Reviews for the HP Envy 15-w001na x360
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
The HP Envy x360 is a decent little machine for £600, although when you consider that it costs more than significantly more powerful general-purpose laptops and weighs nearly as much to boot, it's a very hard sell indeed. As far as 15.6in convertible laptops go, it's not expensive, but it doesn't offer anything outstanding in the way of screen, performance, design or battery life.
