good,bad, and frustrating--and the fixed
By grrlgeek
On November 15, 2012, I wrote this review: Hadthe beastfor 24hours now and used it about 12 of them. LOVEall thevisualreal estateof the 17.3inch display. Stilltrying to wrapmy mind aroundWindows 8.The keyboard is makingme crazy. The touch isso uneven.Size is great, almost asbig asmany desktop keyboards. But the keys all seem torequire different pressure. I am leaving all the spacebarerrors in place so you can see howthat just isn'tresponding totouch in anypredicatble manner (I am fixingmissingorduplicatelettersforreadability,butbeieveme,itcangetstrange).The tinyup anddown arrowsin the directional array areabitannoying, asismoving tothe up/downon the numerickeypad. Numericisanice feature to have.
The speed is impressive, bootsvery quickly, goesfrom fullshutdown to ready in about 20 seconds. Movesamong appsblazingly fast,no lagtimeasit repaintsthe screen,exits and shuts downwithease. Set upfor anewmachine was easy withthe offer of standard orcustom. There arequite afewset up chpoice available in Custom, which I liked.

Thescreen is allI'dhoped.The speed is all I'dhoped. Thekeyboard,forall itis extremelyattractive, just seemsbroken fortyping.
Added November 28: After working with HP Tech support, which was very polite and useful and agreed I had a hardware problem, I then went to Amazon customer support, which arranged for me to get a new, replacement laptop, and ship the defective one back no cost to me. The new one arrived and--after Thanksgiving holiday--I had time to explore the Envy.
The same delights: speed, graphics, big display, fast boot and shut down, fast change between apps, were all there. The keyboard works well, and I notice, the mouse buttons are easy too. After a day or so of typing, I am as fast as ever I was on my other keyboards. In fact, the keyboard has a nice feel: a gentle travel, responsive, nice space between keys to lessen the dread two letters/one touch problem. The ports are good, the SD up front is good design.
I'm upping from the original three stars to five. It is a handsome, quick, useful, easy to use, much more than adequate to my current needs. I don't regret the earlier review, HP's quality control should have caught that. I'm very glad I bought from Amazon. Their excellent customer service made the small increase ($6)over the lowest online price well worth it.

Great Computer for a great price
By IS Smith
I bought this computer to replace my old HP Pavilion dv7, works well, looks great, sound is bomb and it is a whole lot faster than my old computer. Only issue I have is that the LED light on the side that is on when you plug the power in, is waaaay too bright. So if you have this in the same room while you are sleeping plugged in it can be a problem though I just unplug when I sleep.

By jasper
I replaced my dell inspiron with this laptop, and I was quite impressed when I first layed my hands upon the envy dv7.
EXTERIOR DESIGN:
It has a very solid chrome-like feel. It isn't made of plastic except for the outer edges of the screen (which most laptops these days are trending to have), but the rest is very sturdy. It has an LED-lit HP logo, and also a light if you plug in your computer through the ethernet via the ethernet cable. A small warning would be that the light is particularly bright, but that does not bother me one bit when I go to bed, as it is all personal preference. Another smaller LED light is next to the charger port, but compared to the other lights, this one is barely noticeable.
The Keyboard is very sleek, living up to my expectations. The keys are able to be lit-up with a bright white LED, which can be turned on/off at any time of preference. Overall, the keyboard is nicely done and comfortable to use by HP, as all other Envy models. Same goes for the mousepad.
PERFORMANCE:
I was impressed in that they lived up to their spec's expectations. It boots up very quickly from a hard shutdown to a working desktop in around 20-30 seconds. With 8 gb ram, multitasking is strongly encouraged, with a 2.5 gHz clockspeed processor. However I must note that this is note a gaming laptop. Intel HD graphics 4000 is at the very low end of the graphics card department, but that does not drag down my experience with this laptop. Intel is still known for delivering crisp and simple graphics, though it isn't made for anything too graphic intensive. Another thing to note is that for some odd reason, all of my youtube videos seemed to stream inexplicably slowly. I upgraded to the latest version of adobe flash, but I would have to wait to stream anything that is 360+, forcing me to watch videos at 240p. Despite this huge letdown, overall the general performance was generally good.
The camera was flat-out average, with the mio. Nothing was too impressive here, it was all standard.
The sound was impressively loud. I would always be shocked of the capabilities of noise being produced by the Envy dv7, though I wish the subwoofer can do more of the base work. The sound quality was kind of a let-down. I could feel the base change as I toggle it through the Beats program, however the change is not very noticeable. This is not a problem for me though, because I usually only use my laptops at home, with built-in conveniences such as another external 3-inch creative sub woofer with surrounding speakers.
OVERALL:
Pros:
-Fast in general for basic use
-Great specs for price
-Great sturdy build
-Loud built-in speakers
-Great layout with lit-up keyboard and comfortable mouse pad
-17.3 inches delivers crisp experience
Cons:
-Not made for anything graphic intensive like games
-Youtube streams very slowly (may be just me)
-Camera and mic are average
-Speaker quality didn't live up to the hype it has received
I am not saying anything about windows 8 because I feel like it should not affect a PC/laptop's rating in general. I feel like if you want to review 2 stars on a laptop just because you strongly dislike windows 8, you should review windows 8 directly somewhere else.
OVERALL= 4/5
