HP has once again redesigned the HP Pavilion dv8000. Envy laptop lineThis time, it’s about the people the company works with rather than the specs. Envy x360 is the headliner and the 15.6″ convertible PC that’s IMAX Enhanced certified. If you buy the version that has an OLED display (only in 1080p), then you can watch Disney+ movies DTS:X spatial sound allows you to hear the audio in a taller ratio. You can also expect exclusive HDR content remastered. However, we wouldn’t purchase a computer for the sole purpose of watching old movies.

HP’s newest models have other benefits, too. The new Envy x360 15.6 and 14 inch models have better screen-to body ratios. They also feature the latest processors (12th-gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen) as well as upgraded webcams that include auto lock/wake and manual privacy shutters. The two-in-1 also comes with GeForce RTX 3150 graphics, compared to the RTX 2150 in the older model. RTX 4050 The battery life is up to 15-hours, compared to 10 hours for the predecessor. The two x360s are limited to 16GB of RAM.

The Envy 17.3″ (pictured in the middle) shares the same camera, Core 13th generation and RTX 3050 graphics as the x360 15.6″. The battery life is only extended by a half-hour (total of nine). The 32GB RAM limit and optional 4K display should be helpful if you are juggling multiple heavy-duty applications.

Envy’s 14-inch x360 is available now for $850. The 15.6-inch version will be available before the end April at a price of $950. Envy 17 will not be available until May, with a starting price of $1150. These aren’t radical revisions, but the IMAX-certified laptop may be worth considering if you just have to watch the latest Marvel movies in the best-possible quality — so long as you don’t need 4K, at least.
