HP ENVY dv7 Review

The old HP Pavilion dv7 is dead. Long live the ENVY dv7! This update to HP's popular 17-inch multimedia laptop might pack enough value to be a true heir to the PC throne.

Easy to upgrade parts or replace battery ; Dual storage bays ; Multiple processor and graphics configurations ; Great speakers and Full HD screen option ; Standard 2-year warranty

Glossy finish around screen and between keys shows fingerprints and dust ; No touchscreen option for Windows 8, no downgrade support for Windows 7 ; Integrated mouse buttons feel cheap ; Not as attractive as the premium ENVY 17 it has replaced ; The...

The replacement for the Pavilion dv7, the new ENVY dv7, offers a good balance of configuration options and cost.
