HP Envy Move review: Personal computing on the go

₹1,24,999) came along. This is an all-in-one in the traditional sense, packing in all the regular PC components and a soundbar behind a large display, but HP’s latest Envy truly goes rogue by including something that puts the ‘Move’ in its name – a 6-cell 83-watt-hour internal battery. It gives the Envy Move the flexibility to be set down just about anywhere there’s a flat surface, no matter whether there’s a power outlet close by or not.

Helping its cause is its rather compact 21.74 x 14.43 inches dimensions, and while its 4.1-kg weight means smaller kids should be wary of moving it around, it’s no heavier than some of the larger 17-inch gaming laptops. HP has kitted the Envy Move with an integrated handle that hangs off the top of the rear panel via a sturdy strap and handle, and this helps move the Move from place to place much like you would carry a large cloth shopping bag. Bonus: the handle doesn’t hang loose, attaching magnetically to the chassis when not in use.

A fabric pouch on the bottom rear holds the bundled keyboard-trackpad combo when in transit. But the real magic is how the Envy Move stands upright, and it’s a bit of design genius that elicits surprise and delight no matter how jaded you are by consumer technology. It’s the spring-loaded retractable feet that swing into action the moment you set the Move down on a hard surface and help it stand independently – and the moment you pick it up to move it elsewhere, the feet swivel and disappear under the base.
