While the primary functions of this HP are working correctly, several of the ports on the left side of the case work inconsistently. The HDMI port (#10) worked properly during the first week when I had the laptop, but it doesn't work now. (The LP Monitor to which it is connected still works correctly with another laptop I own.) The USB-C ports #11 and #12 also work well sometimes but not always. Are there loose port connections? Horrible HP quality control!
This is the first laptop I have bought myself since graduate school 30 years ago. However, I liked the HP laptops provided to me by my employer over the last 15 years, so that's the company I looked at when I left to go my own way. My main criteria was a large screen. This one is big and beautiful. I don't use it for gaming - just work, surfing the web and videos. The only shocker was how heavy she is. Oof. I mean it was in the specs, but I didn't quite anticipate how much more she would weigh than my old one - I mistakenly thought that getting rid of my ancient disk drive would lighten the load but screens are clearly heavy. Still - it fits in all my backpacks and carry abgs and that's all I need.

lousy touchpad

This was delivered on Jan 2, 2025. The touchpad operates sporadically. Sometimes it responds to a tap but often it does not. I use a tap on the touchpad to use the computer, thus the touchpad needs to work right each time I tap it.
Beautiful computer. I bought it for school/work/gaming and it’s perfect. Opens and loads quickly, Windows 11 isn’t as terrible as it could be. So far I love it. I hope this Envy lasts 10 years like the last one did.
I love this laptop. I use it for gaming and I'm very impressed with it's performance. For years I used the "D" brand but I don't regret switching to HP now. Highly recommend this laptop for gaming. Also, this laptop has a high speed internet card which makes browsing and downloading really fast.
Improvements have been made on the HP Envy when compared to my previous model. The keyboard is well lighted, and the letters is visible during the day. The pinching screen hinge has been eliminated. I would have like one more USB C outlet. However, this is a minor issue.
