Gorgeous, some issues, but I am more than happy, By Bookworm "bookworm" (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HP ENVY 15-3040NR 15.6 Inch Laptop (Black/Silver) (Personal Computers)
I bought this from Amazon but I ordered it through my wife's account (she has a prime student) and that's why Amazon is not showing as verified purchase. This laptop is gorgeous, very much a clone of a Macbook pro. I use a Early 2010 Macbook pro 17" for my work, and I can assure you it excels my Macbook pro in the following functional aspects:1. It has a full keyboard. The Macbook's so called "Full" keyboard is really not that full. Macbook misses all the home, end, page up and page down button. And trust me, even after two years of regular usage, I find it irritating. True, you can use Command + Up/Down etc. combination. But it's really a productivity issue. 2. The Envy's 4 speakers and the woofer combination is really awesome. In fact, this is the first laptop that I saw that outperforms my 17" Macbook pro speaker (both sound quality and volume). Previously I compared Asus N53, hp DV5, Lenovo (forgot the model number) and hp DV6 and all of them had much inferior... Read more

Can't get over 2 serious problems, even after trying so hard to love the laptop. (UPDATED: 1 problem),
This review is from: HP ENVY 15-3040NR 15.6 Inch Laptop (Black/Silver) (Personal Computers)
I really wanted to like this laptop, because on paper, there are very very few (if any) laptops that offer a similar package at this price point (up to 30% off MSRP after various HP coupons on the web for i7-2620qm, powerful graphics via 7690m, but most of all, 1080p IPS display). However, after 2 months of patience, I can no longer ignore the glaring issues HP has chosen to overlook. First, there have been numerous reports first appearing in forums about users' complaints about the Envy 15 1080p's inability to produce red colors. Since the initial reports in January, numerous tech blogs like the Verge, notebookcheck, and Engadget (among others) have confirmed this issue. While I had tried to overlook the issue myself, the non-reds eventually became far too big of a distraction, especially considering that this was a $150.00 upgrade option. If HP charged $250.00 for a screen upgrade that had a decent color gamut (come on! I'm not asking for Dreamcolor quality or even 95% Adobe...

It's a Cool laptop and all but..., By

Spec wise and all. This laptop is pretty good.- The display is very crisp and clear. - It's fast. - It has a sleek design. - Cool button for changing volume. - Back lit keyboard. - Switchable graphics can save power. - HD - Beats Audio provides great sound through the speakers. That being said, there are some issues I have with this laptop. - First, as I type this right now, it seems I have to hit my space bar key pretty hard when I use my right thumb since it seems to not respond when I hit it from the right side. - The red is not so red. I don't really care much about it, but it's an issue some of you might not really enjoy. - Switchable graphics not so switchable. Sometimes, it doesn't switch GPUs, but it's not that big a deal since you can simply, no, I advise you to change it to manual switching on the BIOS if you chose to get this laptop, so you can switch the GPUs yourself. - As I feel through the edges of...
