i owned the envy 13 x360. I upgraded the storage to 480GB. 256GB is a little too small.
Screen and color is good. Battery is around 5-6 hours for surfing (need to tweak the power). Can do some light gaming. If you want to make it last longer (i use the energizer XP20001PD), you will need a PD powerbank that can supply about 45W power.
The convertible ultrabook is around 1.2kg (feel like holding x1 carbon) compared to A485 which is around 1.6kg (without the bigger second battery), if you add the powerbank which is around 400gm, it will be around 1.6kg.
Bad thing about ryzen is that, it takes 1GB out of the 8GB to use for the dedicated GPU and you left with about 7GB to use.. and windows 10 itself use about 1-2GB.. so you're left with about 5GB of memory to use.
Another thing is that the face recognition works fine in dark since it has IR camera but no fingerprint.
If the ryzen can be improved further (dedicated ram and improved for GPU) and lenovo maintains the A series next 2 years, i'll consider buying one..
Seriously thinking about Envy as I am looking for that kind of laptop, look nice, ample RAM, light with good display. Touchscreen (use on the road a lot, and with win10, this is very good feature). That's why I cannot consider Lenove720s Ryzen, similar spec no touchscreen Screen and color is good. Battery is around 5-6 hours for surfing (need to tweak the power). Can do some light gaming.

As currently using Vaio-13, I5, 4GB, 128 GB SSD, do this purchase feel an upgrade to current one?
