For the price, this had the best combination of AMD processor and disk space (750GB), plus a DVD drive (a lot of the laptops don't have them anymore). I am happy with the size, weight and ease of use. Not a big fan of Windows 8, but it's not like you have much of a choice anymore. I'd definitely recommend this laptop.

The computer works great. Not a fan of Windows 8, but almost all computers come with it. Only problem, description said it came with dragon naturally speaking software but I couldn't find. After a couple of calls, Best Buy made sure that I had the program as promised.

Conditioned received as "refurbished" essentially the same as new per my observation. Speed, display, built in functions better than any of the last 5 laptops I have owned. Not wild about Windows 8. This machine does not include touch screen (I did not want this function) but even if it did I believe the Windows 8 would feel awkward on a business use laptop. Maybe with more use this impression will diminish.

i have purchase 2 different laptops before this one. i am some what satisfy with most that this hp envy can offer but not some. it depends on what you want to sacrifice. performance wise this thing is a beast along with its video cache. but the fault here is it screen display. color are as crisp and clean. its a bit faded compared to others. the screen is very glossy so glares on it are horrible. also im constant seeing my reflections. beats audio is lame. my phone speakers sound way better than these junk speakers. other than that the finger print is nice to have. while watching videos its doesn't freeze or choppy.. its pretty smooth. back lit keyboard a plus!! voice recognition nice feature. another plus it doesnt get hot quick and fan is quite.

QuestionProcessorWhat is a better processor? The i5 or AMD quad core
Asked 12 years ago by lightning.
- Answer i5 is a better processor but the graphics that come with an a10 (amd radeon hd 7660g) are better than the i5 graphics (intel hd 4000). So you have to choose which one you want depending on what you'll be using the laptop for.
