HP Envy 13 with Intel Tiger Lake and GeForce MX450 in review

[Redaktion]

HP's compact Envy 13 is one of the few subnotebooks with a dedicated graphics card. The current model is equipped with the GeForce MX450, but is the GPU even worth it in view of the fast integrated graphics unit?

Tiger Lake notebooks without Thunderbolt should not even be reviewed. They are the trashiest of laptops. Intel 4-core CPUs are already behind AMD 8-cores and now they want to take away the one advantage the platform has over USB🤦🏻‍♂️

What a lazy a** review, since one of the highlights of this notebook is it has a DGPU you would think  the would  review its gaming capabilities a little more to see what this laptop can really do.
All we see are three games ( one which is Xplane that most wouldn't even attempt on this laptop since you need very beefy hardware to run smoothly)
Notebookcheck used to be my go to site for reviews but they are a shadow of there former selves.
Yes this isn't a gaming laptop but some people still like to game especially with the MX450 .
What a fail of a review

Agree with #2. Really dropped the ball with this one. A single 3DMark run? No stress test? Hope this doesn't become a trend.

Also, the X-Plane runs in your recent Tiger Lake reviews look buggy. All the 'low' setting runs have lower FPS than the medium and high...
