A leaner Spectre x360 13. The latest mid-range 13.3-inch convertible from HP could easily pass as a flagship Spectre offering. It does a lot of things right to be a worthwhile sub-$1000 laptop with only a handful of annoyances to keep in mind. Show  As detailed in our launch article here, the 2020 Envy x360 13 is a full-on update of the 2019 model meaning there's a lot of changes both inside and out. HP has dropped the older 9th gen Whiskey Lake-U and Zen+ Ryzen U-series options in favor of 10th gen Ice Lake and Zen 2, respectively. The Envy x360 13 series is positioned as a mid-range convertible between the cheaper Pavilion x360 and pricier Spectre x360. As our review below will show, however, the 2020 Envy model feels and performs surprisingly close to a Spectre without costing nearly as much. Our test unit comes with the Ryzen 5 4500U, 8 GB of soldered dual-channel RAM, and a 256 GB NVMe SSD for approximately $800 USD retail. Lesser Ryzen 3 and greater Ryzen 7 options are also available. Direct competitors to the Envy x360 13 include mid-range to flagship subnotebook convertibles like the Lenovo Yoga C940, Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1, Asus ZenBook Flip 14, or the Acer Spin series.

The metal chassis materials are similar to the ones used on the 2019 Spectre x360 13 for a familiar texture and build quality. In fact, the two are nearly identical in size and weight. Attempting to twist the lid or base results in minimal creaking or warping for solid first impressions especially for such a small and lightweight system. Flexing is most noticeable down the center of the lid, but it's not anything to worry about. The one aspect we think could have been better is the rigidity of the hinges. While satisfactory, they don't feel as strong as the hinges on last year's Spectre x360 13. They become weaker and more likely to teeter once they reach around 150 degrees or greater. The 2020 Envy x360 13 has a much smaller footprint than the 2019 version because of its reduced "chin" bezel. Overall length, for example, is almost 2 cm shorter year-over-year. Interestingly, weight remains almost the same at 1.3 kg and the newer design is actually slightly thicker (16.4 mm vs 14.7 mm), but these are fair trade-offs for a more compact convertible that rivals Dell's more expensive XPS 13 7390 2-in-1.

