Hp Envy Laptops in Tanzania
Review of laptop-transformer HP Envy x360 13
A rare bird in our lab: HP Envy x360. Firstly, this is a convertible laptop, that is, its screen can be deflected 360 °, turning the device into a tablet. Second, and even more interesting, it is based on AMD Ryzen 5 3500U. In the era of Intel's dominance in the desktop segment, the processors of this company seemed to be an even more successful choice for laptops, because, having given up on competition in technologies for conventional PCs, Intel just improved processors in terms of energy efficiency. But in the last couple of years, AMD has taken full advantage of the competitor's long marking time, first offering more full-fledged cores for the same money, and now also pulling the cores up to the level of competing solutions. The results were not long in coming, and Ryzen processors are already consistently perceived as market leaders, including in the absolute standings, and not just in terms of the “popular” performance indic Hp Envy Laptops in Tanzania ator per ruble. But all this is in the desktop segment. What about in a laptop?
In the laptop, the company has also been offering Ryzen models for a long time - previously on the Zen core, and since January 2020 - on Zen2. Two processor lines are offered as standard: H with a TDP of 45W and U with a TDP of 15W. The number of cores they have is quite adequate and even advanced, the integrated graphics are obviously the best, so everything is quite up to par. It seems that there is every reason to try them in practice and, perhaps, get a new hit ... However, manufacturers of end devices - laptops - are not too willing to create models with AMD processors and are even less willing to give them for testing. What is to blame - we are lost in conjecture. However, we will gladly take advantage of the opportunity that has fallen to us. True, the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U belongs to the past generation, this is Zen, not Zen2, but we, as already mentioned, do not have to be picky.
HP offers many modifications of the Envy x360 laptop, but since this information cannot be pulled out in a structured form from the chaos on the company's website, we will not try to list all these varieties. Let's just say that 13-inch models are always based on AMD processors, but 15-inch models can use processors from both manufacturers.
