Our Verdict

HP ENVY x360 13 (2020)

HP Pavilion x360 11 (2021)

The HP Pavilion x360 11 (2021) and the HP ENVY x360 13 (2020) are both 2-in-1 convertible Windows laptops. However, the Pavilion x360 is a budget model that can only handle simple tasks like web browsing and video playback, while the ENVY x360 is a more premium model with a CPU that can handle much heavier workloads. The ENVY x360 has a sharper and brighter display, a better keyboard and touchpad, and a wider selection of ports. It also has longer battery life and a fingerprint sensor.
