I am considering buying a custom HP Envy x360 15t (for about $1400) with these specs:

-Intel® Core™ i7 8565U (1.8 GHz, up to 4.6 GHz, 8 MB cache, 4 cores)

-NVIDIA® GeForce® MX250 (4 GB GDDR5)

-16 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM (2x8GB)

-15.6" FHD IPS micro-edge WLED-backlit multitouch-enabled edge-to-edge glass (1920 x 1080)(TS)

-1 TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD

-Intel® 802.11b/g/n/ac (2x2) Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 5 Combo(MU-MIMO supported)

-Bang & Olufsen, dual speakers, HP Audio Boost

-1 headphone/microphone combo; 1 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (HP Sleep and Charge); 1 USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 1 (Data Transfer Only); 1 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A (Data Transfer Only)

-65 W AC power adapter

For this price, am I getting a good deal? (I really like the laptop's style.)

Also, would this be suitable for video editing and possibly light gaming?

 

I have literally no experience with laptops like that (my current one is a Dell Latitude D610).

I have the same gpu and cpu it is very fast for an ultrabook

 Or really?

 

Sure there are some pain points like the trackpad size, chinbar/speakergrill, and dual-core CPU, but it's overall a really great 2-in-1 design and IMO would be perfect for lawyers, politicians, business executives who could use the extra air of importance in meetings or traveling on the go. Plus those kinds of people probably have decked-out PCs in their offices and homes as well.

I take offence to your comment, i have a HP Pavilion with nice specs yes there is a little flex on the keyboard but I am very happy with my choice. It has I7 8565u and MX250 4gb
