    This is an amazing computer! I needed something portable with a large screen. I didn't want a laptop so i tried this. The automatic retractable feet mean i can pick it up and set down on any flat surface at any time while I'm using it. I bought a case to carry it in, though it is larger than average. I accepted that at first because of my old eyes. I can unplug it and the battery lasted almost five hours. I use it to write with it as an author, and can take it to my trailer on the mountains. I have power, but i can this one outside to write. One drawback... it comes with a keyboard of course, but without a number pad. I needed one so i bought a separate Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use, but take the other with me as well, as it has its own pouch in the back. It also is a touch screen!

    Portable AIO that works.

    Our current HP AIO is getting old and we decided to try out the new HP Envy Move AIO to see how it would be as a replacement. Unboxing and Setup The Move comes in a plain heavy cardboard box and is very well protected sitting inside a pressed paper frame. It’s also covered by a thick paper type cover helping protect it during shipping. Inside with it is the keyboard “with built in trackpad”, power adapter, power cord and some paperwork. At first glance I was wondering how the “attached legs” worked as I could not turn them and there were little black pegs sticking out the bottom of them. So after picking up the device with the heavy duty rubber handle/strap and starting to set on the table the legs automatically rotate forward, no need to touch them, “pretty cool”. If you pick the device up off the table, the legs automatically rotate in turning them out of the way for transportation. Now looking around the Move, on the right side, is the power button toward the top, a rocker switch for screen brightness, a button to pick screen inputs, a HDMI port and a power port. On the left side is another rocker button for volume, a USB C port and a full-sized USB A Port. There’s nothing on the back except for a cloth stretchy pocket you can put the keyboard in, and on top is a slider for webcam privacy and some vents for intake and exhaust. The front has a cloth strip covering the speakers and at top of the screen there’s the webcam and Windows Hello IR emitter. The included keyboard is a chicklet style keyboard and pretty easy to type on, and if you are used to the keys on a laptop, you won’t have any problem typing on it. There is a very large trackpad to the right where a keypad would normally be and is very sensitive to the touch, pressing down for a mouse click gives a very audible tactile click. The Move itself is very lightweight, and even though the screen size is the same as the HP AIO we already have it’s physically smaller, thinner and lighter. The color scheme is an off white with little black specs in it “almost like pepper” and looks pretty good, the finish is also matte and there’s no gloss to it at all. Setting up is pretty straightforward, just plug in and turn on following the onscreen instructions. The included keyboard does come with batteries you need to install but it would not work during initial setup and I had to use the on screen keyboard which was pretty easy. After going through all the Windows setup, the keyboard was finally recognized and worked fine afterwards. Using: The system has an I5 processor and 8gb of memory and I wasn’t expecting a speed demon, but for everyday tasks, “browsing the web, word processing, streaming media, ect.” It’s plenty fast. It also works great for basic gaming and any of the MS games like Candy Crush, Solitaire, Mahjong all work flawlessly and never stuttered. I wasn’t going to try any newer high end gaming titles but wondered if it would handle an older game so I installed Fallout 4. At native resolution and all graphics set to “low” I was only getting 29-46fps, but setting the graphics to 1280*720, “graphics still on low” it managed 58-72fps, and the game was actually playable and looked pretty good. Next I decided to try Witcher 3 “not expecting much” and with the graphics set to “low” at 1280*720 it managed 32-46fps. The image doesn’t look great but it’s playable. Now I didn’t use the trackpad for playing, I did end up using a Logi Bluetooth mouse to play those. I was impressed that the system never became hot or the fans got very loud, I never really could hear them while playing the games, and any heat comes out the right top vent, the left is the intake. I did some benchmarks with Geekbench 5 and the new i5 processor stood up pretty well. Now I’m comparing it to a newer Alienware m15 with a gen 13 i7 processor and dedicated GPU but against the Intel UHD 700 graphics it actually wins by a good bit “see the picture included in the review”, so there are no complaints there performance wise. The screen itself looks great, I we were both surprised just how well movies looked on it as the blacks are very black with no bleeding, and everything played smoothly, we both agreed it had as good of an image as our dedicated TLC 4k tv even though this is a 2k screen, and 4k wouldn’t really be needed on a 24” screen. Sound is very good coming from the Bang and Olufsen speakers and got plenty loud for our viewing. It would be easy to add a Bluetooth speaker or Bluetooth headphones for privacy or if you need more volume than what the built in provides. The built in webcam works good, it has a better image than our old AIO and it has the built in IR light for using the Windows “Hello” face login. This feature works really well and the system recognizes anyone that has an account set up and logs them into that account every time, we had no issues with that at all. This system also has a built-in battery so you can unplug and take it into another room to use very easily. I tried out the battery and easily got 3 hours of streaming off Netflix or Max. The cordless part is a neat feature I’ve never seen before in a AIO, It’s like having a 24” Windows tablet “tried that and it works”. And if you are streaming a movie it’s easy to take around the house plop down where you want it. As for upgradeability, you really shouldn’t try, but I did open up ours and found there’s only one SSD connector, and the memory is soldered to the mother board and no expansion slots available. The only other item you could change is the WiFi card, and that’s it. You could replace the SSD if needed or want a larger drive than the 512k that’s included but for most people that will be more than enough. Conclusion: This is really a different device, sort of a mix between a very large tablet and an AIO, it works and works very good in most cases. We did, and still do, have some issues with the keyboard stops working after waking up the system, “the trackpad still works though”, turning off/on the power resolves this and hopefully a driver fix will take care of this issue. The rotating legs work well and are made of metal, they aren’t flimsy and once in place the device does feel very sturdy, but they do not work well or at all on a softer surface “not that you should be setting on a bed anyway” but those pegs that turn the legs do need a firm surface to sit on for them to work correctly. I should also note that the legs do allow a little bit of tilt to them too, “which surprised us” and just enough if you happen to be sitting higher than the screen or want to tilt away some glare from the glossy screen. There are a lot of features with this system too, it will tell you if you are sitting too close to the screen and you can configure that as a popup or it can blur the screen till you move further away. The distance it gives the warning can be adjusted easily within the app or just turned off. There’s also a auto audio level that will increase the volume as you get further away so no need of going back to turn up the volume. There aren’t many ports, just two USB ports, a C and a full sided A, and I would have liked to see one USB on each side. The HDMI port on the right works as an input so you can hook up a DVD player and use the screen as a monitor. There’s also no SD card slot so you’ll have to use a reader if you want to transfer any files from say a camera or video device. You’ll also have to remember that this system really isn’t upgradeable, “SSD yes”, but getting it open is not exactly easy. So if you are looking for a web browsing, media consumption AIO and want to do some word processing and light office work, “can even throw in some light gaming” this new HP Envy Move is going to be a great AIO for you.