There is still no HDMI port meaning users will have to rely on DisplayPort over USB-C for connecting external monitors. Keep in mind that there is no Thunderbolt 3 support on this AMD SKU. Users will have to choose either the Intel version of the Envy x360 13 or the Spectre x360 13 for Thunderbolt 3 compatibility. The spring-loaded MicroSD card hasn't changed from last year's Envy x360 13 in terms of performance. Transferring 1 GB of pictures from our UHS-II test card to desktop still takes about 13 seconds. Our unit comes with an Intel AX200 for Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. Some SKUs may come with the slower Realtek Wi-Fi 5 module instead. We experienced no issues when connected to our Netgear RAX200 test router. 07014021028035042049056063070077084091098010501120119012601330Tooltip 7.8 ∆E 6.5 ∆E 7.1 ∆E 7.7 ∆E 10.5 ∆E 7.9 ∆E 6.3 ∆E 5.9 ∆E 5.8 ∆E 4.2 ∆E 5 ∆E 5.5 ∆E 6.1 ∆E 3.2 ∆E 5.9 ∆E 4.4 ∆E 7.7 ∆E 11.2 ∆E 4.1 ∆E 5.5 ∆E 7.3 ∆E 8.9 ∆E 5.7 ∆E 6.1 ∆E ColorChecker HP Envy x360 13-ay0010nr: 6.52 ∆E min: 3.23 - max: 11.17 ∆E The bottom panel can be tricky to remove since there are three screws hidden underneath the rear rubber footing and two types of screwdrivers (Philips and Torx) are required. Users will not have much to upgrade beyond the WLAN and M.2 SSD modules as RAM is soldered. There are no extras in the box outside of the AC adapter and usual paperwork. Active pens are supported and HP offers a wide variety of external mice, adapters, and bags. The standard one-year limited warranty applies with extension options of up to three years if purchased directly from HP.com. KeyboardTyping on 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. We especially like that the Caps Lock, Mute, Microphone, Camera, and Power keys each have their own individual LED indicators so you will always know when they are toggled on or off. Our least favorite characteristic of the keyboard is the positioning of some of the keys. The Power button, for example, is at an uncommon spot making it easy to accidentally hit instead of the adjacent Delete or Camera keys. Furthermore, the fingerprint reader completely replaces the Ctrl key much like on the latest 17.3-inch Envy 17t which will inevitably annoy typists who rely on this key. A combo power-fingerprint button approach like on the XPS 13 series would have solved this issue. The clickpad here is slightly larger than the clickpad on the 2019 Spectre x360 13 (11 x 6 cm vs. 11.1 x 5.6 cm). Cursor movements are reliable and somewhat sticky when gliding at slower speeds, but this allows for more precise control. Moving vertically still feels cramped since the clickpad is so short. The integrated click keys are shallow in travel with a soft auditory click when pressed. Feedback could have been firmer for a more satisfying click. We're unable to identify the exact touchscreen panel in use here, but HWiNFO confirms it to be of Chi Mei origin with a CMN139D controller as opposed to the InfoVision or AU Optronics panels on the older Envy x360 or Spectre x360 models, respectively. Display quality is crisp with excellent contrast and colors, but response times remain average while last year's 120 Hz refresh rate panel is now gone. Unlike most other OEMs, HP offers three brightness options at configuration: 300 nits, 400 nits, and 1000 nits all at 1080p. We recommend the 1000-nit option if you plan on using the convertible in outdoor conditions frequently. Our measurements below reflect only the 400-nit option. 430.9 cd/m²434.6 cd/m²434.9 cd/m²431.4 cd/m²452.6 cd/m²450.8 cd/m²421.8 cd/m²439.4 cd/m²445.8 cd/m² Distribution of brightness tested with X-Rite i1Pro 2 Maximum: 452.6 cd/m² (Nits) Average: 438 cd/m² Minimum: 26.5 cd/m² Brightness Distribution: 93 % Center on Battery: 452.6 cd/m² Contrast: 1561:1 (Black: 0.29 cd/m²) ΔE Color 2.67 | 0.5-29.43 Ø5.1, calibrated: 1.36 ΔE Greyscale 2.1 | 0.57-98 Ø5.3 97.6% sRGB (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) 62.2% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 1.6.3 3D) 67.8% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) 97.4% sRGB (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) 65.9% Display P3 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D) Gamma: 2.01 HP Envy x360 13-ay0010nr IPS, 13.30, 1920x1080HP Envy x360 13-ar0601ng InfoVision, M133NVF3 R2, IPS, 120 Hz, 13.30, 1920x1080Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 Core i7 Sharp LQ134N1, IPS, 13.40, 1920x1200HP Spectre x360 13-aw0013dx AU Optronics AUO5E2D, IPS, 13.30, 1920x1080Asus ZenBook S13 UX392FN Tianma XM, IPS, 13.90, 1920x1080Apple MacBook Pro 13 2020 2GHz i5 10th-Gen APPA03D, IPS, 13.30, 2560x1600Display -6% 4% 4% 1% 27% Display P3 Coverage 65.9 63 -4% 69.9 6% 69.6 6% 67.5 2% 98.8 50% sRGB Coverage 97.4 90.8 -7% 99.2 2% 98.9 2% 95.8 -2% 99.9 3% AdobeRGB 1998 Coverage 67.8 63.8 -6% 71.5 5% 71.5 5% 69 2% 86.4 27% Response Times -9% -27% -21% 12% 119% Response Time Grey 50% / Grey 80% * 47.6 (24.8, 22.8) 35 (18, 17) 26% 47.6 (23.2, 24.4) -0% 60.8 (26, 34.8) -28% 47.2 (23.6, 23.6) 1% 46 (22, 24) 3% Response Time Black / White * 32.4 (16.4, 16) 22 (12, 10) 32% 29.2 (16, 13.2) 10% 36.8 (15.6, 21.2) -14% 24.8 (14, 10.8) 23% 32.4 (18.4, 14) -0% PWM Frequency 25000 (45) 4065 (90) -84% 2500 (25) -90% 113600 (75) 354% Screen -22% 0% -36% -2% 12% Brightness middle 452.6 633 40% 549.8 21% 447.4 -1% 466 3% 512 13% Brightness 438 675 54% 520 19% 420 -4% 462 5% 491 12% Brightness Distribution 93 75 -19% 86 -8% 85 -9% 90 -3% 91 -2% Black Level * 0.29 0.55 -90% 0.39 -34% 0.31 -7% 0.33 -14% 0.32 -10% Contrast 1561 1151 -26% 1410 -10% 1443 -8% 1412 -10% 1600 2% Colorchecker dE 2000 * 2.67 3.12 -17% 2.12 21% 4.23 -58% 1.93 28% 1.7 36% Colorchecker dE 2000 max. * 4.11 6.37 -55% 3.66 11% 9.34 -127% 4.26 -4% 3.4 17% Colorchecker dE 2000 calibrated * 1.36 1.83 -35% 1.37 -1% 1.32 3% 1.99 -46% 1 26% Greyscale dE 2000 * 2.1 3.89 -85% 2.6 -24% 6.1 -190% 1.7 19% 1.9 10% Gamma 2.01 109% 2.39 92% 2.3 96% 2.11 104% 2.15 102% 2.19 100% CCT 6505 100% 6476 100% 6884 94% 6136 106% 6382 102% 6817 95% Color Space (Percent of AdobeRGB 1998) 62.2 59 -5% 65.4 5% 64.8 4% 62.2 0% 77.4 24% Color Space (Percent of sRGB) 97.6 91 -7% 99.7 2% 98.9 1% 95.7 -2% 99.9 2% Total Average (Program / Settings) -12% /-17% -8% /-4% -18% /-27% 4% /0% 53% /33% * ... smaller is better Color space is nearly identical to last year's Envy x360 13 if not slightly wider to cover sRGB almost completely. Results are comparable to most other high-end Ultrabooks or convertibles in the market. HP offers deeper colors on the larger Spectre x360 15 series. Furthe measurements with a colorimeter show a decently calibrated display out of the box with an average grayscale deltaE of only 2.1. Calibrating the panel ourselves would improve grayscale and colors even further albeit just marginally. Display Response Timesℹ Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times. ↔ Response Time Black to White32.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 16.4 ms rise ↘ 16 ms fallThe screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 86 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.7 ms). ↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey47.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 24.8 ms rise ↘ 22.8 ms fallThe screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.

