New laptop alert: HP ENVY 13-ba0505sa



 

Since I'm having to bring my laptop to and from work, I decided to opt for a more portable and mobile device. This laptop is light and very compact which makes it fit in your bag and it's easy to carry. Another important aspect is its battery life. On one occasion, the battery lasted nearly 8 hours and to recharge it to full, it only takes 45 minutes. This is the fastest I've ever seen on a laptop. Paired with a bright, colourful display and loud speakers, it makes for a great after work entertainment. One surprising aspect for me was touch screen was can be handy with certain apps. Let's not forget about the 10th generation Intel i5 processor under the hood that greatly contributes to smooth switching between several tasks and open apps with processes running in the background. I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a solid mid ranger. It looks stylish and feels reliable, probably due to its battery life and the quick charge option. Excellent all-rounder!
