Very good deal as Alder lake laptops have just come into the market. i am sure we will get this under $600 by the time Raptor Lake laptops hit the market.

Don't have any Envy models- have another HP that looks similar for the key colors. But backlighting is useless on a silver keyboard with white light backlight. It just makes things worse and I turn it off mostly. Whoever designed it (and continuing to do so) is a maniac.

Avoid this keyboard at all costs. It will be very hard to see the keys.

It's unfortunate.

I learned my lesson the hard way and had to sell a laptop on ebay.

shouldn't be too big of an issue, as most people have the keys memorized

Notebookcheck.net reviews

Sl4 ryzen 15" 8-core 1400 cpu~ rating
11th gen Intel 800~
12th gen Intel 1400~ (non H version ie. This laptop sale)
12th gen Intel 2800+ (H version, typically gaming notebooks).

Since Intel Alder matches the Rzyen in cpu performance, might be a toss up unless you want Thunderbolt ports (only possible with Intel CPU, you can attach a https://egpu.io external gpu like a nvidia 3090 and game away) or Intel Quicksync (accelerated video encoding that's super fast. Https://handbrake.fr Adobe premiere even windows Video editor make use of it.).

Me? No question - Asus > Surface