This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (34.2 ms). Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)ℹ To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether. Screen flickering / PWM detected 25000 Hz ≤ 45 % brightness setting The display backlight flickers at 25000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 45 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 25000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18407 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. Outdoor visibility is average on our 400-nit display due to the reflective touchscreen. The 1000-nit panel option should improve this dramatically — such a feature is unheard of for a laptop in this price range. HP offers a wider selection of processors here when compared to its Spectre x360 13 series. Users can configure with the 4/4 core/thread Ryzen 3 4300U, 6/6 core/thread Ryzen 5 4500U, or the 8/8 core/thread Ryzen 7 4700U. In addition, users can also configure with Intel Ice Lake options up to the 4/8 core/thread Core i7-1065G7. There are no discrete GPU options meaning users will have to make do with integrated Radeon RX Vega or Iris Plus solutions. RAM is soldered at 8 GB to 16 GB of DDR4-3200. Thankfully, memory runs in dual-channel mode no matter the SKU. All benchmarks below were performed on the HP Performance mode setting unless otherwise stated. AMD FreeSync is supported which is not expected from a subnotebook convertible. CPU performance is impressive especially when considering than the Ryzen 5 4500U is supposed to be AMD's budget-to-midrange offering. Multi-thread performance is roughly 10 percent faster than the pricier Intel Core i7-1065G7 in the latest XPS 13 9300 while being roughly 10 percent slower in single-threaded workloads. Applications that exploit multiple threads — which are most nowadays — will run just as fast on the cheaper Ryzen 5 4500U. Upgrading to the Ryzen 7 4700U will net roughly 15 to 25 percent faster multi-thread performance while downgrading to the base Ryzen 3 4300U option would lose about 35 percent. See our dedicated page on the Ryzen 5 4500U for more technical information and benchmark comparisons. 055110165220275330385440495550605660715770825880935990Tooltip Cinebench R20 / CPU (Multi Core)Dell XPS 13 7390 Core i7-10710U Intel Core i7-10710U 2410 Points +15% Acer Swift 3 SF314-42-R4XJ AMD Ryzen 7 4700U 2401 Points +15% Average AMD Ryzen 5 4500U (1843 -

