Review on 2020 HP Envy Touchscreen Laptop: Experience the Ultimate Computing Power by Doug Friedman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Upgradable model with two slots for RAM. Can work with TDP 30W.

This is a beautiful metal body foldable 2-in-1 laptop. I find it offers multiple desk layouts with the laptop acting as a secondary monitor below or to the right of my main monitor. This laptop features two upgradeable RAM slots and one upgradeable m.2 NVMe SSD slot. Before jumping into Windows 10, I upgraded the memory to 32GB (2 x 16GB) of 3200MHz G.Skillz RAM along with a 2TB NVME SSD from Adata XPG with read and write speeds of around 3500MB/s. Amazing battery life and plenty of memory and disk space proved to be much faster when I was selecting different processes to run. It can unzip a file of 300 12MP photos in 10 seconds, download GB of PDFs, render low-poly 3D models, play Spotify, and open 40 tabs without noticing slow sections. I'd suggest if you're more into 4K video editing I'd step it up a notch and get a Ryzen with at least 6 cores and 12 cores. Playing GTA V Online on a combination of normal and high settings produces around 50 fps at 1080p. HP set the CPU TDP at 15W, but with a quick download of the software called Ryzen Controller I can get a TDP of 30W.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Zero
