HP Envy Move: Take A Leap In Style

The HP Envy Move revives the portable compact desktop. The product has a cute design, a top-quality screen, a moving handle, a top-notch webcam, and a limited amount of battery power. Although it would look great on an aircraft tray table, the HP Envy Move ($899.99 starting price; $1,209.99 as tested) is an all-in-one (AIO) desktop with a handle for convenient transport from the living room to the den or kitchen. The Dell XPS 18 and Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon, which were gigantic tablets, popularized this odd notion a decade ago. Families looking for a portable home PC with a larger-than-laptop display would like the Move. The product would look amazing on a tray table at an airline. The product is an all-around desktop that has a carrying handle that makes it easy to carry it from one room to the next.

Specifications Of HP Envy Move

HP Envy Move: The Price Of The Desktop PC

The HP Envy Move is available at a starting price of $899 and comes with a 23.8-inch QHD touch display, a 13th Gen Intel Core i3-1315U CPU with Intel UHD Graphics, a 256GB SSD, and 8GB of memory. You can upgrade to the i5-1335U model for $1219, which comes with additional storage of 1TB and 16GB of RAM. The display remains the same for all models, from top to bottom.

HP Envy Move: Design and Display

The Envy Move looks big and heavy, weighing about 9 pounds and measuring 21.7 x 14.4 x 5.8 inches, but has a good weight distribution, making it quite portable. The Envy Move is thin and elegant, coming in an all-white chassis that would fit into most rooms and setups. The back pocket provided for carrying the Bluetooth keyboard as well is a welcome addition. There is a single HDMI port and two USB-C ports provided. The display is a 23.8-inch IPS touchscreen with QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution. The Envy is not for heavy gaming but rather serves as a productivity machine with some light surfing, streaming, homework, etc., as expected from a mobile processor with an integrated GPU.

Where it shines is with the integrated battery, which not only makes it portable but also makes it easy to work away from a power outlet at self-leisure, which is brilliant. What’s missing, though, is an audio jack, an Ethernet port, and an SD or microSD card slot. The display is bright and vivid, with narrow bezels and good viewing angles. The panel is rated at 300 nits for peak brightness. Colors are vibrant and saturated but can be tweaked as per liking by adjusting the brightness and contrast or by adjusting the available presets like reading, gaming, movies, night, enhanced, etc

HP Envy Move: Outlook

The HP Envy Move may not possess the most amazing specifications, but its target audience comprises mostly students, remote workers, and families. The product does not require you to run games such as Doom Eternal at a speed of 200 frames per second.

HP Envy Move: Battery Life

The concerning fact about the product is that the in-built battery lasts only up to 4 hours on a single charge. This clashes with the portability of the machine and the ease of using it away from wall outlets.

HP Envy Move: Pros and Cons

Though unique, the Envy Move offers a novel answer to hybrid working issues. It has a bigger display than a laptop but can be carried about the house and stored in a cabinet. You can pull it out, turn it on, and go without cords or peripherals. At £1,200, it’s expensive, but it feels well-made and smartly built, and the display looks fantastic with broad viewing angles and brilliant colors. We’ll hopefully review one of these shortly, so stay tuned.
