Thermals punch higher on this laptop than others at this price, with dual intakes for the dual fans (and dual heat pipes) on the laptop's bottom and top. While not a gaming laptop, thanks to the GTX 1650 Ti, you can play something like Fortnite at 45+ frames-per-second on Ultra settings. Thermals punch higher on this laptop than others at this price. The sequential write speeds are on the lower end, but they should not have a material impact on day-to-day operations. The 256GB Toshiba / Kioxia XG6 SSD performs on average for sequential write with other premium laptops in 2021.

That said, it would be nice for HP to at last offer the option for 4K for those who want it (at extra cost and reduced battery life). Bumping up the screen to a higher resolution would affect that negatively. The other issue is the price this laptop, even with the NVIDIA GPU, is in the $1,260 range. Those things are of more value than just super-high resolution. Blacks are intense and almost look AMOLED-like. For one, this is an excellent screen it is bright and it has very good contrast and punchy colors. While some may balk at a 1920x1200 resolution instead of a higher '2K' or '4K,' I would disagree. HP also boasts that this is its first consumer 14-inch laptop with a Delta E. Those are good numbers for a mid-range laptop focused on media production and consumption, but not as high as more premium laptops. AdobeRGB color gamut is 75%, with DCI-P3 coming in at 79%. When set to 0% brightness, the ENVY 14 hits 23 nits, making it OK for viewing with no lights on late at night.Дisplay accuracy is just below HP's rating of 100% sRGB, coming in at 99% - close enough. There was some fall off on the right edge of the display, but otherwise, it was even. The HP ENVY 14 is one of my favorite laptops of the year so far.ДЄccording to the specs, HP says this screen should hit 400 nits of brightness, and in tests, that was accurate, peaking at around 403 nits. The bezels are appropriately thin, and HP rounds the glass at the edges, which is a very pleasing effect. The taller aspect means you can see more controls in an app like Adobe Photoshop due to the increased vertical space compared to typical 16:9 laptops. There is no pen support, but you can use your finger for basic sketches since touch is supported.

There is also an option for a lower-cost non-touch anti-glare option (matte). HP ships the ENVY with a 14-inch 1920x1200 (full HD) glossy touch display with a taller 16:10 aspect ratio. They are pretty good speakers, too, with excellent volume and crispness to them for this price range.

The included Bang & Olufsen software lets you tweak settings via the full equalizer and various presets. There is no option for 4G or 5G LTE, which makes sense, but it would be an excellent option.ДЄudio is handled via dual speakers that are on the bottom edges.

A nicely sized 135-watt charger handles laptop power to keep that NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti GPU humming, although you can charge via the Type-C port if in a pinch.Д¬onnectivity is ideal with both Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. There aren't many laptops that can compete directly with the ENVY 14.ДЇor those ports, there is only one Type-C with full Thunderbolt 4, but you do get two Type-A, a full HDMI, and a microSD card reader, making this a very media-centric laptop ideal for photographers and videographers alike. The entire laptop is like this, with the keyboard, trackpad, speakers, and display (plus bezels) all looking very balanced. HP is particularly good with offsetting ports on each side aiming for some symmetry, and you see that here with the headphone jack and proprietary barrel charger on opposite ends. HP's more premium line, dubbed 'Spectre,' is flashier with gem-cut edges, but I find the ENVY's more traditional silver metal chassis and more conservative looks much more appealing.
