Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Envy x360 14-fa0000sf
Openable 360°, this hybrid laptop PC has an elegant, sober and yet original look thanks to its light silver aluminum design, sandblasted anodized finish, compact, thin and light.
The screen is equipped with multi-touch touch technology. We can therefore interact with the system and the software by simply applying at least one finger on it, using gestures/pressures.
As it is tactile, the screen has a glossy treatment which gives punch to the colors but is sensitive to reflections in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
A major asset of this configuration, the screen will delight those looking for a High Definition High Fidelity screen thanks to its 2.8K definition superior to Full HD, its 16:10 format displaying more elements in height than the standard 16:9 format.
The screen also has OLED DCI-P3 specifications involving much more faithful colorimetry than average, great black depth, significant viewing angles – both horizontally and vertically. But also minimal latency which, coupled with the 120Hz refresh rate, results in much better general fluidity than a classic 60Hz panel.
Those who wish can authenticate biometrically by facial recognition through the Infrared functionality of the webcam, and this via Windows Hello technology.
Those who want to protect privacy will appreciate being able to hide the webcam behind a privacy shutter when not using it.
You can activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard whenever you need to better distinguish your keys.
The connectivity integrated into this multimedia-oriented 2-in-1 laptop is good, consisting of 2 USB-C, Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, a video output Practical HDMI for easily connecting it to a monitor or TV for example, an audio port but also 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers taking place up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.
Performance, autonomy of the HP Envy x360 14-fa0000sf
The HP Envy x360 14-fa0000sf may appeal to those who wish to invest in an elegant High Definition High Fidelity laptop that is easy to carry and convertible into a high-performance, multimedia-oriented tablet.
Demanding users will be delighted with the good overall power provided by this 2-in-1 laptop.
Because it is based on 16 GB of RAM associated with an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS Hawk Point Zen 4 Octo Core processor in which the Radeon 780M graphics module takes place.
Thanks to the Radeon 780M, you can obviously watch HD photos and videos.
Or even play light to modest games if you agree to adjustments such as a reduction in screen definition. Because in 2.8K more graphics calculations are required than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.
The heart of this hybrid laptop will in any case be of interest to those who carry out multimedia processing using RAM and multi-cores. Because under this model they are much faster than if we were dealing with a PC based on a classic Quad/Hexa Core processor.
The storage accompanying the heart is obviously entrusted to an SSD since it clearly improves fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis.
Thanks to the SSD, processing is fast, as are software launches, processing and starts/stops, or even arrival on online game cards.
An SSD is indeed fast, in addition to being silent, shock resistant and energy efficient.
HP opts here for a 512 GB SSD, a solution found in many marketed models. However, if additional space is needed, an external storage module can be used. To obtain fast transfers, we will favor a USB 3.0/USB-C type device.
As for autonomy, expect around 6 hours on battery in light use for this model which is as easy to transport as an Ultrabook because it is compact, thin and light.
Some people wishing to have a 2-in-1 student laptop with high performance in terms of processor may be interested.
Expect this hybrid laptop to heat up and make itself heard under heavy loads (e.g. treatments).
A ventilated support could, if necessary, be associated with it to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
