The HP Envy 13-ba1475ng (Envy 13 Series) 512GB / 16GB is HP's 2018 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 1,199 in the UAE and ₹29,990 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 creative workloads, while 16GB DDR4-2933 RAM ensures smooth operation. The 51Wh battery sustains 7–8 hours under mixed use, aided by Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 efficiency. It targets professionals needing portability for travel, light photo editing, or coding on the go, with a fingerprint reader for quick logins. Its weakness is thermal throttling: sustained CPU loads above 20W cause performance drops, and the single USB-C port limits expansion. Storage is SATA-based, not NVMe, slowing file transfers. In UAE at AED 1199, it’s good value because the Tiger Lake CPU and MX450 outperform older i5 models at this price. In India at ₹29990, it’s overpriced—competing Ryzen 5 laptops with NVMe storage and better cooling are available for similar cost.
