HP Envy 17 Review
. HP highlights that the HP Envy 17 features DDR5 VRAM plus Intel Core i5 or Core i7 CPUs, all housed in a stunning, laser-etched aluminum body. And this is our only consumer laptop that supports up to three external displays.

The Envy 17-3000 is a well thought out and designed laptop and credit goes to the engineers and designers at HP. It's a lucky thing HP didn't dump their PC business as they do a good job of being very competitive on features, design and price on the premium end. For those that don't want the Mac
Pros:
- Pleasing design
- Well built with durable all metal case and chassis
- Best audio we've ever seen from a laptop
- Nice bright and vibrant screen
- Excellent performance with Intel Core i7 and AMD 7690M graphics
Cons:
- Touchpad could be improved

- Top of the lid shows fingerprints easily
- RAID setup not supported
- despite dual hard drives

HP Envy 17: defying the skeptics
When it comes to reviewing laptops I prefer to stay away because they're basically all the same, with a few exceptions. So when it came time to replace my ageing Acer Aspire with Core i5, I had a long hard look at the options.

To borrow (approximately) the words from an Amazon USA user: "HP seems to follow the industrial trend that makes benefit out of perishable items whose limited life forces you to buy a newer one in a short time".
Pros:
- Most everything
Cons:
- Reheating issues

No touching! We go hands-off with the HP Envy 17…
It's been less than a decade since consumers started getting used to interacting with their computers and mobile devices with touch, yet now physical contact seems so old-fashioned. Now it's all about touchless control and the ability to navigate your laptop with just your eyes or your hands.
Pros:
- Sensor fully integrated into laptop
- Can turn sensor on and off
Cons:
- Awkward placement for left-handed users

A powerful desktop replacement that costs less than most ultrabooks
If there's one thing you need to understand about laptops, it's this: Portability will cost you. Want proof? Look no further than the HP Envy TouchSmart 17 (MSRP $999.99), a fully-loaded desktop replacement that costs less than an entry level MacBook Air .
