Promo Code NATION10% gets an extra 10% off
$719.10 with code applied.

Update 2
Now 12.5% cashback through Shopback.com bringing the price down to $620.76!! Now finished.

Update 3
The HP website has now updated the page as a back to school deal so it might be available for longer.

This has been online for quite a while and I am surprised that no one else has posted it yet.
Seems like quite a good deal with these specs-

Intel® Core™ i5-8265U (1.6 GHz base frequency, up to 3.9 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 6 MB cache, 4 cores)
Windows 10 Home 64
13.3" diagonal FHD IPS BrightView micro-edge WLED-backlit (1920 x 1080)
8 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM (onboard)
256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD

Seems quite similar to this from JB that was $999 over the holidays but is now back to $1299.
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/hp-envy-13-aq1025tu-13-3-…

The envy has the newer 10th gen i5 and a touch screen but other than that they seem almost the same.
Will not likely be up for much longer so better be quick.

    Also has similar specs to the Acer deal but is $200 cheaper.

    I checked out the Acer at JB today and while it is super light I think that the HP metal body will feel better in the hand.

      Do you know which has better battery life and whether this laptop can be charged via USB C?

      • PVA on 04/01/2020 - 10:58

        Reading on the site, the specs say data only.

      • Xeonelite on 04/01/2020 - 15:21

        It can, over the Thunderbolt 3 port. I've got the laptop and tested it.

        • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2020 - 15:40

          yep just bought it. Charging it with my phone charger, it's not fast but it works :D

          Do you know if charging it via this port will damage the laptop in anyway?

        • Butt Scratcher on 11/01/2020 - 18:26

          Are you sure it's the same laptop?

          This doesnt have thunderbolt, it has usb 3.1 gen 1 (at least according to the spec sheet).

    AMD Ryzen 5 3500U CPU V Intel® Core™ i5-8265U, which one is better?

    • pepto on 03/01/2020 - 22:10
      +1

      According to the synthetic benchmarks the Core i5-8265U emerged as a clear winner in this challenge. Despite its lower Base frequency and a larger die, the Intel contender managed to grasp the win from the Ryzen 5 3500U. In theory, both processors should provide similar performance when put in the same conditions.

    Many reviews seem to point out wifi issues with this model

    https://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-Processor-Solid-State-13-…

    Annoying as I was looking at getting this over the Acer

    • pepto on 03/01/2020 - 22:57
      +8

      Read through the reviews and found these two-

      "Hello everyone. First off, IGNORE all the reviews that say wifi issues. I am a computer tech and their problem isnt the computer itself it is McAfee. It disables your internet and wifi access for no reason sometimes. Uninstall that and it will work gloriously. Download malwarebytes and use the free version. That is a strong enough anti virus. This computer is a great notebook. Strong, durable, and light. It's quite powerful and can do everything you need. I recommend it."

      "Nice laptop, no connection issues after uninstalling McAfee."

      Looks like is related to the anti virus software and disabling it and installing something else is a simple fix.

  • ColdSnap on 03/01/2020 - 22:57

    How does this compare to the acer swift 5?

    • pepto on 03/01/2020 - 23:03
      +1

      Acer is lighter, has a matte touchscreen and a newer 10th gen i5 processor.

      This I think is a better looking device, has better speakers and unless you are doing anything heavy duty with it you shouldn't notice any difference in performance. Plus with the vice and cashback is 300 bucks cheaper.

      • Rimas on 03/01/2020 - 23:32

        Besides, it has SD Card reader for those of us who still carry a camera around.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2020 - 10:45

        Is this screen matte or glossy? I have a surface pro at the moment but I want to change to a matte screen.

        • pepto on 04/01/2020 - 11:22
          +1

          Looks like glossy for the HP but the Acer is matte and has a better colour accuracy and higher brightness.

          Coming from a surface pro the HP would seem like a downgrade so the Acer would be better for you IMO.

          • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2020 - 11:59

            @pepto: Thanks a lot and I can charge via USB c too :)

    • Xeonelite on 04/01/2020 - 15:24

      The Acer has Thunderbolt 3, USB-C charging, a better screen (colour accuracy and brightness), a touchscreen AND a 54Wh battery (much better battery life overall, the HP only has 37.7Wh battery). Newer 10th Gen i5 and the Wifi chip (Intel AX201) also supports 802.11ax.

    • Toretto on 04/01/2020 - 08:19

    220 nits… Yucky

    • pepto on 04/01/2020 - 08:37
      +2

      Yeah, it isn't the best but is comparable to other laptops at this price range.
      The Acer has a brighter screen with much better colour accuracy but is 44% more expensive!

      I am still using a 2013 Macbook Air and after looking it up I can see that its max brightness is 300 nits and we rarely use it at max, so 220 should be ok for us…especially at this price!

    Anyone know if you could you use this for video editing? Just to run premiere pro and edit basic 1080p youtube videos.

    • pepto on 04/01/2020 - 08:33

      Shouldn't be a problem, but the screen isn't the best for colour accuracy.
      If you want to do photo/ video editing and have a goo representation of the colours then the acer deal is probably the better bet because the screen is a it brighter and much more colour accurate.

      Samsung 960 or 970 Pro, of course… if you're looking at using it as your main machine (or a lot). Depends on how much you want to spend, though.

      Yes it probably does because it is very cheap but I read that HP completely messed up the kick stand and keyboard on this i5 version compared to the original Snapdragon version.

      I was really excited when I first saw the deal but and saw great reviews of the Snapdragon version but after more research I decided not to go there.

  • FasterLad on 04/01/2020 - 20:14

    Can other OZB-ers convince me whether I should get this or the E495 next time TA gets another code/deal @ $711?

    In terms of tech specs , looks the same bar the chipsets, but does anyone know which chipset is better?

    The E495 has the things I prefer; matte screen, bigger battery and the Lenovo keyboard.

    Overall, just want something that'll boot quick and not stutter when there are various different programs (Adobe etc.) and large Excel workbooks open simultaneously.

    • MuddyClear on 04/01/2020 - 21:00
      +2

      Lenovo E495 has the following cons:
      - big bottom bezel
      - average battery life
      - bad wifi unless you're very close to modem/router.
      - Ctrl & Fn keys swapped around - not ideal for gaming/typing.

    • pepto on 05/01/2020 - 08:37
      +3

      I think the biggest difference is that even though this HP is priced at the level of a budget laptop it made of metal, is reasonably slim and sleek and other than the screen looks like a premium product. I have the HP Elitebook 1030 3G for work and while it is a tiny bit smaller it does look quite similar but costs nearly 4 times as much.

      The Lenovo looks just like a basic plastic office laptop and is bigger and heavier. Nothing wrong with that at this price level but the HP looks a lot better.

        Cause I already bought the laptop for $695 with the cash rewards cashback and promo code but was thinking of canceling my order to save the $70. I called Hp and they said that they can cancel my order but it'll can take up to 2 weeks for the money to get transferred back into my account. So if this deal lasts for more than 2 weeks, then I'll cancel my order and go with this cashback.

      • river521 on 06/01/2020 - 12:18

        Not sure but it looks like you are responsible for the postage back. Could always refuse delivery.

        To return a product, please call HP on 13 23 47 for assistance. To help us deal with your request as quickly as possible, please have your original order number ready.
