The HP Envy x360 15 is the bigger, younger sibling of the 13-inch HP Envy x360 we reviewed in late-2022. That one spent a good while on our guide to the best 2-in-1 laptops for creatives, so with this bigger model and newer components, surely it’s a shoo-in for our next update. Right?

We got a model in for testing to find out, and found that while the screen is as good as ever, and the 2-in-1 functionality is brilliant (even if it does feel bulky at this bigger size), the power fits a student laptop more than one for a professional with high-end requirements.
