One of the best value laptops in the HP line is the ENVY series. With premium materials, the ENVY line brings much of the best from HP, without the higher price of some of its more sophisticated lines, such as the Specter series. For 2021, HP updated the ENVY 14 with the latest internals, but also added a 16:10 screen.

HP ENVY 14
Equipped with the latest Intel Tiger Lake platform on the Core i5-1135 G7, the new 14-inch ENVY comes out on the right foot, but the new laptop also features the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q graphics card, meaning this laptop notebook has some very powerful graphics available on a non-gaming laptop. The laptop offers 16 GB of DDR4-3200 and a 256 GB M.2 SSD.
The biggest change for this year, however, is the introduction of a taller 16:10 screen, similar to what we’ve seen on several laptops in recent months. The 1920×1200 resolution IPS panel offers 400 nits of brightness and covers 100% of the sRGB color range. It also includes touch and the bezels offer an 87% screen-to-body ratio.
The laptop has a sandblasted anodized aluminum finish, which means it shouldn’t be as big as a fingerprint magnet as some of the more shiny finishes.
ENVY 14 offers a lot of connectivity, with a Thunderbolt 4 port, as well as two USB Type A ports for legacy devices. There is an HDMI 2.0 output, as well as a Micro SD card reader.
Intel’s AX201 Wi-Fi 6 network adapter powers wireless and brings Bluetooth 5.0 with it.
ENVY 14 offers above average battery capacity, reaching 63 Wh, so the battery life should be very good. It also has a 135 Watt AC adapter.
The new ENVY 14 will be available in January on HP.com from $ 999.
