Nope, HP's Envy 17 still isn't the perfect desktop replacement -- the touchpad is still a bit finicky and it can get a bit warm during graphics intensive activities -- but like the Envy 14, it comes pretty darn close to it. If you can live with those shortcomings, and our guess is that you can by picking up an external mouse, the 17.3-inch rig is bound to keep you procrastinating -- whether with games, glorious sounding tunes or stunning HD movies -- for a very long time. Obviously, we speak from experience.

Desktop replacements usually come big, bigger, and biggest, with power and performance being their driving factors. The best under-$2,000 entertainment desktop replacement to date, the Envy 17 comes packed with extras that should drive the price up—but somehow don’t. Its performance and portability were also big surprises.

In an era where truly upscale laptops seem like an endangered species, it's always nice to run across a well-built system with few compromises, such as the HP Envy 17. We've always liked the Envy line in general, and the two most-recent models, the 14-inch Envy 14 and this 17-inch Envy 17, manage to surpass last year's original 13- and 15-inch versions by coming in at much more reasonable prices. Though it's still in the upper ranges of current laptop prices, HP's upscale-feeling Envy 17 offers great hardware at a decent price.

While $1,599 isn't exactly a budget price for a notebook these days, it's a steal when you consider everything the HP Envy 17 offers. You get a stunning but understated design, bright full HD display, fast performance, and strong graphics. Only the short battery life and Blu-ray playback issue we encountered keep this system from being an Editors' Choice pick. While Apple's (much more expensive) 17-inch MacBook Pro caters to a similar audience, you'll be hard-pressed to find another big-screen laptop that offers this much speed and style for the money.

Overall, the HP Envy 17 looks to be an elegant, relatively compact laptop (as desktop replacement systems go) for digital photographers, music buffs, video enthusiasts, and gamers. HP's Envy 17 is a robust, media-centric desktop replacement that's svelte enough to lug around if you need a large screen on the go. Just make sure you keep it cool!

The HP Envy 17 laptop has been designed to be sturdy thanks to its laser-etched aluminum body and looks extremely sleek and stylish. It does weight 7.51 pounds, which is quite heavy, so consider this a desktop replacement unit and not something you'd want to be carrying around. It measures 16.4 x 10.8 x 1.5-inches (wdh), so again, it's quite large.

The Envy 17 also features an especially nice screen, which is bright, produces vivid colors, and has good off-axis visibility. It’s a nice complement to the notebook’s Blu-ray reader. But don’t count on watching even standard-def DVDs on the notebook’s battery. We only got 58 minutes of runtime in our battery-life test using the Power Saver mode. It should also be noted that in both games and movie playback, the notebook gets pretty hot. But even with its few shortcomings, there’s an awful lot to like about the Envy 17. It’s good-looking, well built, and capable of performing the gamut of desktop functions to varying degrees of satisfaction, while remaining reasonably portable.

As we mentioned before, HP's Envy line of notebooks are often touted in the comments on our reviews as being alternatives to Apple's MacBook Pro series. In reviewing the Envy 17 at least, we find that's not entirely a fair comparison. Apple's notebooks seem designed more for students and visual arts professionals than for the average user, and the fact that HP equips the Envy with a modestly powerful Mobility Radeon HD 5850 should be evidence enough that they're gunning for another market entirely.

Pull up a chaise lounge and let us pour you a cognac, because today CNET UK is feeling luxurious. We suspect it's something to do with the HP Envy 17-1050ea that's just arrived in our office, a decidedly classy machine that'll set you back around £1,300. HP says this laptop is the pinnacle of computing luxury, and we're inclined to agree. It'll cost you dearly, but the Envy 17 offers great design and performance.

With the original price of Rs. 89,990, HP are now offering the Envy 17 for a reduced price of Rs. 69,990 throughout India. This offer started recently and will be applicable for the next couple of months. This is good pricing for a 17.3-inch multimedia notebook that’s capable of playing 3D Blu-rays. If those are your requirements then it’s certainly a good option. Another good alternative is the Dell Vostro 3750 which is better equipped and a lot cheaper but the screen size is smaller. There’s a reason for this drop in price though and I suspect HP is planning on refreshing their line-up very soon with the latest Sandy Bridge processors. Overall, HP’s Envy 17 is hard to beat when it comes to design and build quality. It’s a very good notebook for multimedia and the new pricing makes it very attractive. However, it’s still plagued with many issues. There’s the heating problem, battery life is not up to the mark, gaming performance is quite poor and you’ll be stuck with outdated hardware.

