HP Envy Move

The Envy Move doesn't need the most cutting-edge components to achieve its goal, and that much was proven during my testing. It never advertises itself as a dedicated gaming machine, but you can play on the cloud. Similarly, it doesn't pretend to be a creator-focused machine, but it's ideal for kids to fingerpaint doodles on the touchscreen and type up their homework. It knows exactly what it is and triumphs with a 4.5-hour battery that opens up a world of possibilities that a shared laptop can't compete with. I only crave an official screen protector for safe storage.

HP's Envy Move resurrects the portable all-in-one desktop with a cute design, a carrying handle, a first-class screen and webcam, and a few hours of battery power.
