Fans of notebooks with large screens will be overjoyed with HP’s latest offering, the HP Envy 15 series. Not all notebooks in the market offer such large screens, especially for gaming or entertainment. The 15.6 inch FHD LED backlit Touchscreen features a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This is sufficient that user do not have troubles seeing details, but small enough to keep the notebook relatively light. The hardware includes a 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5-421OU processor with integrated HD 4400 Graphics card and a NVIDIA GeForce 840M graphics card for moderately demanding games.
There is a 750 GB storage hard disk for all your important data. This HP series of notebooks purportedly provides a high quality built and robustness. The 4-cell battery is sufficient to power the laptop for several hours. A software suite for most of the general purpose computer tasks, such as surfing the net and office related tasks, is included. However, given the price, one might consider more affordable options.
NVIDIA GeForce 840M:
Mid-range graphics card from the GeForce 800M series based on the Maxwell architecture.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
