HP Envy 13 is planning to take on MacBook's features at a much lower price. It seems pretty clear that it wants to get head-to-head with Apple's flagship as it looks a tad similar to the MacBook Pro.
According to Tech Times, HP's laptop is currently one of the thinnest the company has ever produced. But specs wise, how will it fare against Apple's powerful MacBook Pro?
MacBook Pro Vs. HP Envy: Performance
Performance wise, the two flagships are almost identical. Just like Apple, HP Envy 13 will feature an Intel Kaby Lake CPU. These processors refine graphics, improves video encoding/decoding engine as well as Speed Shift v2 technology, making the laptop snappier and more responsive. Both will have an 8GB RAM capacity and a USB-C Port.
Users who are keen on editing videos, images or even playing games won't be having a difficult time with the MacBook Pro 2016 and HP Envy 13.
MacBook Pro Vs. HP Envy: Design
When it comes to design, still, no one beats the all-metal casing of a MacBook Pro. HP may be much thinner than the MacBook with a 12.95mm width but Apple still has the upper hand as it will be sporting a high-resolution 5K display, two times better than HP's Envy 13.
MacBook Pro Vs. HP Envy: Specs
Unlike the MacBook, HP Envy doesn't have an OLED touchbar and an ID touchpad. Both features make the MacBook series stand out from the rest of the flagships. Envy 13 has a higher battery capacity that lasts for up to 14 hours compared to MacBook Pro's 10 hour battery capacity.
The two laptops will have powerful integrated speakers. Although the MacBook Pro sets itself apart with a more enhanced sound output, HP will also have an impressive external audio.
One more configuration to consider about the new MacBook Pro is its AMD Polaris GPUs. This may be particularly important given an overhauled chassis, said to be both thinner and with a smaller footprint, also using shallower curves along the edges, andantech reported.
MacBook Pro Vs. HP Envy: Release Date and Price
HP Envy 13 is priced at $849 and will hit the stores on Oct. 26 while the 2016 MacBook Pro 13" comes in at $1,099, which might be unveiled by the end of this month.
