Traditionally, the Envy line has been HP’s midrange option; it’s a rung above the budget Pavilion, but a rung below the flagship Spectre. Disabling the hardware acceleration in Premiere and relying solely on software got the job done, but it took an hour and 15 minutes. This model, which starts at $699, really blurs the latter line.

We thought the hardware looked great, and once again, the Arm processor let Microsoft make it thinner than the Intel-powered Surface Pro. And while budget Google Chromebooks can often run perfectly well on Arm, most have adopted Intel and AMD these days. Apple seems extremely confident in its transition to Arm-based processors, though.

So, whether you’re locked into a budget of $900 or have enough to get the upgraded model that I’m using, both configurations punch above Intel processors commonly found in their respective price ranges. I was also pleased with how quickly it can export video in Adobe Premiere Pro.

The company has also faced some driver issues on the GPU side (which have improved), and it struggled to meet demand for its hardware last year. From heavy dual-screen gaming rigs to budget laptops for students, AMD is going to be everywhere in 2021. But most importantly, it’s going to be paired with Nvidia’s top GPUs.

It’s faster than the IdeaPad Gaming 3, and as a result, it’s not as budget friendly Many companies use Intel or AMD’s yearly leap in processor generations as an opportunity to completely reinvent their laptops or desktops. Lenovo hasn’t gone that far with its 15-inch Legion 5i, but I’m not complaining too much.
