HP ENVY 13” Thin Laptop w/ Fingerprint Reader Intel Core i7-8565U, NVIDIA GeForce MX250 with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019 Download | 1 person, Compatible on Windows 10 and Apple macOS

I am a freelance designer. I needed a small durable laptop that can handle lots of artboards, heavy psds, animation, video editing etc.. but i really wanted to stay away from a 15" laptop. I was not sure about this one and assumed i was taking a gamble. For one i dont like HP, the customer service is awful and i think they cheap out alot. With all this said i have been very happy so far. after effects, spotify, chrome, couple adobe psds, few affinity files etc. thing works great i havent noticed any real issues so far. as far as power its been pretty solid. The keyboard is fantastic, one of the best i have used on a laptop. Screen is fantastic, sharp clear good colors. build quality is fantastic, VERY VERY solid machine. the battery is incredible. lasts a VERY VERY long time. much longer than 4 hours. Cons: My biggest pet peeve with laptop companies is the fact that they ALWAYS F-up the thermal paste so the thing is bouncing off 98c. This laptop was a bit different after a day of lots of creation, 2 cores hit around 89-90 but stayed around 65-75 degrees. For an ultra book thats not bad. Since im a heat nut, i re-thermal pasted the cpu and bought it down 10 degrees. So after a long day of creating, i maxed out at 78-80 with average of 50-65. Currently im pretty happy with the machine.

Terrible Terrible... This is not a brand new product. The box was already open and it looks like someone used it. It was totally unsealed when I got that. I have to return it.

This is probably my 10th laptop... this one feels fast, touch screen, mouse pad, speakers, and keyboard are all great. have only had it a few hours, but so far its just what we wanted and ordered. The display is truly beautiful. Cannot get a feel for battery yet, of course, but its held its charge for a couple of hours already. Took some time to remove the bloat -- but set up was otherwise painless. Added a tiny app to control fan -- otherwise, the fan runs loud and often. Was surprised it had a fan with the SSD drive -- but HP should include an app to control the fan. (My 10" Dells never had a fan, but my two HPs have both had loud fans.) We actually ordered this from HP directly because this listing said dual processor instead of quad -- but that is a typo. Ordering this on the phone through HP ended up in them sending the wrong laptop for $50 more... and it took about 10 days to get it... and that was during their Memorial Day sale. Shipped it back and ordered this one. The extended warranty package was only for three years from HP and was more expensive then the 4 year package offered through Amazon... those things are usually not worth it, but for 10-15% of the price of a laptop heading off to college, I thought it might be worth it this time. (Included free shipping to get your laptop fixed... if it cant be fixed, they give you an Amazon gift card for the cost of the laptop... only reviews on the insurance have been poor. but there was sooo few of them... and the reviews just didnt seem right, so decided to give it a shot.)

I just got this computer and I have loved everything about it. It is sleek, light and looks great. It is very fast and has a beautiful display. I have already streamed several movies and shows on it. However, after having it for about a week the fingerprint sensor does not activate leaving me to use my password to log on. Not sure what happened or what I need to do to make it work. Otherwise everything is great.

I bought this notebook because I was looking for something powerful but small and thin. This Ultrabook fulfills those characteristics. I can edit videos in Adobe Premiere, even in RED RAW format. The port on the left is really fast, but the one on the right works like USB 2.0 in speed. The biggest problem is the duration of the battery. It does not matter how you configure it, nor the saving mode, nor any setting that you can apply. The duration does not drop from 4: 20hs. I was able to update manually to Windows 10 May Update but it still did not improve. I hope you can improve some configuration, since in the minimum use of it, or in Idle mode, there is no possibility to reduce the Discharge Rate.

shipped all the way to Saudi Arabia, came in new unopened. A very speced out especially the mx250 video card and the ddr4 rams, you will never find such specs with this price. Highly recommend it. a little coil one, not to loud, comes and goes depends on heavy usage. The only thing i dont like about this laptop that the screen cant be laid back much, it only opens to certain degree which is not enough for my use. Other than that i would give it 5 stars! havent tried it on video editing yet since that is the reason i bought the laptop for, I will update my review on that after testing it. Oh and i am sad they removed the fancy looking wooden line at the back of the screen like the previous models.

It was good if it’s a general use laptop. The touchscreen every so often wouldn’t respond. And often the fingerprint scanner didn’t read until after a few attempts. The screen was very good though crystal image and it would run programs well, although it did have it moments of non responsive actions.

Pros *Fast: The specs on this Laptop are very high end keeping it very fast *The screen is so crisp and the viewing angles are so good the touchscreen is very responsive but i dont use it much due to fingerprints *The keyboard feels very good to use and the back-lighting is a nice touch *The dedicated GPU is very basic but can handle most things you throw at it (Except intense gaming it can handle anything before 2013) *The Aluminum build feels so quality and there is no flex in the build *The speakers are the best Laptop speakers i have ever had whenever i am using it i have spotify on and it sounds good *the amount of ports on it is perfect nothing that i dont need *I bough this to use all through collage and how small and light it is is very good *Battery life is good if you dont push it too hard (easily last a day) Cons *The fingerprint sensor after one month seldom works *The touch-pad is not that precise but i dont care i use a Bluetooth mouse (and i recommend it) *The front camera is a embarrassment for a $1200 laptop (But the switch is nice) For anyone looking for a quality powerful durable sturdy laptop I would recommend fully

This is a very nice machine. Elegant, sleek design, gorgeous 4K display and its very powerful for an Ultrabook. My only gripe is the fingerprint scanner and the price. I wish the fingerprint scanner were a tad bit more sensitive, and the price was about $100 cheaper. Other than that, this laptop is a diamond. A true Macbook killer.