    What a novel idea for a portable computer. At first, I wasn’t sure how well it would work as a portable computer with such a large screen, but it’s grown on me and definitely has utility. It’s a cross between a laptop and a desktop that gives you the screen of a desktop and some of the portability of a laptop. I’ve found this especially useful at work. I can use this as my workstation, but if I need to go to another building, or location away from my desk, I can easily bring it with me and still have access to a large, easy to view screen. The legs move in and out of position as you set the computer down on a flat surface and they do a good job holding it upright, but time will tell how they hold up as they seem to be made of plastic and are not very large. The webcam has a sliding cover, and the carry handle is held to the back of the computer by a magnet. It even has a battery, which is a huge plus. You only get about 2 hours of battery life, but the option to move it around without taking the power cord is a huge plus. This is especially useful with the warehouse work I do in that I can have a computer with a full-size screen and quickly and easily move the computer to wherever I need it without dealing with a bunch of cords. I have several workstations setup around the warehouse, and I can quickly go to any of them without issue to conduct some work, mainly audits. The Bluetooth also comes in handy to pair a cordless Zebra 8178 scanner. The hardware is pretty much standard, 13th generation Intel i5, 8GB of RAM, HD screen, webcam, and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo. I don’t see any ability to easily increase the RAM, upgrade the hard drive, or replace the battery in the future so make sure it has all the options you need. It has 1 USB port, 1 USB-C port, 1 HDMI port, and there is no memory card slot. I’ve had no issues with Office, Teams, Zoom, OBS studio, DaVinci Resolve, or Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017. Programs open quickly and I can easily switch between multiple open programs. The integrated speakers are nice and give you a good sound and your music collection will sound nice on them, just don’t expect much bass output. Overall, this is a nifty setup. At first I wasn’t sure how I would use it, but the more I use it the more uses I find for it. It’s not as portable as a laptop, but having a large screen in such an easy to move bundle is really nice to have.

