Here's why you should buy -- or avoid -- one of the world's thinnest laptops

 

HP's Envy 13 would be an easy laptop to recommend, if not for weak battery life and more competent alternatives.

The HP Envy 13 is a slim, lightweight notebook with a comfortable keyboard and decent speakers -- plus a fingerprint sensor that makes signing into Windows a snap.

This thin laptop's battery life falls far behind the competition. No touchscreen option.

HP's Envy 13 is a pretty good notebook, but why settle for good? Dell, Lenovo, and even HP sell better thin-and-light laptops.

HP Envy 13 (2016) review

 

Last year, something wonderful happened in the world of Windows laptops. Quality became affordable. Companies like Dell, HP and Asus started selling sleek notebooks made of strong aluminum and carbon fiber for less than $1,000.

Great, light, fast, a little pricey, worth it

 

The HP envy 13t has good battery life, efficient speed, and is very lightweight. I think the computer specifications particularly the 1080p screen and the i7 7500U processor are paramount for a smooth experience. However, I already have had issues with...

Excellent Laptop

 

This is an excellent laptop - it has all the features I want (storage, speed, speakers, etc.) and is very comfortable and fun to work with. Some laptops just don't "feel" right but this one certainly does. I definitely recommend.

Look for another model

 

I customized this laptop with a touch screen and it stopped working after 2 weeks. I still like HP products and will search for another model.
