There are no special accessories in the box of the Envy 15 x360: You only get the standard things like power adaptor, power cord and some quick-start guides. Another two meters and another wall between the notebook and the router results in a drop to 2/5 or 1/5 bars and websites load significantly slower. The signal with a distance of ten meters and through three walls from the router is not as good as many other devices as a result: It fluctuates between 4/5 and 3/5 bars. Our Fritz-Box showed a maximum transfer rate of 150 Mbps. However, WLAN connections are limited to the standards 802.11 b/g/n and you only get one antenna to receive and transmit each, so really fast 802.11 n networks are impossible. The LAN module actually supports Gigabit networks, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15, for example, is slower in this regard. Still, the Envy 15 x360 is a very flexible device and supports more operating modes than the IdeaPad Flex 15, which cannot be folded back completely. This can become quite tricky with a weight of 2.3 kg, and the case is obviously much thicker than a normal tablet as well. Finally, you can fold the display back completely and use the device like a tablet. You can also fold the display back and use the base unit as a stand. You can use it like a tent, for example, to make touchscreen inputs or watch a movie. The highlight of the concept is obviously the 360 degrees hinges, which allow unusual positions for a laptop.

It was no problem to push it back in place, but we expect a better build quality from a device with a premium claim.

The display cover and the display frame displaced relative to one another, and the display frame even lost the connection at one point. The overall stability can convince, but the display can be twisted quite a lot. The Envy 15 x360 does, however, look pretty svelte thanks to the implied wedge-shaped design. The rounded corners are used everywhere at the case, for example, at the touchpad and the keyboard.Д¬ompared to the Sony Vaio Fit 15A Multi-FlipВ or the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15, our review sample is a bit heavier and also slightly thicker from the side: We can measure a height of 23.8 millimeters. The overall design is pretty restrained and pleasant with many roundings, but maybe too round for some users. The touchscreen is protected by a thin glass layer. Silver-gray is the color of choice for the HP Envy 15 x360, which means you quickly notice the high-quality material: The lid is made of a magnesium material, while the area around the keyboard is brushed aluminum. Let's see how the HP Envy 15 x360 performs. However, none of these devices could convince us completely so far, there were always compromises. Slightly smaller is the 14-inch device Lenovo Flex 2 14. It is a bit exotic with this form factor, but it is not alone on the market: Lenovo also offers such a concept with the IdeaPad Flex 15, Sony sells the Vaio Fit 15A Multi-FlipВ and Acer the Aspire R7-571G. This could also be an issue for the HP Envy 15-u001ng x2 since it is a 15.6-inch convertible with more than 2 kilograms. The advantage: A tablet can be combined with the advantages of a solid keyboard, but the devices are also usually heavier than standard tablets in return, which means you cannot hold them in your hands for such a long time. This means you can use the device like a normal laptop with a touchscreen, but you can also turn the display completely around thanks to the flexible hinges, so you can use the convertible like a tablet. The addition x360 describes HP's convertible design. One highlight of HP's Envy-series is the nice metal cases that are the big differentiator to the less expensive Pavilion devices.
