The HP Envy 13 is the latest of those computers to enter the ring. It starts at just$800(£699) for a no-compromise configuration that comes with a 2.3GHz 15-watt Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of memory, 128GB of speedy solid-state storage, and a crisp 1080p screen - all in a chassis that weighs just 2.8 pounds and measures 12.9mm thick. It’s one of the thinnest laptops ever made.
The HP Envy 13 is a slim, lightweight notebook with a comfortable keyboard and decent speakers - plus a fingerprint sensor that makes signing into Windows a snap.
This thin laptop’s battery life falls far behind the competition. No touchscreen option.
HP’s Envy 13 is a pretty good notebook, but why settle for good? Dell, Lenovo, and even HP sell better thin-and-light laptops.
