The best under-$2,000 entertainment desktop replacement to date, the Envy 17 comes packed with extras that should drive the price up-but somehow don't. Its performance and portability were also big surprises.
Pros:
  • Startling performance for the price
  • Full-HD resolution
  • Enormous touch pad
  • Above-average audio
  • Gorgeous LCD
  • Slot-loading Blu-ray drive
Cons:
  • Brief battery life
  • Finicky multifinger input on touch pad

The Envy 17 is the biggest and most powerful model in HP's top-end line of laptops, which are known for their sex appeal and solid build quality. The Envy 17's 11x16.5x1.5-inch chassis is constructed of magnesium alloy with an aluminum wrapping that's decoratively etched on the lid and palm rest.
Pros:
  • Handsome and well-built
  • good performance/portability ratio
  • Eyefinity
Cons:
  • Somewhat limited for games
  • weak battery life
  • gets hot under graphics load

The HP 17 1190 is worth its weight in gold.

I needed a laptop was powerful, stable and had a good screen; the HP 17-1190 delivers on all these things. The Good -- - Incredibly powerful, having Photoshop, Google Chrome, Itunes and Skype open at the same time makes no dent in the performance. - The quality of the screen and graphics is superb.

Our first glimpse of a fourth-generation Intel Core i7-equipped notebook comes in the form of HP's very large Envy 17. It's designed to be a stay-at-home computer, and it's powerful enough to replace a desktop for most tasks.
Pros:
  • Fast CPU
  • Lots of RAM
  • Plenty of internal storage
Cons:
  • Bouncy keyboard
  • Only single-band Wi-Fi
  • No touchscreen
