[@JB33Intensly]

This is how to do an informational video on KZbin when it comes to computer specs,... or anything. Well done. Thanks!

[@Eternal2007]

Jared Boisen Thanks for the compliment Jared. :)

[@thepuff791]

I actually watch your video on my hp envy m7 and I will say, I have truly enjoyed this laptop. I have ran numerous games that have really pushed this laptop too its limits but still holds out.

[@Eternal2007]

Caleb Brown Awesome, I'm glad you're enjoying your new laptop. :)

[@sbatncpl]

Young man you are absolutely SUPERB in regard to the description of this laptop. You didn't drag, say "ummmmm..." and you didn't waste my time and I sincerely thank you for that! Well Done!!!

[@Eternal2007]

sbatncpl Thanks for the feedback and compliment. :)

[@jumptwofall]

Thanks for these videos. I just bought the newer version of this laptop and you helped me greatly in making my decision. :)

[@Eternal2007]

***** You're welcome, thanks for watching. Stay tuned for my full review on the new HP ENVY M7. It's coming soon. Thanks again for the support. :)

[@paulg444]

This guy gives the most complete review.

[@PublicWifi]

Great review. I didn't expect you to take it apart. Most people don't. Very helpful. I bought this laptop today @ $950.Best Buy seems to be selling mostly (U) / lower voltage CPU based laptops. My 3rd gen i7 was around $650. Very similar performance. Considering the upgrades involved (17" touchscreen, fingerprint scanner, backlit keyboard, etc...) I'm happy. I'll more then likely throw in an SSD.

[@Eternal2007]

Thank you. Let me know the performance gain from the SSD.

[@jolawil]

Thanks for the review. After 8 years with my Toshiba Satellite, it is time to upgrade. I just purchased this laptop today at Best Buy.

[@Eternal2007]

jolawil You're welcome, how do you like this laptop so far?

[@jolawil]

I am sending this reply to you from the new HP ENVY. I love it, but I can already see that I am going to have to get use to the new Windows 8. but It is light years ahead of the 2006 Toshiba Satellite. I will be transferring my important files later this week when I have gotten use to the Windows 8 /HP system. I cant believe how fast it moves. thru the different tasks. this is a solid machine. J

[@Eternal2007]

jolawil Awesome, I'm glad you are enjoying this laptop. Down the road I would recommend getting an SSD for better performance. How do you like the 17.3" screen?

[@jolawil]

The HD screen was a big selling point for this laptop. my old Toshiba had a 17' screen but the HD touchscreen is light years ahead.

[@AlirezaYami]

You know the best my friend! I liked the benchmarking part. No one does it in youtube :) I personally hate HP laptops because of Overheating problem. Would you please suggest a same spec laptop but something Cool? These HP ENVY heat up like crazy. Lots of people return them for this issue and that is why there are many sites selling their Refurbished lots.

[@bjreynolds3084]

nice review. the newer one you mention in notes got some negative on amazon. also the new processor is slower.

[@peacedawg865]

EXCELLENT review. I just got this at Best Buy and really appreciate your review as a way to get acquainted with this cool laptop. Thanks!!!

[@Eternal2007]

PeaceDawg Awesome, I'm glad you're enjoying your new HP laptop. :)

[@lifewater989]

Thanks for the review. My old refurb HP laptop from 2008 just died on me today so I ordered one of these for refurbed for $639 shipped. Hopefully it lasts as long as the old one.

[@riskmanifest]

Hey I just ordered my refurb laptop myself today. After a few months of use, how are you liking your laptop? Just want to know if you've experienced any trouble with it.. I hear the touchpad goes bad or something like that. Have you experienced any trouble at all? Appreciate your answer.. Thanks

[@lifewater989]

No problems. It's ran great, very fast too after I put an SSD in it. Gorgeous display.

[@riskmanifest]

Great! I appreciate your response! I'm less worried about mine now. One last thing, I'm knew to all this, can you recommend an SSD and how to find the right one I guess? Is it hard to install yourself? Thanks!

[@TCJAZZ-MUSIC]

I have one of these laptops that you reviewed and had to send it back for BIOS - SOFTWARE issues and was disappointed that the dvd doesn't play Blu-Ray's. However, it is a nice machine when it works, but I wished that I purchased Windows 7. Thanks for the post and all the very best to you. Peace - TC~

[@milanau2060]

Nice voice u got there

[@StormChaserok]

very nice review thanks...

