Its screen is bordered by a rather large bezel, roughly comparable to the one Asus is using. It may be thin, but the laptop isn’t especially small when compared to the XPS 13. The keys and the bezel are both plastic, but the rest of the computer is metal, and it manages to be impressively thin (0.5 inches at its thickest point) while still feeling sturdy. With the exception of the display bezel, everything from the lid to the base to the palmrest to the keycaps are all made of uncolored aluminum. Specs at a glance: HP Envy 13Ģ.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-6200U (Turbo up to 2.8GHz)ģx USB 3.0, HDMI, SD card reader, headphonesġ2.85" × 8.9" × 0.51" (326.4 mm × 226 mm × 12.95 mm)ĭell, Lenovo, Asus, and others all tend to work with a darker color palette in their laptop designs (even Apple uses black keyboards), but the Envy is predominantly silver. The Envy 13 is another Ultrabook in the post-MacBook Air mold, so you should already know what you’re getting into: thin and light with respectable but not groundbreaking computing power and few-if any-upgradeable parts. There are a few things about it that keep it from unseating our favorites, but it still offers some appealing features for people unhappy with a few of the UX305C’s tradeoffs. The $799 model includes many of the same specs as the ZenBook we like but throws in a backlit keyboard and full-fledged Core i5 and i7 CPUs. The Asus Zenbook UX305C and Dell XPS 13 are two of our favorite thin-and-light laptops right now, the former because it represents a good value at $700 and the latter because it’s a slick, lightweight machine with plenty of high-end features.īut there’s some room in between those two, and that’s where HP’s Envy 13 comes in.