The HP Envy 17 3D is a premium machine, with flaws. There are notebooks with slightly better 3D that can't match it for style or build quality. Apart from potential heat issues and a laughable battery life there's little to complain about apart from the price, and there are few alternatives that have this spec at lower cost - and even fewer that are this desirable.

Desktop-replacement laptops usually come in one of three sizes: big, bigger, or biggest. Beyond that, power and performance, and more recently 3D capability, have been their differentiating factors. This 3D-capable laptop is identical to the 2D-only Envy 17 we loved, but its finicky 3D makes the price premium tough to swallow. Stick with the non-3D version for now.

HP's premium Envy 17 3D oozes class, is stuffed to the brim with features and connectivity, and offers powerful specifications. It includes a stylish metal-clad body, an impressive Full HD, 120Hz screen and accomplished 2.1 speakers, and with its comfortable 3D glasses provides one of the better mobile 3D experiences going. However, you pay a considerable premium for the same basic specifications that others better for less, so it's not the best offer around.

If this is your first foray into 3D laptops, then you'll need deep pockets and a strong back. The HP Envy 17 3D is a sleek, powerful heavyweight that brings out the best in 3D movies, but still has a bit of catching up to do on its NVIDIA gaming rival.

While the feature-packed Envy 17 includes a Blu-ray drive, both HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, and a USB 3.0 port, the addition of 3D hardware and active-shutter glasses isn't as much fun as it could be. HP's upscale-feeling Envy 17 3D offers great hardware at a decent price, but its 3D implementation isn't as good as that of laptops with Nvidia's 3D Vision.

There’s nothing really wrong with the specs: 17.3-inch, 1920×1080-pixel screen, 640GB hard drive, 6GB of RAM, 1.6GHz Core i7 CPU, and an ATI Radeon HD 5850 graphics card. These aren’t ultra-high-end specs – the usual stomping ground of the Envy line – and it shows on the benchmarks. The Envy 3-D performed about in line with older, smaller machines we’ve tested that cost hundreds of dollars less. Not bad, but hardly memorable.

The HP ENVY 17 3D is built for entertainment. If you plan on needing a cpu for business only, get a smaller machine, and one without 3D capabilities. If you want to watch spectacular graphics flash before your eyes on a titanic notebook, this is the monster for you. I’m not entirely convinced that the world is ready for 3D games, but it’s sure ready for movies, and when (if ever) the 3D gaming world catches up with reality, this ENVY will be ready. Bottom line is that if you’ve got entertainment in mind and you’d like it in a desktop-replacement notebook package, this is the one for you.

The Envy 17 3D is not cheap, but for $1,649 you get a premium design, quad-core power, solid gaming performance, Blu-ray, and a bright 1080p display. The 3D experience isn't as robust or as seamless as laptops powered by Nvidia's 3D Vision technology, but we like that the TriDef 3D software can convert 2D content on the fl, and supports many of the latest games. The only things we're not enamored with is the Envy 17 3D's short battery life and heat issues, which keep it from earning an Editor's Choice. If you're not that keen on 3D, you can pick up the Asus G73Jw-A1, a 17-incher that offers faster performance and better frame rates for about $50 to $100 more. Overall, though, the Envy 17 3D is a good-looking, fast, and fun 3D notebook.

Let’s compare the HP Envy 17 3D with the nattily named Sony Vaio VPCF21Z1E/BI, both being home-user 3D entertainment portables. Although the Sony Vaio is more powerful and has more comfortable 3D shutter glasses, HP’s Envy has a nicer design – the case is certainly less of a dust trap – and arguably more practical for lugging around the house and beyond, while also being significantly cheaper to buy. As giant laptops go, the Vaio is big and scary but the HP is big and friendly.

So what I took away from the HP Envy 17 3D is a wonderful package of high-end components packed inside a beautifully crafted chassis. It may not be as smartly engineered as a MacBook Pro, but neither does it look as boring. The 3D screen is great for movies, although I personally wouldn’t recommend it for gaming in 3D. Simply because the supplied GPU isn’t powerful enough to handle games at 1080p at full settings and in 3D. The onboard speakers are pretty good, and some of the best ones in a notebook of its class. The backlit keys are a nice welcome, and the overall appeal of this notebook is undeniable. It’s not perfect though, apart form the slightly weak graphics card the mouse pad doesn’t register all of the multi-touch gestures all the time. Apple seems to be the only one’s who have perfected this. But getting back to the Envy 17, if you’re in the market for an all round high-end notebook which doesn’t look boring or way too funky, then the HP Envy 17 3D is one of your best choices.