[@Eternal2007]

+StormChaserok Thank you. :)

[@lucynielson2386]

Enjoy your video. I am no very tech savvy and I am trying to learn for an old one hehe. I do have a question about the beats audio . I tried to use my beats got as far that it said paired . But I didn’t get any sound from my beats. I tried them with my phone and worked fine. What have I forgotten or did I do something wrong? Can you please help me out with that .

[@skiz007]

Please I have a question. Is the M7-j120dx, M7-K010DX and j135cl all the same? Because am trying to get one for my online class but looks like the last model is the most expensive does that necessarily make it the best cos it comes with 32GB RAM while the first two predominantly comes with like 12GB. PLEASE I need you advice am tired on google'n reviews back n fort. Thanks.

[@toxicmyxer]

Is the m7-k111dx better than the M7-J120dx based on your description? Because I am planning on getting the m7-k111dx very soon.

[@nickjenks100]

Would you recommend this or the 15.3 HP touchscreen laptop? I was thinking about getting this one but after I saw some comments on another video people said I. Wasn't too good...

[@Phrancis5]

Can you use a digitizer pen with art programs and draw on the screen? Or is this touchscreen different from win Surface tablets? Thanks

[@user-mu9qe7to5f]

Nice review

[@Eternal2007]

jimmy Smith Thank you :)

[@gofruity]

Superb Review My Man, Next Up Intel Pentium mk7.

[@krisjohn8326]

Any random times that the mouse/touch screen quits working or does stuff it shouldn't? Got a 15" envy that has that problem. My mouse feels the same as this laptop's, so just curious. Seemed fine in the store and might trade it in for this one.

[@ivanmckinney1881]

THANX FOR THE "DEEP" INFO!!!!! I HAD A HP 17IN. 10 YEARS... AGO LOVED IT LIKE A WOMAN. BACK THEN, IT WAS PUSHING THE LIMITS, IT DIED WAY TOO SOON....GLAD TO BE BUYING THE "21 st CENTURY VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kanehi]

Nice review. The only problem I find with this laptop are the speakers, the volume is weak and tinny and even after the Beats tweaks it didn't sound good.

[@ANeonTiger]

+kanehi better than the Dell I bought off Amazon that has speakers on the fucking bottom. Thinking of returning it and getting this instead.

[@JohnOubre1]

Thank you for you review. I am in the market for a new laptop after my late 2008 MacBook Pro went down. I have heard many gripes about HP, but this seems like a really good deal. Does this have any problems with overheating or anything that you have noticed? I need it to have Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, multiple browsers and multiple browser tabs all running at the same time. I would also like to be able to stream media files to watch and listen to on the TVs on my home network, as well as play XBMC and play 1080p video on the TV it will be hooked up to. Do you think that this HP can do this? I am really about to pull the trigger on this purchase. Thank you in advance for your response and thanks again for the video.

[@bchapa777]

Hey Andrew nice video man :) but i was wondering if you were gonna make a video on the most recent model of the m7?

[@Eternal2007]

Bryan Chapa Hi Bryan, I will try to get my hands on the latest model. Stay tuned. :)

[@bchapa777]

Nice! I will and thanks for the vids man :D

[@darksonic1110]

Do you have a review on the 17t that's currently on the hp store?

[@OmarYaujar]

I want to upgrade my wacom intuos 5 and toshiba satellite to this and a wacom cintiq 13 HD i use mostly all of the adobe collection, toon boom and manga studio. Do you recomend this combo?? or getting another laptop??

[@GonzaloMassa]

Is there another version of this laptop? I've an Envy 3D 17" from two years ago and it has two videocards and blu-ray drive.

[@MichaelTaylor-su7mq]

I'm from the UK and thinking about buying this laptop. just wanted to know if its still worth it and where in the UK I could get this particular model from. Any suggestions?

[@JordanSmith-px3vj]

I'm looking for something that I can run photoshop smoothly. Something able to import, edit, and upload pictures quickly. I also want to get into building websites and graphic design too. Is this a good option? Any other suggestions?

