On the other hand, the HP Envy 13 has some features you won’t find with the M1 MacBook Air, including additional display options such as a touch screen and a 4K display. While HP’s use of Intel Core processors in the Envy 13 provides strong performance, Apple’s new M1 processor does offer a speed advantage for the latest MacBook Air-both for CPU and GPU/graphics performance. But there are also some big differences between the M1 MacBook Air and the Envy 13. Both laptops offer speedy performance, vivid display quality, long battery life and an overall eye-pleasing design.
When it comes to finding a laptop that offers top specs for a relatively affordable price, two come immediately to mind: Apple’s new MacBook Air with the M1 chip and HP’s latest Envy 13.