Starting at $1,250, the base configuration offers a Core i5 processor and 6GB of memory for decent performance in a variety of scenarios. The graphics card performs well especially for the base price, and overall the HP ENVY 17 is a solid buy.

The HP Envy 17 3D is a notebook with a lot going for it. We love the clean, minimalist design and full aluminum construction with its subtle floral dot matrix pattern that keeps the notebook interesting without being gaudy or attracting too many fingerprints. The 17.3-inch full HD screen is bright and full of color, with excellent viewing angles. 3D is sharp, with a clean stereoscopic effect and no ghosting issues.

Looking for power? HP has come up with the answer to the most demanding requirements with its Envy 17-inch. Powerful, well-finished and with a high contrast screen, the Envy 17 showed some promise. However its running temperature and poor audio performance mean we can only give it a four-star rating.

Media center laptops form an elite or premium category—we won't deny that the HP Envy 17 is pricey at $1,484.99, although it's more than a thousand dollars under Apple's MacBook Pro 17-inch. But in every respect from its keyboard to its performance to its Beats Audio, and most of all, its stunning screen, it's a hard laptop to resist, and an easy pick for our new Editors' Choice for media center portables.

The folks at HP like to call the ENVY 17 a "premium entertainment PC" and that's not a bad description of this sleek 17-inch notebook. The combination of a powerful Intel Core i7 processor, AMD Radeon graphics, 8GB of RAM and a 1080p display form the basis of a solid high-performance PC. But add the aluminum construction, backlit keyboard and amazing speakers with Beats audio and you've got breathtaking precision combined with performance.

The $1,484 HP Envy 17 deserves a standing ovation. In addition to a vibrant 17.3-inch 1080p display and superb audio, the notebook delivers a heady one-two punch in terms of performance and design. And just when you think it couldn't get any sweeter, HP throws in an Adobe software package and a Blu-ray DVD burner. While it won't satisfy hardcore gamers, the HP Envy 17 is a great choice for shoppers looking for a big-screen multimedia machine.

Even with its fairly dated design now, the HP Envy 17 has a bit more appeal since Apple has dropped its 17-inch MacBook Pro. While it still isn't the thinnest on the market, it is fairly compact for a 17-inch laptop but still packs a lot of performance regardless of what it might be used for. The peripheral connectivity has been greatly improved over past versions and the Radiance display offers one of the best pictures possible.

HP's Envy 17 is a big notebook that's suitable as a desktop replacement computer. It has a fourth-generation Intel Core i7 CPU, discrete NVIDIA graphics, and it can be used for almost any mainstream computing task. For the asking price, though, it could use better Wi-Fi, a touchscreen and some refinement in its build quality.

HP Envy 17-j110eg
Featuring a "wave of the future" input device, the Leap Motion sensor; the HP Envy 17-j110eg works hard to be the latest and greatest thing to buy. For those unfamiliar with the technology, the Leap Motion sensor will allow users to control the device with the use of their hand gestures. Located on the right palm rest, once activated it will recognize a hand hovering above it, and gestures can be used to navigate programs and apps. As should be expected, programs and apps will need to be made compatible with this input, but the technology doesn't work well enough to be anything more than a novelty at the moment. This 17 inch desktop replacement features a full HD, glossy touch TN panel that is scratch resistant as well, along with the usual old keyboard and touchpad inputs.
Weighing in at 3.359 kg, this isn't the most portable machine. With the Intel Core i7-4702MQ 2.2 GHz, it isn't the most powerful machine out there on the market, but it should be more than enough for most users. Demanding games, might require use of lower settings, but this machine is certainly capable of running these games. This machine manages to outlast most similar sized machines on battery life, though not by much. 3 hours and 30 minutes of typical WiFi and light to moderate tasks is possible. At the end of the day, the most compelling reason to purchase this device is for early adopters who like new technologies, and can't wait to use the Leap Motion sensor. For most other purposes, there are likely better options out there.

New ground. HP is the first manufacturer to equip its media-focused flagship with Leap Motion capability and a touchscreen, but is this worth the extra cost of 60 Euros (~$82)? Additionally, the internals of the laptop have been refreshed, including a Full HD touchscreen, an Nvidia GT 750M GPU and an i7-4702MQ CPU.

