With media in mind, HP has created a machine with exceptional entertainment features and a larger screen to provide a more immersive experience. Not only are there great graphics, but HP has also incorporated a three-speaker Beats audio system to offer inviting audio.

Kick It Into Gear With The HP Envy 17

Powered by Intel’s Core processors, the HP Envy has a couple of power options. The base model is outfitted with the Core i5-430M, which has a maximum data rate of 2.53GHz when the Turbo Boost technology kicks in. If you’re planning on playing the latest 3D video games or running advanced applications, opt for the Core i7-820QM processor; its quad core layout will ensure that you never have to deal with game lag.

A processor, though, is not all that goes into creating a powerful system. Memory plays a big part, too. That’s why HP has equipped the Envy 17 with a minimum of 4GB DDR3 memory and made it expandable to 8GB.

Crystal Clear, Super Sharp

HP has proven its dedication to customers’ needs by installing a 17.3-inch high-definition 1080p monitor to give users a true entertainment experience. The colors are crystal-clear, the picture is super sharp and the integrated ATI Mobility Radeon HD5850 graphics card – with its 1GB of memory – provides seamless playback of anything, whether it’s Call of Duty 4 or the high-definition version of Shrek.

For a great change of pace, there’s now a laptop that features truly high-end sound at an affordable price. Three speakers – two standard and one powered subwoofer – from Beats audio makes the HP Envy 17 truly the envy of competitors. Gone are the days where you’d have to use high-end headphones for high-end sound.

The HP Envy 17 Rises To Meet Your Needs

HP has updated its design and the result is truly inspiring. The Envy 17 features an island-style keyboard that rises to the level of the surrounding case, which creates a very nice effect. The touchpad, too, is flush with the case; in fact, it’s integrated right into it. If it weren’t for the large button next to the touchpad area, you’d never even know it was there.

The HP Envy 17 is a larger machine than its smaller siblings, so count on there being more ports. For starters, there is a stunning integrated optical drive in the form of a DVD-R/Bluray combo. Two USB 2.0 ports provide access to peripheral devices while the third – a USB 3.0 port – allows users to transfer data at exceptionally fast speeds. There are also VGA and HDMI ports for connecting to external displays.

HP has updated the design on its entire fleet, marking a stark and eye-pleasing change to the face of the laptop market that will surely carry over to other companies’ designs. In lieu of the glossy surfaces popular for the last few years, HP has switched to brushed aluminum, which provides a very modern feel.