    HP You Knocked It Out Of The Park And Perfectly!

    Was excited to try out this new HP All In One Portable Envy Move computer! It did not disappoint! Arrived packaged very securely in a heavyweight box with handle. It is only wireless as there isn't an ethernet port for direct connecting to your router. I have it in my kitchen and the router is only a few feet away so the wifi was discovered right away. No issues there. Even taking it on my patio however didn't hinder my wifi connection, which was a pleasant surprise. When you lift the computer for portability the feet automatically swing in, then when setting back down they spread out. No way will you forget to place the feet correctly on this one, especially if you move it from room to room or outside. A nice feature indeed! The handle is like a rubberized material and lies flat facing downwards on the back. Carries securely and easily as well. It has an excellent white keyboard ~ roomy and large ~ with a built in trackpad to the right. Responds flawlessly or you can use the touchscreen. It has a nice layout and the keys feel great when typing. You can also store it in the pocket on back of the computer when you are moving it from place to place. That feature is totally awesome. I really like the fact you don't need an external mouse if you don't wish to use the 23.8" QHD (2560x1440) touchscreen. The keyboard uses 4 AAA batteries which are included. It has a Bluetooth 5.3 wireless card and Wi-Fi 6 (2x2). Upon starting up and signing in with my Microsoft One account I had it import the data from my other Windows 11 computer. Worked perfectly! After that it went into the update mode which took about 20 minutes. You'll find across the bottom front and keyboard pocket on back a shell white color recycled woven polyester fabric. If you plan on moving this around a lot I suggest being extra careful so it doesn't get dirty, especially carrying outside. It looks very nice however and definitely adds character to the appearance. Guess you can call me fussy but it might be nice if HP offered a black design as well as the light one I received. Just a thought - certainly NOT a deal breaker. As far as the sound it's pretty decent. The speakers are Bang & Olufsen so certainly HP didn't cheap out on that feature. I watched Netflix films on it and they sounded really nice and full. It also has a 5 MP Wide Vision camera which you can shut off with a switch on top if you want it in privacy mode. Works very well too! Nice clear pictures and has dual array digital microphones. For inputs you'll find 1 USB Type-C, 1 USB Type-A and an HDMI in. There is also the power supply charger input as well. The screen does not tilt so where it lands once those legs are extended is where it remains. It does have a fixed slight backwards tilt however and I found the angle quite comfortable to look at. I don't think most people will have an issue at all with an adjustable tilt not being available. Since it's portable it will be running on a 6-cell, 83 Wh Li-on polymer battery when unplugged. There is a status icon in the taskbar at bottom which will tell you the remaining battery life in hours and minutes. I really liked this feature a lot! No more having to wonder if it's going to go dead on you while you're right in the middle of a project. When I unplugged it the charge was at 100%. That charge time was very close to what was noted on the status icon as it lasted for about 4 hours 20 minutes. I didn't let it get completely drained but at 10% plugged it back in again. This is such a superb idea to have a portable battery system on a desktop style AIO computer. It's genius in my opinion! My HP computer has worked incident free since setup. It's speedy and looks great. Stays connected to my wifi with no dropped signals. This has been my go to computer since I received it and I honestly must say it's awesome. The picture quality is wonderful, battery life exceptional for a computer this size and I highly recommend its purchase. I really love this computer and you will too!

