Expert tester comments
HP's 15-inch ENVY x360 is one of the largest laptops you will find that can also be used as a tablet. It's based on AMD's Ryzen 7 CPU, which offers very good all-round performance for mainstream tasks. We do wish it had a bigger touchpad, that its hinges were a bit stronger, but overall it's a pleasing unit to use. Pick this model if you want a desktop-replacement type of laptop that can also be used as a tablet with the supplied stylus. Note: This laptop's performance is not directly comparable to current products due to it being tested with an older version of our benchmark.
