日本Top 5 reasons to BUY or NOT buy the HP Envy 13 (13-aq0000)
The HP Envy 13 (13-aq0000) is a very light and compact machine. You can have with a variety of Comet Lake and Whiskey Lake processors and with a video card up to NVIDIA GeForce MX250. Ergo, it is a decently fast and snappy device that has great portability and it looks way more expensive than it is.
You can choose between two panels – a 1080 IPS display and a 4K one. We tested the Full HD version and we are more than pleased with its vivid and punchy colors, which come as a result of the high sRGB coverage. If Windows’ unreliable scaling doesn’t bother you, the 4K display is a great option but the end-price becomes a hefty one. If you haven’t already checked our in-depth analysis regarding this device you can find it here.

4 reasons to BUY the HP Envy 13 (13-aq0000)
1. Comfortable keyboard
The keyboard has a backlight which is good if you have to type something in a dimmed room. The keycaps have good key travel as well as a clicky feedback.
2. Superb IPS display
The 13.3″ 1080p IPS panel (AUO AUO572D) has comfortable viewing angles, superb contrast ratio – 1630:1 (1460:1 after profiling), and it covers 95% of the sRGB color gamut. Additionally, the display doesn’t use PWM to adjust its brightness levels. Thanks to our profiles, the panel can be an “average dE monster” with a result of 0.8 – a superb display for people with color-sensitive work.
3. Thin and light
Yes, one of the biggest advantages of this machine is its weight and compact dimensions. The notebook weighs just 1.17kg and it’s profile is quite slim as well – 14.7mm. You can take it almost everywhere with you with ease.
4. Long battery life
The battery unit has a capacity of 53.2Wh. We achieved over 18 hours of Web browsing and 12 hours and 30 minutes of video playback – this is a great result for such a small machine.
1 reason not to BUY the HP Envy 13 (13-aq0000)
1. Soldered RAM
It’s not a surprise that this laptop comes with a soldered RAM – a big part of the modern compact devices sacrifice memory upgradability because of their profile.
