Portability:4.3
PerfectRec’s portability rating takes into account the volume and thickness of the laptop as well as its weight.
Engineering & Design:4.2
The HP Envy x360 15" is good for engineering and design due to its capable AMD Ryzen 7 processor and integrated Vega 8 graphics, ample RAM for multitasking, and a high-quality OLED touch-sensitive display with wide color coverage and high contrast for detailed visual work. While the device is portable and offers good battery life, its weight and dimensions reflect a balance between screen size and carrying convenience; the keyboard and speakers are also commended for their quality, contributing to an overall solid build suitable for engineering tasks.

Gaming & AI:3.6
The HP Envy x360 15" has an integrated GPU which is less powerful than dedicated gaming GPUs and a screen with a maximum refresh rate of 60Hz, which is fair for gaming but not ideal for high frame rate experiences. While its OLED screen delivers good quality visuals, the lower refresh rate might not be as smooth for fast-paced 3D games when compared with screens designed specifically for gaming.

CNET
Matt Elliott | January 2023
"Despite its good looks, stellar webcam and comfortable keyboard, the Envy x360 15 is hard to recommend because of its dim, 16:9 display. If the display isn't an issue for you, just be sure to wait for a good sale price. Otherwise, a more modern two-in-one with a 16:10 display such as the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 or Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 provides a larger workspace without adding much to the size and weight of the system."