    Portable with Caveats

    I received the new HP Envy Move, which is a portable All-in-One Desktop computer. I will say that yes, it is portable, like most All-in-One’s are. There are a couple of features that set it apart from the other All-in-One computers. It has an internal battery with a decent battery life, therefore like a laptop you can charge it and then unplug it and take it wherever you want. It also has a keyboard with built-in mouse pad, so no need for both, if carrying it around. On the back of the computer there is a pocket to store your keyboard. It has a touch screen QHD 2K screen, this is great especially for streaming. It also has a handle with a magnetic clasp for easy portability. A couple of more positives are that it comes with Windows 11, has 8g of Ram and a 13th Gen i5 processor. I have a couple of concerns that limit it from being a great portable All-in-One. #1 the small legs for the base, yes, they tilt, but they do not seem as study as they need to be since they turn while carrying, they tilt as needed and they snap open as you set it down. I believe all this movement will make them wear out or break off, but only time will tell. #2 Small SSD, it only has a 512 SSD, It would have made more since to have a 1t NVME to make it truly portable, eventually you will either have to upgrade the size or use an external drive for storage. #3 It comes with a great screen; I am not sure if they envisioned people carrying it over to a friend’s house or just made it portable to move it around the house to different locations, but I would be worried that I would tap the screen with a corner, or a piece of furniture and it would crack. It would have been great if it came with a protective padded sleeve with a slot in the top for the handle. The last thing to me that is a downer is that it’s not mountable, there is no mounting holes on the machine. I had envisioned using this as a communication hub for my family. Mount it on the wall in the kitchen, have reminders, grocery list, appointment, and what nots, but now I do not know where to put it. Take up valuable counter space? build a wall mounted shelf? It would have been a great addition if it only was mountable.

    The HP - Envy Move 23.8" QHD Touch-Screen Portable All-in-One - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD is a great all-in-one computer for office and home use. I find the processor to have more than adequate speed when browsing or bringing up documents, even with several tabs open. The picture/screen and sound qualities are excellent. I like the mobility of the computer and the battery life is sufficient for making presentations. Set up was extremely easy. At this point, I highly recommend this machine for office or personal use.

    A Clever Concept, But Execution Needs Work

    |
    Tech Insider Network Member
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The HP Envy Move Portable is a clever concept. Its intent is to deliver the performance of a desktop AIO with the portability of a laptop. Unfortunately, I didn't think it did either very well. As far as specifications, the 13th Generation Intel i5 processor is quite capable, but in this system, it is paired with only 8GB of RAM. The 512GB SSD is adequately sized, and the QHD display is large, bright and crisp. I even took the HP Envy Move outside on an early Autumn sunny day, and the display was quite good, even at 3/4 brightness. Sound from the B&O speakers (underneath the display) is very good and has ample loudness. The right side of the unit features an HDMI in port (along with an input selection buton, so the display can also be used as an external monitor), a barrel power port, the power button, and brightness adjust toggle. The left side of the unit houses a USB-A port (charging + data), a USB-C port (charging and data), and a volume adjust toggle. The system also has a nice integrated camera with a privacy slide, which is located at the top center of the unit. The HP Envy Move has an integrated handle with a magnetic catch on the back of the screen. This keeps the handle nicely secured when not in trasport. The handle does have good feel and it is not flimsy. The feet on the bottom rotate out of the way when the unit is lifted up and settle confidently in place when the unit is set down. Equipped with a bluetooth keyboard and integrated trackpad, there is a pocket on the backside of the unit for storage during transport. Execution of the portability is quite efficiently done. I used the system for about a week, mainly for audio and video digitization--taking old records, VHS and cassette tapes and converting them to MP4 and MP3. The portability of the system allowed me to take it to analog devices (turntable, cassette player, VHS player) instead of the other way around, which was quite convenient. I was able to get about 6 hours of run time off the battery. The system overall performed well, but admittedly what I was using it for was not overly taxing. Unpackaging the HP Envy Move was nothing short of a disaster. The protective wrap around the unit did not come off easily at all and I wound up shredding the whole thing. It was very aggravating. There are a lot of shortcomings to this unit that make it hard for me to recommend to others. As I mentioned before, the 8GB of RAM is a bit stingy. I don't know if I can open the system and upgrade the RAM or if it is soldered in--that is something I will need to investigate more. But if the system is supposed to be the best of both a desktop AIO and a laptop, 8GB of RAM really limits the productivity of multiple applications running simultaneously. In addition, there is a severe lack of ports. There is no HDMI out and only one USB-C and one USB-A port. Again, for a desktop AIO, this is woefully short and for portability--the same. In my opinion, a big miss here. Most AIOs have ports on the back of the unit. On the HP Envy Move, there are none. The included keyboard / trackpad combo is very awkward because the trackpad is located to the right of the keyboard. It is large, but unnaturally placed, especially if you are used to a laptop setup, where the trackpad is beneath the keyboard. Even after a week of use, it is still quite a clumsy setup for me. And what abut left-handers? I would have preferred a keyboard without a trackpad and a slim mouse intead. They still would package just fine in the integrated pocket. The last shortcoming I found was the lack of a carrying bag. When toting around the HP Envy Move, the screen is either going to bounce against my side or it is going to be exposed to whatever I brush against. The screen is easily going to get scratched or damaged during transport. Overall, the HP Envy Move has some really neat features. Having a full portable system with a large screen will appeal to many consumers. However, the lack of ports, limited RAM, and a clunky keyboard / trackpad combo prevents this otherwise cool concept from being considered well executed.

