Looks good on paper, wish it was 14" tho. Upvoted
Finally a premium Ryzen 4000 Laptop with good quality display, solid build quality, good amount of Ram and storage and portable. 72% NTSC roughly translated to 99% sRGB which was something missing in Ryzen 4000 series Laptops (Apart from Slim 7 but only available with 8GB Ram).

This is actually, likely, the *BEST* priced, productivity ultra-portable (non-gaming) notebook for Zen mobile at this moment. Also, check if your company has any discounts. I can get it for 950$ pretax with my corp discount (not much, but something). I might pull the trigger on this as it meets all the min criteria for an ultra-portable. Hmmm.
Pros:
Zen 4700u
16 GB RAM
512 GB PCIe SSD
Intel AX Wifi6 card
Win10 Pro x64
300 nit IPS touch-panel with avg 72% NTSC / 99% SRGB coverage (Better than anything currently out for Zen 4000 mobile short of Asus Zephyrus G14 which is targeted more for gamers and 400$ more.)
Cons:
Soldered RAM (RAM is NOT upgradeable on the 13" Envy, but 16 GB is plenty for this notebook)
13" screen (IMHO, 14" would be ideal for weight / screen size)

Well it's tempting actually, finally a good package. Also comes with Windows Pro which is nice. 13.3" is too small for me.
have a 13.5" SB2, and while the display is fantastic, scaling still sucks. FHD is ideal for this screen size. I'd even argue its perfectly fine with 15" as well. Good luck trying to read anything with ZERO scaling @ 4k at this screen size. I know I cannot on my 13.5" SB2.

72% NTSC coverage, not SRGB. 72% NTSC roughly converts to 99% sRGB which is pretty good.

And battery life will take a real hit with 4K display, almost 2 to 3 hours, depending what you're doing.
