The latest mid-range 13.3-inch convertible from HP could easily pass as a flagship Spectre offering. It does a lot of things right to be a worthwhile sub-$1000 laptop with only a handful of annoyances to keep in mind.

If I was still commuting regularly on a bus or train, the HP Envy x360 13 two-in-one laptop would be on my shortlist. It would also be a top consideration if I were shopping for an older high school or college student. It's small, stylish and light at just less than 3 pounds (1.3 kg). Battery life is long despite the size. And the AMD Ryzen 5-4500U processor delivered performance beyond that of pricier Intel chips. Add in fast Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 and, essentially, you're getting a speedy little two-in-one that's ready for working from home or remote learning but is also ready for your backpack.

The HP Envy x360 13 is one of only a handful of Ryzen 4000-based laptops we’ve reviewed, but it reinforces a sea change we’re seeing in performance available to consumers. You are literally getting premium CPU and graphics performance that would typically cost you two to three hundred dollars more with an Intel CPU. For example, last year’s Intel-based Envy x360 13 with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage cost roughly the same $800 as this current Ryzen-based model, but the newer model far outstrips the older in CPU performance. You’re also getting a laptop that hits many right notes in fit and finish. It’s not perfect by far, but this is overall an impressive laptop at a great price.

In terms of battery life, the Envy was able to run for nearly seven hours of web browsing. Additionally, we found the design both attractive and functional, from the super slim keyboard to the large trackpad. All in all, we couldn't be more thrilled with this model's ability to do it all, noting that it would be difficult to find a better laptop in this price range.

The HP Envy x360 is an affordable and versatile all-rounder that looks superb, has solid build quality and smooth movement, and it’s barely heavier or thicker than more expensive and conventional laptops.

One of the first laptops to sport AMD's latest fourth-generation Ryzen U-series processors, the HP Envy x360 13 (starts at $679.99) combines above-average computing performance with a thin, light, and stylish chassis. It also includes a convenient automatic webcam privacy filter, a high-quality screen, and a comfortable keyboard. Ringing up at $889.99 in our Ryzen 5-based test model with all of these features, the Envy x360 13 is also a good value, clinching our Editors' Choice award for best midrange 2-in-1 convertible laptop.

That's actually the unit that I'm going to recommend. For $799, the unit that HP sent me is a great deal, but 16GB of RAM just puts you in a better place, and it future-proofs your PC a bit more. Considering that it's still wildly inexpensive for something that feels so premium at under a thousand dollars, I say go for the Ryzen 7 4700U with 16GB RAM.

Reviews of budget and midrange laptops are often a question of what you’re trading off for that lower price point. I’ve pointed out some places where the Envy doesn’t quite measure up to the best laptops on the market (the dimmer screen, the wobblier hinge, the aspect ratio, the video editing troubles), but the only reason we’re even having that discussion is that this laptop feels like it’s competing with the top of the line. Between the Envy x360 and other $800 laptops, there’s no contest. This is aiming at the big leagues; this is a Spectre.

With that said, the Envy x360 13 gets my highest recommendation. It's the perfect laptop for those who want a premium notebook at an affordable price and is as good or better than many laptops that cost hundreds more.

The Envy starts at $649. It’s s 13.3” Ultrabook with an aluminum casing, and it’s one of the smallest 13” laptops and light at 2.92 lb. / 1.32kg. It has 360 degree hinges and is a convertible laptop supporting touch and pen (pen not included). The PC has USB-A, USB-C ports and a microSD card slot. It has DDR 3200MHz dual channel RAM and an M.2 NVMe SSD. It competes with the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 and is the more affordable yet still classy alternative to the HP Spectre x360.

HP Envy x360 13 (13-ay0000) has a touchscreen display with an IPS panel (Innolux N133 HCG-GF3 (CMN139D)), a Full HD resolution, high maximum brightness, very good contrast ratio, and comfortable viewing angles. It also doesn’t use PWM above 112 nits (below that value the frequency is very high and generally safe). Also, the laptop covers 96% of the sRGB color gamut, and our Gaming and Web design profile greatly improves the already decent color accuracy. Designers will be happy for sure. And it comes with a dedicated stylus inside the box.

If you need a touch-capable 13-inches with good specs and decent battery life, the Envy x360 13 (13-ay1000) may be the device for you. However, there are a few things you need to know before making a purchase choice. First, there is the build quality. Although it looks stunning, the chassis of the device is not very stable. Moreover, it registers ghost clicks when you twist the lid. Then come the upgrade options. Or the lack thereof. Here, the memory is soldered to the motherboard, and we currently have information only about configurations of up to 16GB, which may be a limiting factor, should you work mainly on videos. On the other hand, HP Envy x360 13 (13-ay1000)’s touchscreen IPS panel has an exceptionally high maximum brightness, an excellent contrast ratio, and a pretty high color coverage (96% of sRGB). Ultimately, the high maximum brightness is ideal for outdoor use, however, because of the Sure View technology, the viewing angles are not great. Even when the setting is disabled. Moreover, the panel uses aggressive PWM for brightness adjustment.
