Here we test the HP Envy x360's storage performance, using CrystalDiskMark 5.1.1.
SSD Performance
The SSD here is quite mid range. Samsung’s drive uses the slower SATA protocol, so its CrystalDiskMark read and write scores are about four times behind the best NVMe hardware. That’s still quick, and still quicker than any hard disk, but other machines will offer more storage speed.
Excellent laptop. Powerful, great display, USB 3.0 and Type-C, wonderful keyboard and large touchpad. Not too keen on Windows 10.
The only Achilles heel I see, using the 940MX instead of the MX150 (GT 1030 laptop)
I have burnt myself in the past with the hp pavilion, this look nice but I’m afraid to trust them 🙁
This is actually a very good laptop – I rate it well. Its not too expensive either. some compromises in regards to performance but enough for what I would need on the move.
It does say it has dual 940s though not just one. That should be more than enough to do anything you need to do and run any game you need to run.
I think that might be a typo
yea, pretty sure its a typo because it should be performing like a 950M if it was 2 940MX in sli in the 3dMark tests.
Hmm, well thats a bummer it would rock if it had two 940s. I did the pounds to dollar conversion and it came up $1560.84, which isnt a lot of money to be honest for decent laptop now a days, so maybe its still a pretty good deal even with just one video card? Are we SURE its a typo?
Yes, its a typo, i compared the benchmark scores it got in 3D mark and times spy to the scores a 950M got and it about half as fast as a 950M. 2 940MX’s would be 768 cores while a 950M is 640 cores. the 940mx in sli should be out performing a 950M in artficial benchmarks not scoring half. Also, at the price of 1560 USD, one can find a laptop with a I7 7700HQ and GTX 1060 or 1070 in it instead.
Ok thank you Decends.
np
HP laptop is actually a very good one. keyboard also nice…i am using it from past 4 years…..