    Innovative all-in-one with one significant issue

    Pros: Fast for everyday use Excellent speakers Privacy shutter for webcam Good webcam quality Good display quality Touchscreen Very portable Ability to use as an HDMI monitor Battery built-in Touchpad on keyboard is very responsive and smooth Keyboard types well, comfortable to use Facial recognition works great Good build quality Cons: No built-in way to adjust height Limited ports for connectivity The HP Envy Move is not your typical all-in-one computer. It has a nice carrying handle on the back that makes it easy to move around. The legs on the bottom flip out as soon as you sit the computer down on a flat surface. The design of this machine is really unique and is unlike anything I have ever seen before. I was really impressed with the speakers on this machine. They can get very loud and the audio quality was excellent even at a loud volume. It is great that the built in speakers are so good on this machine, given that it is intended to be portable and easy to move around. The QHD display is also great, and the quality of materials on this machine seems to be good. It is also great to see that this was made using recycled materials. There seems to be a lot of thought that was put into this machine. There is a privacy shutter for the webcam, there is an HDMI port so this can be used as a monitor, there is a pocket in the back for the keyboard and touchpad, and the carrying handle magnetically attaches to the back of the machine when not in use. There is a battery built into this machine which allows this to be used without being plugged into power and also keeps the machine running if the power ever goes out. That is a really nice feature to have on a desktop computer. My biggest complaint is that there is not a way to raise the height of the machine. If you sit with this at a desk, it sits low which encourages bending your neck down and bad posture. It is disappointing that there isn’t a way to adjust the height and I think this is a significant oversight by HP. You can tilt the screen some, but there is no built-in option to raise the height. This may be less of a concern if you intend to move this around regularly, do not plan to use it at a desk much, or if you have something you can sit it on to increase the height. But if you care about the height of the display when sitting down at a desk, there is not a provided option to adjust it. For me, the lack of height adjustment capability is a significant concern which has weighed on my review heavily. Another minor complaint with this machine is that it is lacking on ports. It has a power port, one HDMI, one USB C, and one USB A. That being said, if you need additional ports, you can connect a USB C hub. I wouldn’t consider this to be a huge deal given that you can use a USB C hub, but it would have been nice to have additional ports built in. If you are looking for an all-in-one computer that is portable or if you are looking for some of the other unique features mentioned, this might be right for you. Would I recommend this if you intend to use the machine for extended periods sitting at a desk? Probably not, given the lack of height adjustment. That being said, depending on your use case or your specific preferences, the height issue may not be a problem. If that isn’t an issue for you, I think this is an otherwise great machine with some very unique features and good quality components.

