The new 2020 HP ENVY 13 and ENVY 15 laptops are each designed for a different purpose, but with a single mission – to help you bring your ideas to life no matter where you are.

Find out how the 2020 HP ENVY 13 and HP ENVY 15 laptops differ, and which is the best option for you!

 

HP ENVY 13 (2020) Laptop

Powerful and yet light and compact, the new HP ENVY 13 laptop is designed for creators on-the-go. Its long-lasting battery ensures you can work for a full day and then some, without worrying about running out of power.

And should you be on-the-road longer than expected, the HP Fast Charge feature lets you recharge 50% of its battery in just 30 minutes, so you can get right back to creating your content, after a short break!

Being light and compact, the new ENVY 13 is great for creators who need the flexibility to work wherever they are. But it does not compromise quality for mobility.

Despite weighing just 1.3 kg, the HP ENVY 13 provides the performance you need for designing and editing work, with its NVIDIA GeForce MX350 graphics and 10th Gen Intel Core processor.

When your workspace can be anywhere from your home to a busy café or a shooting location, security and privacy becomes a real concern. Thankfully, the new ENVY 13 comes with built-in security features like a physical camera shutter, and a microphone mute button, as well as a fingerprint reader.

When out and about, you can enjoy accurate, cinematic audio thanks to its dual speakers with HP Audio Boost, that have been custom-tuned by Bang & Olufsen.

On top of all that, the new ENVY 13 comes pre-installed with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 worth RM529 for FREE, you can get straight to creating on your new laptop.

It can be equipped with the latest 10th Generation Intel Core processors and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, and up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory.

To ensure the best possible performance while designing and editing high-resolution videos, or during strenuous gaming sessions, its CPU and GPU are kept cool by HP’s custom vapour chamber cooling, with dual 12V high-performance fans and an IR thermal sensor.

They all work together to keep the CPU and GPU cool, delivering 33% more processing power during intense workloads.

Its 15.6-inch touch display also offers a better experience while working on your creative project, with greater colour accuracy thanks to its Full High Definition micro-edge display with WLED backlight, IPS technology, 100% sRGB, and anti-glare coating.

Your creative journey is also enhanced by its two built-in speakers, which are not only custom-tuned by Bang & Olufsen, but also feature HP Audio Boost for a cinematic experience.

To keep your creations under wraps until you are ready to share it with the world, the new HP ENVY 15 comes with built-in security features, such as a fingerprint reader, physical camera shutter, and a dedicated microphone mute button, which are all easily accessible from the keyboard.

Just like the smaller ENVY 13, the new ENVY 15 comes pre-installed with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 worth RM529 for FREE, as well as 2 years of Accidental Damage Protection coverage!

Level51 Terra 15 | Terra 15 Lite Gaming Laptops Revealed!

Leave a reply

Level51 just announced three new gaming laptops – the Terra 15 (RTX 2060), the Terra 15 (RTX 2070) and the Terra 15 Lite. Here is our primer on these three gaming laptops from Level51!

 

Level51 Terra 15 | Terra 15 Lite Gaming Laptops

These 15.6-inch ultra-portable gaming laptops pair a 9th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA graphics options with a high refresh rate display.

144 Hz Display

All three models come with a 15.6-inch IPS display, with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It supports a high refresh rate of 144 Hz, with a 100% sRGB colour gamut.

Their website did not mention G-SYNC support, but we reckon their displays should support NVIDIA G-SYNC.

Intel + NVIDIA

All three models are powered by the Intel Core i7-9750H 6-core processor, paired with three NVIDIA graphics options :

Note that these are all high-performance parts, not the lower-powered Max-Q variants.

Cooling Performance

To keep those high-performance components cool while you game, these gaming laptops feature four heat pipes and two high-speed fans, with four exhaust outlets.

Premium Chassis

All three gaming laptops feature an aluminium chassis with orange accents, and they are surprisingly light – just 1.97 kg for the RTX 2060 and GTX 1660 Ti variant, and 2.1 kg for the RTX 2070 model.

