Product Overview

HP ENVY x360 13 (13z-ay000) is a compact and lightweight 2-in-1 laptop powered by AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 mobile processor. It is very similar to the clamshell ENVY 13 in terms of feature set, while adding a layer of flexibility.
For a more fashion-forward design, HP also markets the Spectre Folio 13, while the Spectre x360 13 adds more configurable features in a chassis that is roughly the same size. From the competition, Dell offers XPS 9310, and Lenovo has Yoga 6 13-inch.
HP's 2020 ENVY-series also includes 2-in-1s in the 15-inch class powered by AMD and Intel.

Reviewers from cnet have found:
The HP Envy x360 13 is small, stylish and light at just less than 3 pounds. The AMD Ryzen 5-4500U processor delivered performance beyond that of pricier Intel chips. It's a speedy little two-in-one that's ready for working from home or remote learning.
Pros
  • Excellent performance
  • Comfortable keyboard
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Not the fastest AMD processor

digitaltrends[2]

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:
The Envy x360 has a touch display, of course, being a 2-in-1, and it works as well as always. It also supports Microsoft's newest pen protocol, which promises longer battery life (up to 30 days) and a more natural tilt function. The jury is still out on the Ryzen 4000's efficiency, but it's looking like the chips so far don't beat Intel.
Pros
  • Sleek 2-in-1 design
  • Solid performance
  • Comfortable keyboard
Cons
  • Battery life isn’t great
  • No Thunderbolt 3

Reviewers from laptopmag have found:
The Envy x360 13 runs Windows 10 Home and comes with a one-year warranty. It's the perfect laptop for those who want a premium notebook at an affordable price. The Envy played Dirt 3 at a smooth 78 frames per second with the graphics set to 1080p on Very High.
Pros
  • Excellent performance
  • Comfortable keyboard
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • No IR camera
  • No Thunderbolt 3

notebookcheck[4]

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from notebookcheck have found:
The Envy x360 feels closer to a Spectre x360 rather than the cheaper Pavilion x360. Key feedback is relatively firm with moderate clatter for a familiar Ultrabook typing experience as opposed to the special MagLev keys of the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. Users will not have much to upgrade beyond the WLAN and M.2 SSD modules as RAM is soldered.
Pros
  • Sleek and lightweight design
  • High-quality aluminum construction
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Keyboard positioning could be firmer

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The Envy x360 13 offers everything we expect from HP's Envy brand, including a solid blend of standard features, above-average computing performance, and a palatable price. This 2-in-1 convertible is among the vanguard of models equipped with AMD's latest 4th-generation Ryzen U-series processors. Its so-so display is inferior to many challengers in its crowded field.
Pros
  • Pleasant design
  • Excellent battery life
  • Comfortable keyboard
Cons
  • Lackluster performance
  • No Thunderbolt 3 port

pcworld[6]

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from pcworld have found:
The keyboard has a sensible layout, very defined two-level backlight, and good key travel. The trackpad supports Microsoft's Precision drivers, but the surface is one of the rougher ones we've fingered in some time. The laptop features a microSD slot that lets you easily add semi-permanent storage to the laptop.
Pros
  • Sleek design
  • Good battery life
  • Comfortable keyboard
Cons
  • No dedicated print screen button

techradar[7]

Reviewers from techradar have found:
The HP Envy x360 has an integrated Bang & Olufsen sound system and HP Audio Boost 2.0 technology. While bass tones aren't as hard-hitting as some may like, mid and high-range sounds are incredibly clean at any volume. The AMD processor means no Thunderbolt 3, but you can still take advantage of USB-C charging speeds.
Pros
  • Sleek, lightweight design
  • Excellent audio performance
  • Comfortable keyboard backlighting
Cons
  • No Thunderbolt 3
