The HP Envy 16 is an excellent, high-end laptop that I fell in love with almost immediately. Spending more time with the Envy 16 only reinforces my belief that this is probably one of the best all-around choices. Whether it’s for work, personal use, or casual gaming, the Envy 16 has you covered.
Inside, you’ll find powerful specs matched to a sleek aluminum chassis that give this laptop an overall premium vibe. It’s equipped with a 12th-generation Intel Core i9 CPU, an incredible 32GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU with 6GB of VRAM to run new games with ease. Of course, powerful specs mean nothing without a gorgeous display, but luckily the HP Envy 16 fits that bill as well, with a stunning 16-inch 4K OLED display.
Is the Envy 16 one of the best gaming laptops? Probably not, especially when compared to laptops designed for gaming, like the Envy 16’s gaming competitor, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 . But compared to some of the best high-end laptops built for content creators, like Dell’s Precision 5470, the Envy 16 could easily fool you into thinking it was built just for gaming. It’s cool to the touch — sturdy, but not too heavy. It looks beautiful on a desk, and it’s also good for the environment. It’s a win-win-win.
As Billy Mays would say, “But wait, there’s more!” Once you open the Envy 16, you’re greeted by a stunning 16-inch display with thin side bezels that aren’t too noticeable except for the larger bottom bezel. The island-style keyboard is sandwiched between two speakers, and the word “Envy” is printed in a modern box font.
Flip the Envy 16 over, and there’s a long fan vent that takes up almost half of the bottom of the laptop. Two thin rubber strips (one on the front of the laptop, the other near the hinge) hold the laptop up, giving all that hot air some breathing room. Then, on the left and right corners of the front, you’ll find two speaker grilles. HP ENVY 16 Performance
As a reminder, the HP Envy 16 is equipped with a 12th-generation Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM (plus 6GB of dedicated VRAM), and a 2TB TLC M.2 SSD.
With up to 32GB of RAM, it’s no surprise that the Envy 16 was able to handle everything I threw at it. I fired up YouTube and Netflix on Google Chrome and played a video each, with about 30 other tabs open from different websites. The fans were barely audible, the laptop didn’t get hot at all, and I could still type in Google Docs without any lag.
The Envy 16 scored extremely well on the Geekbench 5.4 overall performance benchmark, with a score of 11,621, but not as good as the Strix Scar 17 (13,209). The Dell Precision 5470 scored very similarly to the Envy 16 (11,040), but the average premium laptop scored about half as much (5,895).
On the Handbrake test, the Envy 16 transcoded a 4K video to 1080p in just 6 minutes and 10 seconds, beating the 9:58 average for premium laptops. The Dell Precision 5470 took an extra 18 seconds (6:28); the Strix Scar 17 surpassed the Envy 16 with an impressive 4:42. HP ENVY 16 BATTERY LIFE
With the HP Envy 16, you can have your cake and eat it too. What I mean by that is, you get powerful specs with great performance and pretty goodHP Envy 16 battery life. The Envy 16 lasted 9 hours and 21 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brightness.
While the Envy 16’s battery life is good enough for a full workday, it’s a bit below average compared with other premium laptops. The average for premium laptops is 10 hours and 35 minutes. The Envy 16’s content creator competitor, the Dell Precision 5470, lasted even longer, at 11 hours and 38 minutes.
The Envy 16’s gaming competitor, the Asus Strix Scar 17 (2022) G733Z, can’t even come close to the web-surfing Asus Strix Scar 17 batterylife. The Strix Scar 17 lasted just 6 hours and 20 minutes, a full three hours less than the Envy 16. However, we also tested the Envy 16’s battery life (PCMark 10) while gaming. It lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes, while the Strix Scar 17 lasted 1 hour and 10 minutes. For both laptops, it’s a smart idea to keep them plugged in while gaming — but the fan noise will be louder if you do so.
