Had this little powerhouse of a laptop for a few months now and it’s an impressive for the size and weight. Hasn’t missed a beat Positives: Fantastic battery life Very lightweight and portable Lovely display that is bright even outside in sun Finger print reader is not a gimmick, it’s quick and so convenient Touch screen is responsive though these are lost on me as it becomes a finger print magnet. Negatives While the screen is lovely the build in privacy filter even when off does mean you need to view the screen head in to get the best picture. It comes with a proprietary power adapter cable rather than a usb-c charger For such a high spec laptop & price 16gb memory these days is very low, especially considering these modern units can’t be upgraded later. You’re stuck with the memory it came with so always go for maximum. Minimum for this price range should be 32gb or the option to upgrade later. HP build quality is exceptional on this little unit, first time owning a HP and the unit feels premium quality. Routine day to day tasks web browsing and email it’s silent and even using more power hungry apps such as photoshop or Lightroom the fans do kick in. Also 16GB does get used very quickly with these power hungry apps but just takes a few minutes longer to process. I Particularly like the attention to detail where the exhaust for the fans is blown over the monitor so you don’t cook your legs or arms. All in all I recommend this laptop, with a small footnote to say think carefully about the memory as if I’d have realised I would have gone for one that had 32/64gb or user replaceable.

I purchased the i7 with 16 GB of RAM. I have access to a few top end laptops and this is quicker than the pro laptop I use for work. It is blisteringly quick and extremely well-made, on a par with a MacBook Pro. It is completely silent to use and the battery lasts almost all day, with a really crisp screen. There is only one small criticism I can make. As an earlier reviewer mentioned, in certain light conditions the fact that the keyboard is the same colour as the chassis, can make the keys difficult to see. If you want a really nice laptop, but don’t fancy an Apple product and would prefer a PC, try this one.

Worst laptop ever Today did not even allow me to sign in, for 2h did not want to run ate all. Sometimes a simple Word seems to be too much effort for this laptop, some other days an Excel gets it to freeze for hours, today i was not allowed to even start doing anything. Getting connected to Internet seems to be an impossible thing for this laptop, dont even get me started with more complicated softwares, matlab is uselees on this laptop, python is impossible to run, i cannot run any of my codes here, dont even think about getting cool graphs... this laptop will collapse! such a waste of everything, time, money, energy... pure frustration every single day If i could, this would be a 0 star (the lowest allowed is 1 start, this is much less than that) Dont waste your money, get something else I regret getting this useless laptop, dont make my same mistake

I loved this laptop which has served ne well - until suddenly.. There was a crunch and a crack when I tried to open it and the base of the laptop moved out of alignment. I was unable to pop it back, or insert the charging cable. On taking it to a repair shop, I was told that the gold bits had also come away and as the monitor is integrated, it would be too costly and tricky to warrant repairing. It turns out the hinges were wasted and weak as made out of plastic. It's a shame as the laptop was perfect for my needs.

The HP-Envy has evolved over multiple variants (of which I have owned 3) in the last few years. This laptop is a solid, high performance machine that gets the job done. It doesn't have lots of superfluous extras or add ons. It just does an excellent job as a machine you can use all day. It's performance over a range of graphic or arithmetical tasks is excellent and it has a good battery life.

My old Laptop was on its last legs, as i had bought it Apx 10 years ago. I had been looking for a new machine within my budget. I liked HP products. Took the opportunity to buy This wonderful ! little Laptop.

A very powerful laptop, I got a mouse and I found that good but the touch screen and tracking pad do a good job too.

I was very disappointed. It looks nice and has a great screen, but otherwise it doesn't measure up. Despite endless adjustments to the settings and following all the advice I could get, the touchpad remains seriously inaccurate, requiring multiple clicks to highlight or paste text for example. I gather this isn't a manufacturing fault but a software issue endemic to these machines. It's frustrating using it for lengthy text and as for programs like Photoshop or Premiere Pro, I need an external mouse. The rubber strip on the back began to peel off about a month after I got it. I've never had a laptop that developed problems so soon. Unimpressed.
