HP Envy 15 with QuadCore

[beginner99]

Hi all,

anyone has experience with this laptop? HP Envy 15-1100 Specs:


Intel® Core™ i7 Prozessor i7-720QM
8 GB DDR3 (4 x 2048 MB)
(4 gb would be enough but HP in my country offers 0 config options, just couple of alternative configs).

250 GB SATA 5400 U/min + 160 GB SSD (Intel)

ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5830
15.6 1920 x 1080 BrightView (too bad, US-Store offers matte option not available here)

Reviews aren't very favorable. (too hot, loud,...)

Could get it for around 2100 $
(Cheaper than the i5 variant with 4 gb and matte configured in US-Store)

battery life doesn't matter that much. Need to carry it to my course where you have to option to plug it in. So even just 1 hrs with the small battery is fine.

I like the general idea of the envys. External optical drive is nice imho. hardly ever need one anyway. Powerful yet light.

? mean it's not cheap but anythign remotely comparable is worse and mor expensive.

According to notebookreview.com the i7 processors run really hot in the envy. If you want something cooler you may want to get the i5 cpus.

Here's the thread of envy owners:

You may also want to wait for a $450+ off coupon/deal the last one expired less than 48 hours ago where the envy 15's could be had for under 1k (before taxes).

Yeah I knew if that deal but I do not live in US and hence can't buy there.
i5 option not available here. maybe later hopefully.
