HP Envy x360 Convertible Laptop 15z-eu000 touch
The power of Ryzen in a sleek convertible, starting at $719
The Envy x360 remains one of our favorite laptops, earning its score of 85 in our review, and this Ryzen-powered model currently on offer for $719 (usually $870) features a more powerful APU than the one in the review unit.
As we've come to expect from HP, the Envy x360 features a light and sleek chassis that can be used as a traditional laptop, a tablet, or in tent mode for watching videos/playing games. At the heart of this machine sits the mighty Zen 2-based 7nm Ryzen 7 5700U, complete with its 8 cores/16 threads and 4.3GHz boost clock. You can expect the chip's performance to rival that of Intel's Core i7-10875H. Graphics, meanwhile are provided by the APU's integrated Radeon RX Vega 8 GPU with its 8 CUs and up to 1900 MHz.
The Envy x360's base model comes with a 15.6-inch IPS full-HD multi-touch screen capable of 250 nits brightness, 8GB RAM, and 256GB PCIe NVMe M.2 storage, though you can upgrade this to a 400 nit screen (+$80), 16GB RAM (+$80), and a 512GB M2. SSD (+$60).
