I found a coupon for the Envy 17, and after looking at the specs (CPU, GPU, etc) and build quality (screen, audio, build) I decided to buy one. Now I'm having a bit of buyer's anxiety.

So I got the following:
i7-3610QM (quad core, 2.3GHz base, Ivy Bridge)
Radeon 7850m
6GB RAM (2 dimms, 1600MHz)
750 GB Hybrid hard drive (sounds like Seagate Momentus XT)

for $1092



Think it's a good deal?

It's a decent value. If it works for you as advertised, and you're happy, smile and move on. It would make more sense to ask the question before ordering. Thanks for helping the economy. :)

Very solid specs for the price. I assume this is a PC to be your primary machine?

Yup, looks solid. What is the screen resolution? The HD is upgradable to SSD, the ram is upgradeable. Looks very flexible.
