HP Envy x360 15 vs Microsoft Surface Pro 9

The HP ENVY x360 13 (2020) is a convertible 2-in-1 laptop available in a wide variety of configurations. It has a metal chassis that feels well-built, with a 360-degree hinge that lets you flip the screen around for use as a tablet. It's very portable, and it has excellent battery life, enough to get you through a typical workday of light productivity and video playback on a full charge. Our unit has a 1000 cd/m² display that's well-suited for bright settings, as well as an integrated privacy filter to hide the content of your screen from prying eyes

I also noticed the battery life with just web browser, OneNote (inking and audio recording), and perhaps Adobe Acrobat drain the battery a lot sooner than expected. The machine is new and hardly used for anything but grad school stuff. I think I used it for two or three school day and it was dying.

The weight and size are ideal to include the ten-key. Camera/Mic/Speaker are adequate for Zoom/Teams calls; looks and sounds great - no additional equipment needed.

Cradling its 1.9-pound weight in one arm is no strain. Even the trimmest 2-in-1 convertible laptop can’t compare; for instance, the HP Spectre x360 13.
