Reviews for the HP Envy 13-ad142ng
Source: KL Gadget Guy Archive.org version
Overall HP has produced in my opinion, one of the best-looking ultrabooks out there with its sleek profile and specs to match it, making it a really strong competitor in the ultrabook market. Sure there might be some minor flaws in the build of the laptop but it is by far one of the first ultrabooks that comes with a dedicated graphics chip and that itself should place it in a league of its own. But just like all ultrabooks, there is a hefty price tag of RM5499, if the price is not an issue to you, then the Envy 13 will be one of the newer ultrabooks that you should look out for.

At the end of the day, the HP Envy 13 is still a very interesting productivity-focused laptop with very respectable gaming performance. Currently, it is also the only 13-inch laptop with an MX150 GPU; this factor alone makes it a very compelling ultraportable for those who want to do more than just productivity tasks.

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.
