![]() Other artists have reviewed very similar models to our HP Envy. I really tried to get stuck into a complex piece of artwork but I soon gave up and just finished it off using my Cintiq.īut that's just my experience. Most times if you are careful it ignores your palm but every so often it will suddenly recognise touching and draws crazy zig zag lines by itself. All the drawing programs did respond to pressure sensitivity so I'll give it that. The glossy screen also meant the pen glided across too smoothly - but then again that's also the case with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil (hence why I bought a matt screen protector). Unlike the iPad Pro where you can just pick up the thing and draw without any problems. It was just very frustrating trying to get a decent flow going when sketching away. The cursor also sort of hunts around a bit when you hover the pen tip over the screen just prior to making contact. The HP pen is thin and not pleasant to hold and whatever program I use to draw with (I used Sketchable, Leonardo, Autodesk Sketchbook and MediBang Paint Pro) the lines were quite jittery when drawing slowly and there was always a bit of lag. Now that I have tried an active pen on a windows machine, I realise just how far apart these two drawing devices are. When you have used the Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro you take for granted how smoothly it draws. The other annoying thing about drawing on the Envy is that the stylus just doesn't really draw that well. The photos I post in this review also show the banding. On the video above perhaps you can see what I mean. It's very annoying and does not happen with my iPad Pro nor my Cintiq. ![]() When you move the laptop around, the screen exhibits dark and light bands. Although fine for viewing movies and the internet, once you open up a blank canvas to draw on, you can see the banding that occurs when you change viewing angle. The first thing that is glaringly noticeable is the screen itself. But for drawing on, it really isn't much good. This machine is excellent for doing windows laptoppy things like browsing the internet, watching Netflix, writing Word documents playing games etc. My daughter preferred drawing on it by propping it into the tent position.Įnvy folded over and engaged into tablet mode ![]() That's not normally a problem with most laptops but for a convertible, it can weigh quite heavy as you try to hold it in tablet mode. With a 15.6" screen this laptop is fairly large and quite heavy. The tilt stylus pen came with the laptop but it does not attach to the computer in any way. The HP Envy opens just like a regular laptop does. HP ENVY x360 15-cn0000na Convertible Laptop, After much research, I decided upon the HP Envy x360 as it seemed to offer a good power to cost ratio and there are a few artist reviews that seem happy with it. My daughter wanted a laptop for her birthday so I thought why not get her one that could convert into tablet mode and could also accept active pen input, this way she could practice her digital drawing skills as well.
