Performance scores
HP Envy x360 15 (2023)
The Envy x360 15 (2023) is the dedicated-card member of the pair: a Core i5 1335U with an RTX 3050 and 4GB of VRAM plus 16GB of RAM at $921. The formula the 2024 refresh abandoned, at the price the 2024 refresh charges more for.
Where it holds up
The graphics score of 63.1 runs over fifteen-fold above the convertible-class median of 3.84 — the stated strength — and the axes follow: photo design at 90 is top-tier, light office work at 77.19 sits high, overall performance at 56.47 beats the class median by 51%, and gaming at 58 with modeling and engineering CAD at 55 all hold mid-tier. Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V and Rainbow Six Siege clear their recommended bars on a convertible — measured results, not estimates, and the sheet's quiet strength.
Where it falls short
Weight at 2.19kg is the stated weakness — 51% above the convertible median of 1.45 — and portability at 34.3 sits in the low band, the cost of the 15-inch body carrying a real card. Memory stops at 16GB against the class median of 32, the sheet's tightest spec ceiling, and value at 56.5 is mid-band.
Price and depreciation
At $921 with a 12.87% annual rate, the two-year projection lands near $695 — a mid-pack curve the capability sheet mostly justifies.
Alternatives to consider
The 2024 sibling in this batch costs $163 more and drops the card for an unmeasured integrated platform — the rare upgrade that argues for staying put. The Spectre x360 16 (2022) at $138 less offers a similar card in a more premium chassis.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. Top-tier photo work and recommended-bar gaming on a fifteen-fold graphics cushion — the honest convertible trade of weight and memory for real capability — and the measured bars back every claim.
