日本[Specs and Info] HP ENVY 16 (16-h0000) – Looks good on paper, let’s hope cooling is decent
The ENVY series from HP can fulfill a lot of different tasks, from business and office work to complex video rendering, design, and productivity.
Today we have a very well-equipped machine, with a large 16-inch display, Alder Lake H-series processors, and a decent selection of graphics, both for gamers and creators. It’s neither the thinnest, nor the lightest notebook, but considering the hardware inside, we’re satisfied.
The HP Envy 16 comes in with a starting price of $1,399.99, for which you can get some very powerful gaming laptops, some of which have been getting very similar to office devices, in terms of design.
Today we’re giving you a quick overview of the HP ENVY 16 (16-h0000).
HP ENVY 16 (16-h0000): Full Specs
Design
The laptop comes with an aluminum body, while the design takes some inspiration from the OMEN series. The chassis has a smooth anodized finish, with sharp edges and rounded corners. The backside has a glossy HP logo, while the base houses the keyboard, which is flanked by a pair of speaker grills. Where it resembles the OMEN laptops is with the keyboard deck, which sits slightly lower than the wrist rest area. The laptop remains nimble, despite the 16-inch chassis, weighing 2.32 kg, and having a profile of 19.81 mm.
Display
The laptop has one display option, which can come with a touchscreen. The panel has a QHD+ resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 400 nits. HP’s specs sheet gives no info about the color coverage, but advertises “accurate colors”.
Specifications and features
The laptop offers three Alder Lake H-series processors, starting with the Core i5-12500H, Core i7-12700H, and Core i9-12900H, all of which have plenty of power. In terms of graphics, you can choose between the RTX 3060 and the Intel Arc A370M. We see it as quite the mismatch, as the RTX 3060 is a premiere 1080p and 1440p GPU, which is able to tackle gaming at both resolutions. Intel’s Arc graphics cards are still plagued by early adopter problems and driver compatibility issues, which overall limit the performance. Intel has lowered the price considerably, however, units are still hard to move, despite the GPUs having AV1 hardware encoding support, which looks to be the future of streaming media.
In terms of I/O, the laptop carries two Thunderbolt 4 ports, one HDMI 2.1 port, and one USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 2) port on the right. The left gets one more Type-A port, an audio jack, and a MicroSD card reader.
