Reviews for the HP Envy 13-d014tu

80% HP Envy 13 review - HP's thinnest laptop yet
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
Overall, though, the HP Envy 13 is a bit of a mixed bag. Its design is great to look at, but it doesn’t necessarily hold up so well under closer scrutiny, especially when you put your hands on it. I found the keyboard, in particular, disappointing to use for prolonged periods, and its performance is also hindered by its chassis compared to similarly-specified laptops.

80% A gem of an ultraportable laptop, and it's well-priced, too

The HP Envy 13 gets a lot of things right. The design, the trackpad, the performance and the screen are all very good. Using this laptop is a real delight in most respects, its physical portability is fantastic and it has clearly been designed with a sensible budget in mind. It’s a good buy. There are a few issues, though. Unless use is very light, battery life is disappointing and the build quality is slightly less impressive than it at first appears – there’s some flex to the body, making it a bit less luxurious than you might expect looking at photos. Given the excellent combination of features, performance and value though, it’s only the battery life you need to really stop and think about before buying. The Asus UX305 lasts longer, and while that laptop lacks a backlit keyboard and some of the HP’s raw power, that might be enough to justify switching teams.

We wanted to love HP's thinnest laptop. It has all the hallmarks of greatness, almost MacBook Air physical specs, and a consistently well-performing new CPU. If you're looking for something that's light and portable with processor oomph coupled with an FHD screen then the Envy might just be for you. However, if you're moving from office to office or study to study without the chance of a recharge you might find yourself short-changed power-wise.

The HP Envy 13 is definitely a good laptop. Offering an all aluminum build, a beautiful matte display, good performance and a commendable battery life make it a very likeable package.

Model: The HP Envy 13-d014TU Notebook PC runs the latest Windows 10 Home (64-bit) operating system, which supports an extension of the Windows Runtime platform introduced by Windows 8 known as the Universal Windows Platform (UWP). This UWP emphasizes a core set of APIs common to all variations of the operating system, enabling the ability to code a single application with adaptations for various devices. The HP Envy 13-d014TU Notebook PC has features that work together to bring forth ultimate performance and supremacy. It comes with a 13.3-inch Full HD anti-glare LED display that delivers clear and vivid images. It is powered by the 6th generation Intel Core i7-6500U processor and 8 GB of RAM and the 256GB M.2 SATA-3 SSD offers a relatively fast boot time.

The fully aluminum build looks really beautiful from whichever angle you look at it. It is also the slimmest laptop HP has ever made and is just 1.29 cm thick and weighs just 1.27 kg. Its anti-glare Full HD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels provides sharp images, bold colors, and smooth video playback. The anti-glare display outdoor use in bright light possible. The island-style backlit keyboard features an easy to use layout. The arrow and direct function keys are all clearly separated making them easier to access and use. Moreover, the device comes with an imagepad for precise multi-touch gesture control. The keyboard is very well spaced with good ergonomics and placement techniques. The HP Envy 13-d014TU comes with built in dual speakers, Bluetooth 4.0, fingerprint reader, an HD webcam, dual array digital microphones, three USB 3.0 ports, and an SD card reader.

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.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  


6500U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


13.30":

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.


79.25%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
