A:AnswerThis touchscreen laptop has the 11th generation i7 processor with 12 GB DDR4-3200 RAM and 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 solid-state drive. That means it has faster RAM with a newer and faster i7 processor. It also has a solid-state drive, which has no moving parts. The solid-state drive will move faster and be more durable than a hard drive. This laptop also has 32 gigabytes of Optane Memory. Optane Memory essentially remembers the most used applications faster. So, it will give you faster performance.
A:AnswerHi Mike. The HP Envy 17m-cg1013dx laptop has a 512 GB Intel® PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD installed. It is removable/replaceable. There are 1TB and 2TB modules available from various sources.
A:AnswerYes, this would be good for video editing. Some software, however, may require 16GB when using larger files. These 2 models would be good for video editing:

A:AnswerHi Zani, thank you for the question. The Envy 17m-cg1013dx product specification indicates that the battery life is up to 9 hours and 30 minutes. Battery life will vary depending on various factors including loaded applications, features, use, wireless functionality, and power management settings. The laptop supports battery fast charge: approximately 50% in 45 minutes.
A:AnswerHello! Yes, you can upgrade the storage by adding a 2.5" HDD or SDD. This requires significant disassembly so you may wish to consult Geek Squad for assistance. FYI here is a link to the Maintenance and Service guide for this laptop: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06598442.pdf
A:AnswerMy computer averaged about 5,25 hours on the battery. This was from 98% to 10% on the battery when I tested it. My cooling fan cycle is short, about 1 to 2 minutes. It doesn't seem to run that often either. I'm in the house with a/c. A warm enviroment would make the fan run more using up the battery.
A:AnswerThe display has a slight bezel on 3 sides and edge to edge glass covering it. Here are the details of the display: 17.3-inch diagonal, FHD (1920 x 1080), multitouch-enabled, IPS, edge-to edge glass, 300 nits, 100% sRGB