HP Envy 17t-j100 Leap Motion
The HP Envy 17t-j100 Leap Motion’s most interesting feature has to be its Leap Motion SE, which allow users to use hand motions to control the computer. It gives off a futuristic atmosphere and certainly looks cool when showing off to friends. That being said, the Leap Motion SE is not the only thing good about the HP Envy 17t-j100 Leap Motion. It does in fact come with pretty decent specifications.
The start it off, it is powered by an Intel Core i7-4702MQ quad core processor, which is a decent processor suitable for work such as video editing or object modeling. With 8 GB of RAM, running applications should be smooth as silk. The hard disk of the HP Envy Leap Motion is rather unique. It uses the traditional hard disk instead of SSD, which has a lower performance, but makes up for it with a tremendous amount of space available.
The display on this device is also noteworthy. The 17 inch display has a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixel, which goes very well with the BluRay player it comes equipped with. The Nvidia GeForce GT750M graphics card also helps to provide excellent viewing pleasure. Sadly, the screen is not a touch screen.
All in all, the HP Envy 17t-j100 Leap Motion is a laptop that offers a unique feature other laptops don’t have; the Leap Motion SE which is a cool feature and all, but at our present time, does not find that much use. Despite that, the overall specification of the laptop is good as well. It is priced a little higher than other laptops of its class at roughly 1540 US-$.

Full marks to HP for attempting to do something different with the new Envy 17. However, gesture-recognition is still in its infancy and there are few apps that currently use that technology in a way that grabs the imagination. The Envy 17 Leap Motion SE might appeal to a few niche markets at the moment, but at well over £1000 it will probably seem like an expensive luxury for ordinary home and business users.

HP's Envy line has had recent ups and downs, but it seems to have found its feet recently. Being (and looking like) a lower-cost alternative to a MacBook Pro-like machine is no bad thing – especially for people who want that kind of power without the cost. While the Leap Motion controller doesn't add much to the package, it's still not a bad machine overall anyway, especially in the oft-neglected 17-inch category. However, it's well worth looking at the HP Envy TouchSmart 15 if you are considering this laptop, because it's a lot cheaper for almost as much power.

Leap Motion’s gesture control technology sounds impressive but doesn’t deliver thanks to a lack of consistency and accuracy. Elsewhere, it’s a mixed bag: fast but hampered by high heat and noise levels, with middling battery life, a good keyboard, and a decent screen. Cheaper models without Leap Motion are good all-round desktop replacements, but specialised rivals are better suited to specific tasks.

The HP Envy 17 Leap Motion Edition satisfactorily fulfils its role as a multimedia laptop. It has enough computing power to handle everyday tasks and even run a few games, but the screen's picture quality is just incredibly poor and the Leap Motion Controller is basically a novelty item due to improvable ergonomics and virtually no dedicated software.

The HP ENVY 17t-j100 Leap Motion has a unique feature that sets it apart from other 17-inch laptops by including the 3D gesture interface controller. The problem is that this is still very gimmicky and should only attract those that really want or will use a software package compatible with it.

Buy this, because the performance is undeniable.

Hot and enduring. Long battery life is obviously appreciated, but does it benefit the task profile of the less than mobile 17-inch form factor in the case of the new notebook from HP? On the other hand, the multimedia aspects are pretty successful; the sound system in particular left a very good impression. The biggest issue is the very hot chassis temperatures.

There's no doubt about it: The HP Envy is a premium laptop. Thanks to its sleek aluminum design, brilliant 4K display, excellent audio and strong performance, the HP Envy 17 stands out in an already crowded market. While I prefer a firmer keyboard and a touch screen, those drawbacks are not enough to diminish the notebook's finer touches.

The Envy 17's zippy performance, metallic design, vibrant colors and rich audio make it a laptop that's worth considering. However, the low brightness, awkward grid pattern on the screen and weak keyboard really hold this machine back.

