HP Envy x360 15 (W/ Core i7-7500U & GTX 940MX Review)

Rating: 7.0.

The latest laptop from HP is a high-quality unit that’s taking aim at creative types, media fans and home users – anyone really, who wants a versatile convertible machine that pairs power with style. As its name suggests, the HP Envy x360 has a hinge that spins its touchscreen through 360 degrees, so it can be used as a laptop or a tablet. The touchscreen comes with a stylus, so HP says it’s perfect for creative professionals who need to create detailed, accurate drawings.

The 15.6 inch design means there’s plenty of screen real estate, and HP hasn’t tried to make this machine impossibly slim and light – so it functions well as a laptop, too.

The HP Envy x360 costs £1,149, which plants it firmly in the middle of the notebook market – can it succeed against strong and versatile competition?