They are also pretty thin – the RTX 2060 and GTX 1660 Ti models are just 21.4 mm thick, while the RTX 2070 model is slightly thicker at 24.4 mm.

NVIDIA TU116

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti uses a brand new TU116 GPU that is built using the latest NVIDIA Turing microarchitecture.

However, it lacks the Tensor and RT cores that GeForce RTX graphics cards have. This is the reason why NVIDIA pegs It as a GTX, and not RTX.

The NVIDIA TU116 GPU is not a cut-down version of the TU106, but a completely new design with the Tensor cores and RT cores removed. It retains the other advantages of the Turing architecture – Concurrent Floating Point + Integer Operations, a Unified Cache Architecture and Adaptive Shading.

The TU116 basically bridges the old Pascal-based GeForce GTX graphics cards and the new Turing-based GeForce RTX graphics cards. Even though it lacks RT and Tensor cores, its Turing shaders gives it a big performance advantage.

 

GDDR6 Memory

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti comes with 6 GB of the GDDR6 memory. Coupled with its 192-bit memory interface, it is able to deliver a peak memory bandwidth of 288.1 GB/s. This is 50% more than the memory bandwidth of the GeForce GTX 1060.

 

Power Usage

The NVIDIA TU116 has 6.6 billion transistors – 50% more than the GP106 GPU used in the GeForce GTX 1060. But thanks to its smaller 12 nm FinFet process technology, NVIDIA is able to keep its thermal output and power consumption low.

Like the GeForce GTX 1060, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has a 120 watt TDP, and requires one 8-pin PCIe power connector.

 

Concurrent Floating Point + Integer Operations

This is an important Turing shader technology, because games are increasingly mixing floating point operations with integer instructions. Take, for example, Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

For every 100 instructions, there are on average 62 floating point and 32 integer instructions. In earlier NVIDIA GPU architectures, the floating point datapath would idle while integer instructions are running.

[adrotate group=”1″]

The NVIDIA TU116 features a second, parallel integer execution unit. This allows it to execute integer instructions in parallel with floating point calculations. With an ideal 50-50 mix, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has more than twice the processing power of the GeForce GTX 1060

Of course, in real life, the actual performance boost is lower. According to NVIDIA, this feature alone gives the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti a 50% performance advantage over the GeForce GTX 1060.

Unified Cache Architecture

The NVIDIA TU116 also features a unified architecture for shared memory, L1 and texture caching. This allows the L1 cache to dynamically adjust its size for optimal performance.

Its L1 cache can grow as large as 64 KB in size, with 32 KB per SM shared memory allocation. Or it can shrink to 32 KB, which would allow 64 KB for shared memory.

In addition, combining the L1 data cache with shared memory cache reduces latency, and increases throughput. In fact, NVIDIA claims its hit throughout is quadrupled compared to Pascal.

NVIDIA showcased Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which they claimed received a 40% performance boost due to the Turing unified cache architecture.

 

Adaptive Shading

The Turing architecture introduced a new shading technology called Variable Rate Shading (VRS)., with two key algorithms – Content Adaptive Sharing and Motion Adaptive Shading.

Irrespective of the algorithm used, the TU116 can adjust the shading rate for different regions of a scene, or even for specific objects. This reduces areas that need to be rendered in full detail, boosting performance.

Motion Adaptive Shading is used to adjust the shading rate based on the amount of motion present in a particular region. In a racing game, the player’s car would be rendered in full detail, while the road, lane markings and street signs could be rendered in lower detail with fewer samples. Since they’re moving rapidly – the human eye won’t perceive a slight reduction in pixel quality.

[adrotate group=”1″]

Content Adaptive Shading adjusts the shading rate according to spatial and temporal colour coherence across frames. In cases where color or spatial changes are minimal from frame to frame (for example, the sky in a scene, or a wall), the shading rate can be lowered in successive frames to improve performance without any noticeable reduction in image quality.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus was the first game to feature Turing’s Adaptive Shading technology. The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti receive a 50% boost in performance over the GeForce GTX 1060 when Adaptive Shading was enabled.
