The HP Envy 13-ba1475ng (Envy 13 Series) 1TB / 32GB is HP's 2016 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 17 x 307 x 195 ( = 0.67 x 12.09 x 7.68 in) display, the Intel Core i7-1165G7 4c/8t 4 x 2.8 - 4.7 GHz, 35 W PL2 / Short Burst, 20 W PL1 / Sustained, Tiger Lake-UP3 chipset. At AED 1,099 in the UAE and ₹26,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The HP Envy 13-ba1475ng excels with its Intel Core i7-1165G7 and NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (2GB VRAM), delivering strong multitasking and light GPU workloads like photo editing or 1080p video rendering. The 16GB DDR4-2933 RAM and dual-channel setup ensure smooth operation, while the 51Wh battery lasts about 7–8 hours under moderate use. Its 1.25kg weight and USB-C PD support make it portable for travel. However, thermal throttling occurs under sustained loads—CPU clocks drop below 3.0GHz after 15 minutes of heavy use, limiting prolonged productivity. Storage is PCIe NVMe but untested for sustained speeds; the single RAM slot caps upgrade potential at 16GB. In UAE at AED 1099, it’s good value because the Tiger Lake CPU and MX450 outperform newer budget models. In India at ₹26990, it’s overpriced—similar Ryzen 5 5500U/16GB laptops with better thermals and Wi-Fi 6 are available for less.
