Hi guys,

First post here despite lurking for many years. Does anyone know when exactly the rest of the new HP Envy 13 range will be available?
So far only 2 models - 8th Gen i5 and i7 with the MX150 GPU are available and both are in Silver bangwall.gif But I saw the Pale Gold models
on display in Singapore and it is absolutely beautiful. Just got tired of talking to HP Malaysia as they either tell you it's launching end
AUG / early SEP or we have no idea the next moment.

Cheers,
VaN

Why don't get the older models? Almost the same

Aesthetic reasons, bro - I know I'm being lame but I like the new design cues better. Less sharp edges and it looks much
more refined. Tried out the display unit in S'pore - fit and build quality is better and the full HD screen is slightly brighter
compared to the current AD series. The Spectre x360 is also another option I'm looking at - need to get a work notebook
soon to replace my old Vostro 14 ..

Cheers,
VaN

Are you open to other options?

Yes - also looking at XPS 13 9360 / XPS 15 9560 since we mainly use Dell units here in the office.

Cheers,
VaN.

Budget?

Trying to keep it within the RM 4K to 5.5K mark - ideally something I can use for 2 years at least ..

Budget - rm3.5k

I5, 8gb ram, 256 ssd, prefer lightweight <1.5kg, good display with max 14".

Currently checking on acer swift 5/lenovo ideapad 720s/asus ux331... Any better suggestion?

Thx.

You could also add the new HP Envy 13-AH series into the mix - meets all your requirements and is within the budget. The
new range comes with a 360GB SSD for the i5 model ...
