My HP envy 750-624 has 4 core I7 7700 quad with Optane memory. I am very very very pleased with the machine. Very FAST!!! What I was not please with is the support from Best Buy, Windows, or HP on a new machine right out of the box. The HP Envy 750-624 has16 gig of Intel Optane memory in from of the hard drive making the hard drive look like solid state and as fast. This was very confusing knowing it had a WD Blue 1TB sata drive. You can not run normal Windows defrag on the C drive. I called Best Buy support and they refused to talk to me with out an extended warranty and hung up the call. I called Windows and they wanted a credit card to talk to me and they hung up my call. I called HP and HP wanted me to buy a support warranty on a brand new machine with one year warranty I refused and HP hung up the call. I called the Geek Squad at the store where I bought the PC ( only help I got ) and was told to return the machine for exchange. I returned it then setup and new machine and same thing!!!!!!!!!!! Solid State Drive!! So I figured there must be some one that could tell me what is going on with this. I found it on the Intel Web site. The Optane memory speeds up the data retrieval on a hard drive as fast as a solid state and it does that. But the problem is the memory looks like solid state to Win 10 and will not defrag. So to get around this you can run "Power Shell as admin" and "defrag C:" problem fixed!!!! By the way this is FREE!! No credit card or extended anything required!!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
