HP Envy 15-ey0013dx review

A 2022 15-inch convertible with capable integrated graphics, 64GB of RAM, and a strong overall score

The HP Envy 15-ey0013dx is a 2022 15.6-inch convertible at $471, above the convertible median of $356. A Ryzen 5 5625U with Radeon Vega graphics and 64GB of RAM gives it a well-rounded profile: graphics land above the category median (best_gpu_score 12.65), RAM is in the "pro" tier (double the median), and the overall score of 63 is in the top quartile. The trade-off is weight — at 1.83kg it is heavier than typical for a convertible.

Capable integrated graphics for everyday media and light gaming

The Radeon Vega integrated graphics give a score of 12.65 — about 229% above the convertible median — and the capability data backs it up for light gaming: Overwatch, GTA V, and Rainbow Six Siege all clear the minimum bar, and Visual Studio Code meets its minimum for development. The 64GB of RAM gives genuine headroom for multitasking and dev work. One honest limit: the photo-design and 3D-modeling indices land low (18 and 22), so while everyday media and light gaming are comfortable, serious creative or 3D work is not this machine's strength.

The trade-off is weight, not capability

At 1.83kg, this Envy is about 26% heavier than the convertible median of 1.45kg — the one peer-relative weakness. For a 2-in-1 that may be used as a tablet, that extra weight is noticeable. The absolute weak spot by level is photo-design (index 18), so weight is the trade-off versus peers while creative work is the capability ceiling.

A steeper modern depreciation curve

From an original price near $1,500, the Envy has depreciated to $471 at about 12% per year — the steepest rate in this peer range — with a projected two-year value near $365, about a 22% further drop. As a recent machine it still carries a relatively fast decline.

Where it sits among peers

Priced below premium convertibles: an HP Elite Dragonfly G2 ($505) costs more, while an HP Elite x360 830 G9 ($430) or EliteBook 830 G8 x360 ($422) come in cheaper. For the 64GB of RAM and capable Vega graphics, the price is competitive within the convertible tier.

Bottom line

At $471 this is fairly priced for the class — a 2022 convertible with capable integrated graphics for everyday media and light gaming, 64GB of RAM, and a top-quartile overall score. The compromises are weight (1.83kg, heavy for a 2-in-1) and limited photo-design/3D capability. A solid pick for everyday media, light gaming, and dev work; not for creative or modeling workloads.
