Quote from: GeorgeS on August 30, 2024, 22:49:29IMHO: in 2024 anything OVER $650USD that is NOT a handheld ought to have a dGPU or some rather awesome specifications (if there is no dGPU).

So a low grade 1080P 14" display coupled with AMD APU and 'middling' but decent/workable specifications.

These ought to be flying off the shelves at this price point.

Normally, I'd agree, but at least some of the slightly higher price on these would come from the 2-in-1 form factor and touch and pen compatibility. If it weren't for those caveats, I'd completely agree.

Both the Ryzen 7 8840HS- and Ryzen 5 8640HS-powered HP Envy 14 2-in-1 convertible laptops have been steeply discounted at Best Buy, with the former now coming in at a whopping $599.99. For that price, you get 16 GB of DDR5-6400 RAM, up to a 1 TB NVMe SSD, and identical or better performance than something like an Asus ROG Ally, with added pen input benefits, to boot.
