![]() ![]() ![]() In keeping with the entire industry, HP has moved the Envy 16 to a taller 16:10 display, and I couldn’t be happier with this choice. The construction is top-rate, and there is almost no flex at all, even in the middle of the keyboard. But that’s OK: it’s a sharp and professional-looking PC that exudes a premium vibe with somewhat curved edges and corners.Īnd I like the subtle branding touches, similar to what HP offers on its more premium models: there are ENVY branding touches on the back of the display hinge and on the left wrist rest, and a smaller Bang & Olufsen text on the right wrist rest.īut at the end of the day, the Envy 16 is a minimalist, utilitarian device, by design: it provides everything a creator could possibly need-a huge display, incredible performance, ample expansion, and a solid keyboard-and gets out of the way. ![]() Given the choice, I’d almost certainly go for a darker color, but HP only offers the Envy 16 in an understated Natural Silver. I mean, just look at it compared to the 13.3-inch Lenovo ThinkPad X13s I also reviewed on this trip. The HP Envy 16 is a giant silver slab of aluminum: it weighs 5.12 pounds and measures 14.1 x 9.9 x 0.78 inches. Put more simply, I literally have over a dozen loaner laptops in my home for review as I write this and I could use whichever devices I prefer. It’s daily driver material, especially if you’re a content creator who, like me, moves between relatively unchallenging productivity apps and more demanding video editing and developer apps. Which is a roundabout way of explaining that I really like this laptop. I pushed the HP Envy 16 forward in the queue, partly because I found myself using it so much, gravitating to it because I preferred its power and size, and partly because when the time came for our current two-week trip to Mexico City, I knew I’d want to use it each day for work. ![]()