[@daaanger000]

hey Andrew. I just bought a hp envy m7 notebook pc m7-k010dx.canyou tell me if its any good. i have no idea when it comes to computers. thanks

[@jakethomas3729]

have you reviewed the HP Envy Touch 17.3" Laptop i7 12GB 1TB Windows 8.1 (17-J140us)

[@quietlike]

does it overheat? It's the biggest complaint about the envy 17 series, have you had this experience? Is there a solution other than taking the whole thing apart and adding the paste thing? whats the difference between this model and the L8L13AV_1? I am looking at that model, direct from hp, due to upgrades. I assume the L8L... is the newest model?

[@shawnwrigleys]

Just ordered this laptop online after returnung my Dell Inspiron with an AMd 10 chip. Hope I get better performance with the i7 in the Envy.

[@Eternal2007]

Definitely, the quad Core i7-4700MQ is a beast. It's powerful and really efficient.

[@synthraofficial5366]

Beautiful Just beautiful.

[@eldude831]

I have this laptop but my go pro app lags when editing videos . I set my graphics at max performance . But was wondering if I should or even can upgrade my graphics card . Or if I should use a different video app

[@paramhans3819]

Really need help plz tell me the best for heavy gaming ,,,collage ,,,movies and is razer blade 17 is good or not for this ,,,i know its price is much high but tell me plz

[@Ivoryz00]

Thanks for the video! I've got a question. I'm looking to get a new laptop for editing video & film. I was told to look into a computer much like this that has 8G of RAM & uses the i7 core specifically. Would you recommend this laptop? The vast majority of people I've spoken with in person have mentioned getting a Mac but I'm not efficient enough with Apple products. Plus, they're pretty expensive. Thanks.

[@Eternal2007]

Yes. However, if you plan on editing video full time than I would look for a laptop with a dedicated GPU. What is your price range for a laptop?

[@Ivoryz00]

Initially, it was roughly $700-$900. Sounds like I may have to go for a higher price. It's pretty much expected at this point I would imagine.

[@noli131]

sorry, I have a question...Im studing arhictecture and I need a laptop for programs like: ArchiCad, AutoCad, Lumion.. etc with better perfomance and graphic wich one do u prefer me..?

[@peterochieng1216]

Is it a good laptop for gaming? I'v heard some.people complaining because of its touch screen

[@samuelakowuah7964]

I wanna know if it is an ideal lap for future games

[@Missing0o0]

I need this laptop in my life. 0_0 Would I be able to put a bluray drive in it, and how do I find out which parts can be upgraded/changed?

[@paramhans3819]

Plz tell me which laptop is best for collage and gaming mostly heavy games

[@reggiemiller2543]

Just bought one exactly like this one yesterday...16 GB ram...256 SSD + 1TB hard drive...for only 600$...Safe to say, I got a great deal!

[@user-qr9df1uf8e]

how is it after a month of usage?

[@reggiemiller2543]

Best laptop I have ever owned.

[@Maximus98970]

Reggie Miller can it run games like gta ? thanx

[@reggiemiller2543]

kakarwt mmc Haven't really played much games on it as that's not the reason why I purchased it...But I did try out a few simple ones, and it had no problems...Not sure how it would handle demanding games like GTA though.

[@Baobao-yv3gw]

does it make a lot of sound(maybe loud) during working? is it hot when working guys

[@Mad89Ali]

I had the same wish for the touchpad about the click feel but once you use it for a well month or less, the click becomes more felt and is easier to press.

[@goldmouth100]

SO IS THIS COMPUTER GOOD FOR UPLOADING 10-20 MINUTE VIDEOS TO KZbin EVERYDAY AND ALSO EDITING VIDEOS ??.. AND DOES IT HAVE WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER INSTALLED?? I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW EDITING AND UPLOADING COMPUTER FOR MY VIDEOS ... BECAUSE WHEN I TRY TO UPLOAD FROM MY COMPUTER IT GETS REALLY HOT AND SHUTS OFF ... ..PLEASE HELP THANKS ;-)

[@Justme-kb2dr]

Can you hit a microphone button, to type your words like you can on an iPad?

[@hahaien]

Hey, can you make a video to the samsung ative Book 8 with 15,6 zoll?

[@GamingDudeForLife]

Do you think I should buy this this month or do you know if they will come out with a better one in a few months? I've been wanting this laptop for a while now and will have enough money for it this month but I don't want to buy it and a better version comes out in like a month lol. Excellent review btw.

