HP Envy 13 Cyber Monday deal
If you're looking for the best Black Friday laptop deal for students, this is the one to get.
While we haven't yet reviewed this exact Envy 13 model, the previous version is still our favorite laptop for students because of its gorgeous design and a good blend of performance and battery life.
This particular model is very similar to the 2019 version we reviewed, except it uses more powerful 11th Gen Intel Core processors, specifically, the Core i5-1135G7, along with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.
In our Envy 13 review, we praised the laptop as a cheaper alternative to $1,000+ models like the Dell XPS 13 or HP Spectre x360.
Along with 11-plus hours of battery life, the Envy 13 has a sleek, ultraportable chassis, fast performance, and powerful speakers. Best of all, the Envy 13 starts at a reasonable price, which is hundreds less than the competition. In many ways, the Envy 13 is what we wanted the previous MacBook Air to be.
If you have a larger budget, consider the new MacBook Air with M1, which is currently $100 off at B&H Photo Video. But if you're looking to spend less than $700, this is a hard deal to pass up.
Black Friday is here and we’re seeing tons of fantastic deals on today’s top mobile tech. Be sure to check our Cyber Monday 2020 deals hub for the best holiday discounts.