Real-world performance in games, however, will vary greatly depending on drivers and compatibility as 3DMark never tells the whole story between GPUs of different manufacturers and architectures. Based on experience, integrated AMD Radeon Vega GPUs are well-optimized for popular undemanding games like DOTA 2, LoL, or Rocket League.

It's an undesirable behavior likely due to the dynamic clock rates between the CPU and GPU when both are under load. Luckily, FreeSync will eliminate the screen tearing that is usually associated with such frame rate fluctuations. 05101520253035404550Tooltip Fan noise is quiet when idling on desktop, but it ramps up rather quickly to the low-to-mid 30 dB(A) range when browsing or video streaming on the HP Recommended power profile. When running the first 90-second benchmark scene of 3DMark 06, fan noise would climb to 41 dB(A) halfway into the test. Results are comparable to what we observed on last year's Envy x360 13 and the Asus ZenBook S13. The Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 is able to remain quieter for longer than the HP. The system fan will pulse more frequently if HP Command Center is set to Performance mode. Keep the laptop in Recommended, Comfort, or Quiet mode to limit performance and lower the fan noise ceiling.

We stress the system with synthetic loads to identify for any potential throttling or stability issues. When running Prime95, the CPU can be observed running at up to 3.6 GHz for the first few seconds before falling and stabilizing at about 3.0 GHz and 85 C. In comparison, the Core i7 Ice Lake CPU in the XPS 13 2-in-1 would stabilize at a much warmer 99 C when under similar conditions. Running on batteries will not limit performance by all that much. A 3DMark 11 test on battery power would return Physics and Graphics scores of 7691 and 4276 points, respectively, compared to 7773 and 4419 points when on mains.

Cons- fingerprint and Power button positioning takes getting used to - relatively loud fan noise on HP Recommended mode - no grip along front edge; display is difficult to open - PWM on lower brightness levels - no Thunderbolt 3 on AMD SKUs - hinge could be more rigid - non-upgradeable RAM - cramped arrow keys - M.2 PCIe x2 slot - no HDMI port - no IR camera The AMD-powered 2020 Envy x360 13 looks and performs better than what its relatively low price would otherwise suggest. It's essentially a less expensive version of the 2019 Spectre x360 13 that doesn't sacrifice chassis quality or system performance to reach the lower price point. If you were considering an older Envy x360 13 or Spectre convertible, then it would be worth checking out this faster, cheaper, and leaner 2020 Envy model instead. Some hardware limitations prevent the Envy x360 13 from being the "ultimate" 13.3-inch convertible. There is no Thunderbolt 3 or HDMI and RAM is not user-upgradeable meaning HP can charge extra for 16 GB DDR4 SKUs. Meanwhile, the oddly positioned fingerprint reader takes some getting used to and we feel that the hinges could be stiffer. Alternatives like the Lenovo Yoga C940 integrate stylus holders which can come in handy when in tablet mode. We had named the 14-inch Yoga C940 as the consumer convertible to beat when we reviewed it late last year, but that particular system retailed for nearly $1500 USD. For under $1000, you're not going to find a 13.3-inch convertible that balances performance, weight, build quality, and price better than the 2020 HP Envy x360 13 right now. It's pretty amazing what a swap to an AMD processor can do in terms of price and performance-per-dollar. The redesigned 2020 Envy x360 13 is noticeably smaller and more compact than last year's model while being much faster in the process.
