Design
The Envy 16 may look like the Envy 15 at first glance because of their similar color schemes, but there are numerous changes both inside and out. Most noticeably, the Envy 16 is rounder along its edges and corners as opposed to the sharper and flatter Envy 15 design. Meanwhile, the ventilation portion of the bottom panel is raised instead of flat as shown by the pictures below. The palm rest deck and speaker grilles have also been redesigned. Some of these changes seem to be superficial while others should improve the cooling capabilities of the model.
Processor
The HP ENVY 16-H0002TX is equipped with the Intel Core i7-12700H is a high-end mobile CPU for laptops based on the Alder Lake architecture. It was announced in early 2022 and offers 6 performance cores (P-cores, Golden Cove architecture) and 8 efficiency cores (E-cores, Gracemont architecture). The P-cores support Hyper-Threading leading to 20 supported threads when combined with the E-cores. The clock rate ranges from 2.3 to 4.7 GHz on the performance cluster and 1.7 – 3.5 GHz on the efficient cluster. The performance of the E-cores should be similar to old Skylake cores (compare to the Core i7-6920HQ). All cores can use up to 24 MB L3 cache. Compared to the 12900H, the 12700H is lower clocked and offers only “Essentials” vPro features.
HP has made no changes to the feedback or feel of the keyboard when compared to the 2020 Envy 15. On one hand, users who are accustomed to Envy keyboards won’t have any problems, but on the other hand, we would have preferred a typing experience closer to the firmer and more satisfying keys of a Spectre 15 or EliteBook model. There are two minor superficial changes worth mentioning. The secondary function of the F12 key has now been changed to a ‘System Event Utility’ function which is essentially a Quick Launch key for HP Command Center, Omen Gaming Hub, myHP, and HP Palette. Secondly, the secondary function of the F1 key now launches a popup for selecting emojis and GIFs much like on the latest Pavilion.
The click pad is larger than the clickpad on the outgoing Envy 15 (12.5 x 8 cm vs. 11.5 x 7.5 cm). The surface is smooth and almost textureless with just minimal sticking if gliding at slower speeds for more accurate clicks. Meanwhile, feedback when clicking on the click pad is relatively soft and quiet for a spongy feel. A stronger and more satisfying click would have made the click pad easier to use.
