HP ENVY 13 in-depth review

Today, we have an uncharacteristically premium notebook to review. It is the Envy 13 (13-ba0000), and in the configuration we got it, it has a Comet Lake-U Intel, the NVIDIA GeForce MX350, as well as a very interesting display.Actually, we're going to spoil it for a second, by saying that this notebook has the exact same 1080p IPS panel as the HP Spectre x360 13 (13-aw0000).

Pros

Sure View privacy system
PCIe x4 support and a MicroSD card reader
Has a great contrast ratio and a maximum brightness of 1000 nits (IVO M133NVFD R2)
Great for designers with 99% of sRGB coverage and accurate color representation (thanks to our Gaming and Web design profile) (IVO M133NVFD R2)
Very fast fingerprint reader

Underperforming hardware
Weird power button location

Remove the bottom plate While HP has once again tried to fool you by hiding two of its screws, it is good to see that there are only four keeping the bottom panel in place. Two of them have Torx heads, while the other two are of a Phillips type. After you undo them, pry the panel with a plastic tool, and you're done.2. Battery In terms of power away from the plug, there i[...]