    Nicely fills a PC niche that I didn’t know existed

    What is it? The new HP ENVY Move 23.8” Portable All-In-One Computer amazes me on several levels. The first being, it fills a niche in the PC world that I didn’t even know existed. It’s called a Portable All-In-One Computer and it fits neatly somewhere between a laptop and a desktop. Basically, it is designed to be a very portable desktop PC. When HP designed it, I can only assume that portability was the #1 requirement for the designers and engineers. They knocked this one out of the park! It’s a beautiful looking computer in its design and its simplicity. It really is an exceptionally nice-looking computer! Oh, and it’s fast, very fast! First, the most obvious thing to talk about is the QHD display, which is phenomenal! So glassy looking with such brilliant colors. QHD stands for Quad High Definition and is also known as 2K resolution. QHD offers an excellent middle ground between full HD and Ultra-HD 4K resolutions. This display is stunning. The speakers sound really quite good. They deliver a nice full sound absent of any tinny tones so common in most computers’ built-in speakers. No, they’re not going to fill a room like a high-end sound system would, but they sound great when you’re sitting in front of the computer or even halfway across the room listening to music. After unboxing, the setup was flawless. The machine basically did all the setup for me. The only thing I had to do was type in our Wi-Fi password. It even found and offered our correct Wi-Fi name from within the sea of Wi-Fi names floating around in our digital neighborhood. The camera and face recognition software was easy to set up and has never failed to recognize me when I sit in front of the computer with or without eyeglasses and even in lowlight conditions. By the way, the camera has a privacy shutter. How to use it? Basically, you use it like a regular Windows 11 computer on a desk, table, floor, or any other stable, flat surface. Then when you’re done using it there, you simply pick it up and take it somewhere else, set it down on another flat surface, and begin using it over there. It’s that easy. Who would use it? Anyone who might appreciate having a portable Windows 11 computer with a 24” monitor that is much, much larger than a laptop, but without it being a flat-surface hog like a full-blown desktop system. Also, one of the downsides of a full desktop system is that because they’re rarely moved, they collect lint and dust in, on, and all around it. And because of all the cables, plugs, and accessories inherent to a desktop computer they almost never get disconnected, moved, and cleaned. It’s just too much trouble. This HP ENVY Move 23.8” Portable QHD Touchscreen All-In-One Computer can be easily picked up, moved, cleaned, and should therefore keep your desk and computer area much cleaner. At least that’s my theory. If you’re careful with it, you could treat this portable computer like a large laptop that you might take from home to the office and back, but unless you’re very careful it could be damaged in transport. For that purpose, I would expect to eventually see a slip-in protective case sold as an after-the-sale accessory. I think this portable computer would work best as a home’s second computer or even the home’s main computer that you can conveniently move to various locations in your home as your family’s needs change throughout the day or week. It could be on the kitchen counter for entertainment or recipes during family meal preparation, then later moved to a child’s desk for homework, or the dining room table or coffee table for video calls, and finally to a home office for some late-night work. My wife and I have never had a television in our bedroom and don’t particularly want one on a permanent basis. However, we are thinking about occasionally setting this portable computer on a dresser in our bedroom to stream a movie once in a while. Because of its extremely small footprint, this HP ENVY Move 23.8” Portable QHD Touchscreen All-In-One Computer would be the perfect computer for a tech savvy, elderly person in a retirement or nursing home. It takes up very little space, has a large 24-inch display, and a combined keyboard/touchpad. If I were to end up in a retirement or nursing home, I would want one of these. For those same reasons, this would be the perfect computer for a student away at college. No, a student would not carry it to class, that’s what laptops are for. But if I was a student in college today and had the means, I would want a laptop to take to class in my backpack, but I would want to come home to this HP portable computer in my apartment or dorm room. I don’t like using laptops enough to pound on them half the day, and then half the night too. How easy is it to move? Extremely easy because all you have to do is pick it up, carry it, set it down, and begin using it. To move it you would follow two or three of the following steps: 1. Unplug the AC adapter from the side of the computer. 