HP ENVY x360 13 (2022)
The ENVY x360 13 (2022) refreshes the formula with a Core i5 1230U and 16GB of RAM at $783 — dropping the dedicated card for the efficiency platform, keeping the small chassis. What the sheet gained and lost tracks exactly what you would expect.
Where it holds up
Mobility at 92 is the stated strength and the best mobility reading in this batch — a 35% cushion over the convertible-class median of 68. Portability at 77.8 sits in the high band, reliability at 62 adds a 27% cushion, and light office work at 65.93 reaches high with photo design at 37 holding mid-tier — the platform's honest creative shape. The battery-and-carry formula is the machine.
Where it falls short
Memory stops at 16GB against the convertible median of 32, the stated weakness. Overall performance at 32.3 sits in the low band, gaming at 23, modeling at 21, engineering CAD at 25 and photo design at 37 all read low or mid — the efficiency platform's ceiling — and value at 40.75 is mid-tier. The 2021 sibling's dedicated card is exactly what this sheet gave up. No measured game verdicts appear on this sheet.
Price and depreciation
At $783 with an 11.95% annual rate, the two-year projection lands near $610 — a gentle curve appropriate to a chassis-first machine.
Alternatives to consider
The 2021 sibling in this batch costs $117 less and carries the MX450 with measured game results; this 2022 sheet answers with the batch's best mobility reading. The Spectre x360 13 (2022) at the same $783 trades some mobility for a bigger battery.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The most mobile sheet in this batch, full stop — bought with a low-band performance tier, 16GB of RAM and the creative ceiling of an efficiency platform.
