Expert tester comments
HP's Envy 13 is a good size for those of you who want something easy to handle while at home or on the road. The highlight of our performance testing was the solid state drive's good read and write speeds. It might not have enough built-in ports to satisfy all users. Note: This laptop's performance is not directly comparable to current products due to it being tested with an older version of our benchmark.