2. Slip the combination keyboard/touchpad into the pouch on the back of the monitor. Or skip this step and just use the on-screen keyboard that pops up when you’re not using the external keyboard. 3. Finally, grab the handle at the top center of the monitor, pick it up, and go. You can even leave the AC adapter behind, and the portable computer will run on its internal battery for several hours before needing a recharge. Clever carry handle. When you set the computer down and let go of the handle on the top of the computer, the handle drops down and magnetically stores itself on the back of the computer. To move the portable computer again, you just reach down, grab the handle, and lift. Automatic kickstand feet. The nifty, clever, inventive, creative, imaginative (pick your own adjective because they all apply) kickstand feet on the bottom of the HP ENVY Move portable computer automatically close or open when the computer is raised from or lowered onto a flat surface. They are mechanical (no power needed) and are simply ingenious! I’ve not seen anything so helpful and extraordinarily simple in my entire life. Kudos to the HP engineers for coming up with those. Because these automatic kickstand feet are so unique and unusual, I found that during unpacking I had no idea what they were for or how they worked. At first, I thought they might be some kind of packing stabilizers that would then be removed and thrown away. But I couldn’t figure out how to remove them. Fortunately, it was at that point that I realized they might actually be the computer’s stand. Yes, I did feel like an idiot, but (listen up HP) it would have been more helpful during unpacking and set up if there were better instructions regarding how the kickstand feet work. Simplicity in instructions is great, but the overly-simple graphic printed on the portable computer’s packing sleeve fails to provide enough information for most of us simple-minded folk to figure out how those very interesting and unusual kickstand feet actually work. Just a suggestion. Combined keyboard and touchpad. I’m not particularly thrilled with the combined keyboard and touchpad. But that’s probably mostly me and the disability with my hands. I have almost no strength and very limited fine motor skill in both hands. Consequently, I found the HP keyboard keys to be a bit stiff to press. When compared, they are actually quite a bit harder to press than the dozen or so other keyboards I have in my home. So, I don’t think it’s just my fingers. After using the HP keyboard for about 10 minutes, I began to experience pain in my fingers. Please understand most other users would probably never notice the stiffer keypress. But I can only give you, my results. The touchpad is very large, has a good feel, and works well. I just wish it was on the left side of the keyboard instead of the right. I’m not naturally left-handed. I was right-hand dominant for my entire life until physical disability forced me to train my left hand to do everything that my right hand used to do. Neither hand is great, but my left hand can do more than my right. I wonder if HP will eventually come out with a left-handed version of this combined keyboard and touchpad? Maybe the genius HP engineer who came up with those great kickstand feet can redesign this keyboard so that the touchpad is versatile and could be installed on either side of the keyboard. All of the connections on this portable computer were easy to set up. I already mentioned the seamless connection to my Wi-Fi during set up. This portable computer was also easy to set up to print to and scan from my wireless HP color laser AIO. Setting it up was no problem at all. Battery charge. To perform a real-world field test of how long a full battery charge would last, I started streaming YouTube music over our Wi-Fi beginning with the battery at 100% charge. I shut off power to the computer and after 2 hours and 41 minutes of streaming music, the computer initiated a forced shutdown of itself with 5% battery charge still remaining and approximately 7 minutes of use left. I guess I had expected it to go to zero. Battery recharge. After the forced shutdown, I reapplied power back to the computer, turned it back on, and it took 2 hours and 16 minutes to reach 100% full battery charge again. I have been using personal computers since 1985 and I have no reservations in telling you that this is one of the better computers I’ve ever used. Like I said in the beginning, it fills a niche in the PC market that I never knew existed. With that in mind, this HP ENVY Move 23.8” Portable QHD Touchscreen All-In-One Computer will not be the solution for everyone looking for a new PC computer, but for those who envision a need for computer like this, I can highly recommend it and you will be getting your money's worth. I’m glad I got mine.

    I would recommend this to a friend
