source: Techspot Archive.org version
There are some deficiencies to the Envy 13, in particular its display, but it does offer good value to consumers looking for a well-designed laptop in the $800 to $1,000 laptop market. The fact you can get a Core i5 CPU with a QHD+ display for just $849 is particularly compelling, and models around that price point are the sweet spot for HP’s ultrathin laptop.

Model: The HP Envy 13-d007tu is an ultraportable laptop designed to meet everyday needs on the go. The design is sleek, elegant and well-built with solid aluminium and magnesium. The Windows 10 64-bit system comes with a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i3-6100U processor, 4 GB DDR3L-1600 SDRAM, an Intel HD Graphics 520, and a 128 GB Solid State Drive. Its 13.3 inch anti-glare IPS display features Full HD resolution and a WLED backlight. Images and text are clear and crisp with good color saturation. The keyboard features a backlight and the keys are well-spaced. It does not include a DVD drive but there is a multi-format SD media card reader.

Connectivity includes three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, and a headphone and microphone combo jack. As far as security management is concerned, the laptop also comes with an HP SimplePass Fingerprint Reader and a Kensington MicroSaver lock slot. Moreover the HP Envy 13-d007tu features a front facing HP TrueVision HD webcam with integrated dual array digital microphone. The laptop is travel friendly with its light weight of 1.3 kg and HP claims that the battery life can last up to 10 hours.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
