The Envy x360 13 which TechSpot got in for review costs a mere $700 and comes with a Ryzen 5 2500U, 8GB of RAM and 256GB with a 13.3" 1080p IPS touchscreen as well as a pen which is compatible with Windows 10 input and offers 1024 levels of pressure. For the creative types a higher end pen can be purchased with significantly more sensitivity. The body is all metal, with 15mm bezels and a 360 degree hinge for use as a tablet. Check out how it performs in their full review.
"Today we're finally looking at another Ryzen Mobile laptop, the second ever system we've had proper hands on time with. Despite a few difficulties finding these systems on the market, HP has pulled through with their brand new Envy x360 13-inch, and this – spoiler alert – is a fantastic system."

I’m looking for an HP Probook
I’m looking for an HP Probook replacment that comes with a Ryzen H(High Performance) 35 Watt APU part. So maybe it will be a while longer for the H series Ryzen/Raven Ridge variants to arrive with the Pro Branding from AMD.
There were, at the time, a lot of HP Probooks that came with quad core Ivy Bridge i7s mobile variants that had TDPs of 35 watts. AFAIK the regular Raven Ridge H series is not yet on the market but H series is supposed to be ready soon. I like the Raven Ridge/Ryzen Pro variants because they get longer support and warranty periods.
HP just take that old ProBook 4540s design and put an AMD MB/APU(H series) Pro variant inside at 35 watts with the option for a discrete mobile GPU.
Come to think of it, does AMD even plan to create a Vega graphics based Discrete Mobile GPU at some point in time or will they just wait for Navi.
