Design

It’s been three years since we last checked out an Envy 15 clamshell and the latest model brings significant changes both inside and out. The newer design is smaller in footprint because of the thinner bezels but thicker in size because of the much faster processors inside. HP has also dropped the old “hooked” hinge design in favor of regular hinges akin to the MacBook Pro for a more professional no-frills look. Hinge rigidity could be stiffer nonetheless. The lid tends to teeter a bit when adjusting angles which doesn’t give a sense of longevity.

Processor

The HP ENVY 15-EP0033TX is equipped with the Intel Core i7-10870H is a high-end processor for laptops with eight cores based on the Comet Lake architecture (CML-H, 4th generation of Skylake). The processor clocks at between 2.2 and 5 GHz (4.2 with all 8 cores, 4.8 GHz without Thermal Velocity boost) and can execute up to sixteen threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. The processor is still manufactured on the old 14nm (14nm++) process. Compared to the predecessors, the Comet Lake-H series CPUs offer only increased clock rates. Compared to the faster Core i7-10875H, the 10870H’s base clock and Boost clock are both 100 MHz slower.

GPU Performance 

Though HP isn’t marketing the Envy 15 Core i7 10th Gen as a gaming laptop, its GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q GPU is wholly capable of playing the latest titles at 1080p. Raw performance is only about 5 to 10 percent slower than the regular mobile GeForce RTX 2060 as found on most dedicated gaming laptops. Upgrading from the GTX 1650 Ti or GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q option to our RTX 2060 Max-Q will net about 65 percent and 15 percent faster graphics performance, respectively, on top of any RTX-specific features.
