Hp spectre x360 vs hp envy x3609/9/2023 As of now I'm writing this on a Razer Blade Stealth GTX model which I recently accquired and I'm mighty impressed with it in terms of build quality and overall feel. I tend to want my laptops to last me a long while. Here's the thing, I'm kind of "damaged" from the mac user experience and it's phenomenal build quality. I'm coming from a Macbook pro 13 since 7 years back and were very happy with the overall machine but still missed some pc perks and computational power. Great comparison of the two! I've been checking around alot for a new laptop to be my all in one setup companion and I've also managed to try three fairly different ones thus far but aren't satisfied to 100%. The Envy is a great machine though if you can overlook the bezels. If you ever plan to use an eGPU, never pair an NVIDIA dGPU with an NVIDIA eGPU it is a world of frustration. I supplemented the GTX 1650 Ti with a Radeon RX 5700 XT using a Razer Core X. Overall, the smaller bezels and greater versatility of the Spectre won me over. There is a huge gap in performance between the GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q and RTX 2060 Max-Q, but the GTX will still net you playable framerates at medium graphics in 1080p. The Envy has an RTX 2060 Max-Q, not the full performance version. Just to note, I bought the Spectre with the GTX 1650 Max-Q configuration, but the system actually has a GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q. This is not really an issue on the Envy though as has excellent thermals. I think it is a plus as I can put the Spectre in clamshell mode when connecting it an external monitor knowing that it won't overheat. It does not exhaust heat out the back or onto the display as many laptops do. The Spectre has fan vents on the side of its chassis.Both have four sets of speakers, I think, but the ones in the Spectre sound richer. The Spectre has better speakers in my opinion.I cannot hear any coil whine on the Spectre. This may not be the case on other Envy's though. It was so loud that I could hear it when typing on the machine with it placed on my lap. The Envy's display can be opened with one hand.The Envy has vapour chamber cooling, which means that it runs a fair bit cooler than the Spectre under load.With that said, my Spectre runs silently when running on battery power, albeit having made a few performance tweaks. For some reason, the Spectre does not support Quiet mode. Both support HP Command Center, but the Spectre supports fewer fan profiles.Its fans are so loud that I needed to wear headphones whenever I gamed. The Envy also gets significantly louder under load than the Spectre. Even if the CPU is running at around 45 ☌, its fans will be running at high RPMs. The Envy has terrible fan management when plugged in.The Spectre comes with a pen and sleeve in the box, the Envy just comes with a charger.Both have touchscreens, but the Spectre supports pen input.The Spectre has one M.2 2280 and soldered RAM. The Envy has SODIMM replaceable RAM and two M.2 2280 slots.The Envy has a bigger battery (83 Wh to 72 Wh without checking). The Spectre responds slower to be switched on for some reason. On the Spectre, it sits in the top left corner of the chassis. On the Envy, its power button is integrated on the keyboard.Both work in the same way though and remove the camera from the Device Manager. The Spectre has a physical camera kill switch.A 100 W Thunderbolt 3 charger appears to charger the Spectre as quickly as its 135 W charger does. Both devices have two Thunderbolt 3 ports but the Envy cannot be charged through its ports. The Spectre also has a Windows Hello IR camera.In my opinion, the Spectre is more comfortable to type on, but only because its keys are slightly further forwards than the Envy's. They use the same keys I believe, albeit in different colours. The typing experience is the same, notwithstanding their different layouts and positioning. On the Spectre, it sits below the keyboard. The Envy also has a fingerprint scanner integrated within the main keyboard deck. The Spectre has a numberpad, if that is important to you. That is not really the case with the Spectre as it has thin bezels on all four sides. It is really noticeable and made me wish that HP had gone with a 16:10 aspect ratio.
