HP - ENVY TouchSmart 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop - AMD FX-Series - 6GB Memory - 750GB Hard Drive - Natural Silver

Purchased the HP Envy Smart Touch about 1 month ago, so I am still learning each day about the computer. I really like the keyboard, the beats audio is really great, and I like the touch screen. The complete look of the computer is awesome. At first I was a little unsure about the computer and asked my manager and a couple of other computer smart co workers and they all agreed that it is a really good computer. So yes, I think the computer is a great computer for anyone!

The touchpad IS infuriating. The wireless speeds ARE slow. The silver plastic, simulating aluminum, looks cheap. The hinges needed to be stronger so there's less flex when using the touchscreen. The lighted keyboard is nice, but perhaps TOO bright. USBs don't insert ALL the way in. For the money, it should have come with 8 gb. RAM, not just six gb. The FX chip and R7 may graphics MAY be enhancing game play as advertised, as all Steam games are playing with little to no lag. Without a comparison laptop, it's hard to know if the extra money spent on the FX upgrade is paying off. Perhaps I should have stayed with the on sale A10/Radeon 8560 version that was $129 cheaper. HOWEVER, customer service in the BestBuy store was EXCELLENT, so there's that.

I bought this product for my school and it is good to use

I bought it for gaming. The graphics are phenomenal. The laptop itself is not durable at all, and by simply running, setting idle, not on sleep, the battery lasts less than half of its advertised life time. The touch pad is atrocious, and because it runs on a Windows 8.1 OS, I have to fix my WiFi connection every time I turn it on. The touch screen is as good as one should expect. It's not a bad laptop, it's just not a good laptop. If it weren't so adequate for gaming, I'd regret it, but Christ that is one crisp image.

Windows 8 is strange to me only to have to learn the new windows 10 so im a little tired of having to learn everthing but Im getting there. The whole touch screen is nice but still getting used to it too but really cool. There is no dvd so kinda disappointed with that and if there is an option for a light up keyboard I still haven't found it. Things I didn't think about when I decided to buy BUT the beatsaudio sounds really good compared to my last laptop.

Caught this one on sale for $50 off. The FX processor intrigued me, I have an 8 core FX desktop that I game with, so I grabbed this one. Four processing cores and 6 graphics cores. It was a little poky, once I got it setup and patched, but 6 GB of ram is an odd number.Went to grab an 8 to swap out for the 2 GB stick that was in it (yes you can easily get to the ram) and brought it home. Matched all the specs for what was in it stock. The machine saw the ram, but refused to use it. A bit more digging showed that this machine needs LOW VOLTAGE ram. It will see other ram, even in the bios, but wont use it. Lucked into a sale on 16GB of Crucial, LOW VOLTAGE, on sale the next week and grabbed it. Dragon Age Inquisition and Evolve, on high settings, play flawlessly now. Does get a little warm, after a 3+ hours of playing, but nothing a standard cooling mat can't handle. It's not a gaming rig with the proper venting. But it's definitely worth the coin. I believe my son will be taking one to college with him next year. Yup, ,I'm that old!

I typically buy laptops under $500 but I wanted one that would last longer and capable of handling some light gaming. This laptop doesn't disappoint. It looks sleak, the touch screen is cool, but now that Windows 10 is out, I don't get to use it as much. I love the light up keyboard and all of the external hubs (HDMI and USBs, SD card). It handles gaming well too. So far I'm very happy with this great mid-grade laptop, I highly recommend.

Good looking, not too heavy, touch screen is a plus but I find I don't use it as much as I do the mouse. Overall I am happy with this computer as I upgraded from an ancient Toshiba, which served me well for many years. This is my first experience with HP and I just downloaded windows 10, although I haven't had but a brief experience with it. SO far so good but I have only owned it for a few short months.