[@Eternal2007]

Yes, this model was just released 2 months. However, if you are want the latest model I would wait for the Intel Broadwell version coming out this Holiday season. Thank you :)

[@ratbo]

My friend got this laptop, and it didn't do as much as he hoped. If you are looking for a more gamer oriented laptop, look towards Alienware. :)

[@amatullahsmith]

Your reviews are life!! Three questions: Has anyone had a heavy gaming experience with this? Also, why does it seem that I can't find one of these new, instead of used/refurbished? Lastly, does anyone know of any other laptops in this price range (now it's $699.99 refurbished at Best Buy) that perform well in gaming?

[@Eternal2007]

Amatullah Smith Hi Amatullah, thanks for the complement. This model has been replaced by the HP ENVY M7-K111dx. I will post more info in the description. The new model features a NVIDIA 840M which would perform much better than the Intel HD 4600. If you're looking for a gaming laptop for under $700 you can check out the Lenovo Y40. Thank you. :)

[@amatullahsmith]

So will the Lenovo be able to run newer, graphics intensive games (Battlefield 3, Sims 3, Sims 4, Tomb Raid) at high, medium, or low settings?

[@amatullahsmith]

Ok last question, which of the computers on this list did you review? I'm having a really hard time telling which one: shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/y40/

[@MollyKuehl4790]

Amatullah Smith okay so check it out I was able to find pretty much the exact same thing at Costco for $999 the only different thing is it comes with a two terabyte rather than 1. I think that the company has upgraded this model and slightly change the model number because I cannot find the exact one he's reviewing anywhere either everytime I find one that's pretty much the exact same thing it always has a two terabyte rather than one.

[@amatullahsmith]

Girl, you are my freakin hero. Thanks a bunch!

[@rannz7]

I have one of these laptops and my specs are, Intel Core i7-4800MQ 2.70Ghz-3.5Ghz 8GB DDR3 Ram Intel HD 4600 Integrated Nvidia Geforce GT 740m 2GB Dedicated Windows 10 64-Bit and the rest is the same. Are you sure this model didn't have a dedicated GPU?

[@ahmadal1ef]

bro, do you know how to fix the touchscreen problem when i using windows 10. i know this laptop is a bit old now ;v

[@alolkoydesigns]

Thanks, I think you sold me.

[@MrZxnet]

Does anyone knows if this supports RAID, in the review, I see that it supports 2 harddrive, but with SSD prices so low, I would like to get 2X256GB Samsung EVO and set them up as RAID, I just want to know if any kind of RAID support is included.

[@paramhans3819]

What about heavy gaming like bf4 and watch dogs plz reply fast

[@YulianBrickPrime]

How does this laptop runs MineCraft , Euro Truck Simulator 2 (both with mods) ?? because I'm searching for a cheap laptop ($1,000 or less) mainly for gaming. If you have a better suggestion please tell me. Thank you !!! 😊

[@gerrit8098]

[@karres8123]

Im thinking about getting this labtop but i was wondering if there was any way of upgrading it to a blue ray disk drive thank you

[@Eternal2007]

No, you will have to buy an external Blu-ray drive.

[@Jmartallday94]

Is this great for gaming? ?

[@lyndonmacaraig6108]

Hi i have that laptop. And its a windows 8. Can i upgrade to 8.1?

[@frank2477]

A live and learn problem I've had with this laptop is the case and hinge near the cooling fan. the weight of the screen on the hinge wound up popping the screw out from under the pad and causing a little chunk of plastic to stop the cooling fan. Since the laptop was still under warranty, I took it to Best Buy's Geek Squad. The geeks ran a diagnostic and told me that there was no hardware issues just software issues. I'm now repairing the computer myself. also geek squad told me HP would also charge or return my laptop do to the hinge, and case separating. This laptop has been on my desk for the past 8 months with very limited movement. I would expect a stronger case for a 1000 dollar laptop.

[@leahwhite9928]

+Frank Engberg We've had the exact same problem. The hinge broke separating the casing. I think this is a defect. HP or GeekSquad should pay. What use is the coverage if they wont fix obvious manufacturing problems as well.

[@TheJokerTLD]

Is it good for gaming?

[@JessicaMars206]

How is the battery life?

