Is the HP ENVY x360 good for video editing?

It handles light editing and photo work, thanks to 16GB of RAM and the Core i7. Heavy 4K timelines will struggle, mainly because the hard drive is slow and the processor is an older generation.

Can I use it as a tablet?

Yes. The 360-degree hinge folds flat into tablet mode. At 15.6 inches it is large and heavy to hold for long, so it works better propped in tent or stand mode.

This configuration uses a 1TB hard drive, not an SSD. That gives plenty of storage but slower startup and app loading than solid-state rivals.

Is the screen good for drawing?

The Full HD IPS touchscreen is bright and responsive to touch, and the convertible modes suit sketching. It is a touchscreen, not a pen-input tablet, so check pen support before buying for serious drawing.

How does it compare with newer convertibles?

Newer 2-in-1s are lighter, use SSDs and newer processors, and last longer on battery. This model counters with a large screen, 16GB of RAM and a big hard drive.

What comes in the box?

The laptop and its power adapter. A stylus and other accessories are not included.
