The HP Envy 13 has a great screen, solid components and a good keyboard. Combine this with lower price of the Core i5 model and you've got a decent everyday ultraportable. But several rivals are better in other areas when you hit the higher specs.

Take the Nvidia GPU out of the equation and the Envy is still a very compelling package, offering a good display and keyboard, great battery life and a decent sound system all wrapped up in a stylish, solid and compact body. It’s an easy recommendation.