[@icu3277]

Will this laptop work without its battery?

[@HomiesProductionZ]

This is on amazon for $699 (certified refurbished) is it a risk buying it?

[@Kaizokui]

what is the battery life like?

[@martin20xx]

nice review. 1 question im studying graphic design. this pc looks like its got it all and its $ 879. will this be a better choice instead of the 13 inch mac retina display $ 1300 (with 128SSD) which 1 should I get only between this 2 or any but I only want to spend around 1300 no more. thank u

[@Eternal2007]

martin20xx Hello Martin. For graphics design I would recommend this HP since it has a much bigger IPS screen with very good color accuracy. The 13" Macbook pro is too small for graphics design, If I was to get a Mac for graphics design I would get the 15" Macbook Pro. Have you seen the ASUS ROG G750JM? That model has a very good display as well with a NVIDIA 860M graphics card. Check out my full review on it. Thank you

[@martin20xx]

cool thank u so much for ur help and ill take a look at ur review like I said I need a pc for graphics desing and every tells me that mac are the best. but its WAyyy too much for a laptop (the 15')

[@Nam3l3ssOn3]

What the fcuk is glass fiber? Does it corrode, scratch, or chip easily??

[@ArkMirel]

Doesn't this laptop have any cons like any other laptop ?! You describe it as perfect for it's value and specs !

[@FayzaanAK]

Boot up in just 15 sec how??? Is it with ssd?

[@spyk124]

If you or somebody could help me that would be great. I'm looking for a laptop for college and I don't want a Mac simply because I think pcs have a cooler interface. My price range is about 5-900 dollars. I'm only really typing documents, playing music, watching Netflix an KZbin and other entertainment stuff. The laptop must display full 1080p. Is this a good laptop for that stuff and maybe a little more?

[@Eternal2007]

Yes, this is an excellent laptop based on your usage. However, be sure to check out the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro as well.

[@paramhans3819]

Approx 1500$ and what about razer blade????

[@erikwiley7392]

Would this last four years of college?

[@godessofshadows4221]

I have this laptop, and am on it right this moment, and the only thing I don't like about it is the whole touch screen bit. If I can't fold it, or revers it into a touch pad, what's the point of it being touch screen? My hand gets tired trying to do things with it when my mouse gets annoying.

[@50hellkat2]

+GodessofShadows i do not understand what you mean? re if i can't fold it or reverse it into a touch pad? your hands get tired? can you clarify cuz i am thinking about getting it but currently don't have a touch screen except for on my cell phone. So ....this is why i am a little clueless. Do you have to use the touch screen aspect or can you choose to use your mouse always?

[@MollyKuehl4790]

I got this laptop for Christmas :)

[@christianp3050]

I'm thinking about getting this for Christmas. Do you think this is a very good laptop?

[@MollyKuehl4790]

Christian Smith it's a good laptop at least from what I can see but try to get it for Christmas not really going to happen. I thought that I was getting this one for Christmas but it turned out that that was not the one I got they do not sell this version at all anymore you would have to get the next version up which is the 1 I have so its essentially the improved version of this which is a lot of money! The one I got is roughly $1300- $2300 the one you see in this video that's only $999 so just shy of a Thousand is not in existence anymore. If you want this particular model you will be able to get it refurbished online for $650... Trust me I spent forever looking for this one! The only one that I was able to find was the upgraded version which is the one I have now. I even contacted HP about this. I actually thought I had this one until I checked more into it. But if you do go looking for this particular model you will be directed to the upgraded version it's a little more expensive but it's also more powerful. I honestly do not know what ever happened to this one. I can't say I mind though the fact that its stats are slightly higher. The only downside is it has this weird habit of the touchpad not being responsive if you use the touch screen too often.

[@MollyKuehl4790]

Oh and PS 3 HP if you get the particular one I have which is the upgraded version you need to pay them another $500 and you'll get 3 year hardware protection for any damage that happens which means if you throw it out of window they will replace it for free and they cover it for 3 years rather than the two years that they have for the cheaper ones.

[@Eternal2007]

Price alert! This laptop is now on sale for $879.99 @ Bestbuy.

Could u game on it

[@Villiantino]

I'm so upset that HP removed this style of the Envy off its site as a customizable laptop, the newer design isn't as sleek as this one, sadly. Truly a great loss.