HP Envy 17-ae120nd
As desktop replacements are becoming more the purview of gamers and creative professionals, it is getting harder to find a 17-inch laptop for mainstream consumers. The HP Envy 17 is one of the few desktop replacements on the market with the everyday user in mind. The 17-inch Envy is an elegant desktop replacement with an aluminum chassis that matches the all-metal minimalism that Apple popularized several years back. Updated for 2017, the laptop chassis has seen some minor changes since we reviewed the previous version, including a slimmer, lighter chassis. The laptop is not small by any stretch of the imagination, measuring 41.66 x 28.19 x 2.34 cm (16.4 x 11.1 x 0.92 inch) and weighing 2.9 kg (6.4 lb). The Envy also boasts a lovely 17.3-inch 4K display that offers bright, vibrant color and crisp details. The panel produces an impressive 209 percent of the sRGB color gamut, which is much better than other desktop replacements that hover around 100 percent. Brightness is also top-notch, averaging 276 nits. The HP Envy 17-ae120nd also came with a 2.7-GHz Intel Core i7-8550U processor and 16 GB of RAM, with a 256 GB solid-state drive for the operating system and a 1 TB, 7,200-rpm hard disk drive for mass storage. The Envy 17 has a dedicated graphics card, but the Nvidia GeForce 940MX and 2 GB of VRAM it comes with will not do much for gaming. It's far better suited to non-gaming uses, like photo editing. A stylish speaker grille runs with a checkered triangle design across the top of the keyboard. The soundbar houses two Bang & Olufsen speakers, and they produced plenty of sound, which is enough to fill one of the smaller rooms. Using the included Bang & Olufsen Audio Control software, users can cycle through presets for music, movies, and dialogue, as well as adjust bass, treble, and audio quality levels. The Envy's integrated webcam is actually one of the nicer cameras on a laptop, with Full-HD resolution and a wider angle than most webcams. The result is a mostly clear image that captures more of surroundings. The camera caught details pretty well, and colors looked pretty accurate. The Envy also has an IR camera for simple, secure login using Windows Hello. The larger chassis provides plenty of room for ports and other features, including a tray-loading DVD drive on the right-hand side of the machine. It is joined by a single USB 3.0 port on the right. On the left, there is a Kensington lock slot, a compact RJ45 port for Gigabit Ethernet, a full-size HDMI port, two additional USB 3.0 ports (one with sleep and charge), a USB Type-C port with USB 3.1 support and an integrated SD card slot. An audio jack lets user plug in headphones or a headset. The Envy 17 is one of those rare 17-inch laptops for power users that is not ‘gaming’ focused. If you are interested in something in this category, the Envy 17 is a clear choice for you. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

HP Envy 17-ae143ng
The HP Envy 17-ae143ng MX150 is a 17.3-inch multimedia notebook equipped with a ULV quad-core processor. It is an all-rounder that scores points with good features, a stylish case, and long battery life. It is somewhat gaming-capable thanks to its dedicated GeForce GPU. The housing is made of aluminum and thus makes a comparatively high-quality, appealing and robust impression. It is well made with narrow and consistent gaps and no overhangs to be found anywhere. The display size of 17 inches makes it more suited to be used as a restricted mobile desktop replacement. Equipped with an Intel Core i5-8250U Kaby Lake Refresh CPU, the Envy offers mid-range ULV quad-core power made by Intel. In theory, it should be more than fast enough for most users. The operating system resides on a 128GB M.2-2280 SATA III SSD made by LiteOn, out of which 84 GB was user-accessible after first boot. In addition to the aforementioned SSD, the notebook is also equipped with a regular 1TB 7,200-RPM 2.5-inch hard disk drive. With plenty of hard drive storage, a user has all the room they need for movies, videos, music, and more. There is nothing to complain about regarding the system performance: A solid state disk and a powerful Core i5 processor ensure a smooth and fluid system. In addition to that, the built-in GeForce MX150 GPU supports DirectX 12 and achieves speeds of up to 1,532 MHz. The graphics core supports 2.048 MB of GDDR5 memory. The dedicated graphics core allows the enjoyment of computer games at low to medium settings.
The reflective 17.3-inch display of the Envy works with a native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. It features an IPS panel with wide viewing angles, which remains readable from all sides and directions. The brightness (329.6 cd/sqm) and contrast (1.135:1) are high enough to allow for outdoor usage. Unfortunately, HP installed a reflective display that will reflect environmental lighting. With Beats Audio, four speakers, and a dual drive subwoofer, it enhances the audio experience. You can furthermore watch DVD movies using the integrated optical drive or write own media on disks; you can sync, share, play, and enjoy photos, music, and videos across multiple devices with HP Connected apps. With two microphones and advanced noise reduction software, web chats appears quite clear. As far as the interfaces are concerned, HP's 17.3" counter is not surprising: All four USB ports (3x Type A, 1x Type C) operate on the USB-3.1-Gen-1 standard. A monitor can be connected via HDMI. The Wi-Fi module of the Envy houses a chip (Dual Band Wireless AC 7265) from Intel. The Envy 17 is one of few laptops with a 17-inch screen that caters to regular users - laptops of this size are usually made for gamers.

HP has updated its Envy 17 and equipped it with an up-to-date Intel Core Ultra 7 and an RTX 3050. But this hardware upgrade comes with a downgrade. One we find hard to accept. The display of this top-range device has been stripped of an important feature.
Comment
HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.
In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850:
The HD 5850 is a slower clocked HD 5870 and is reliant on fast GDDR5 memory to perform in the high-end segment. It is based on the Desktop HD 5770 chip but with a lower clock speed.
AMD Radeon HD 6850M: Essentially a renamed Mobility Radeon HD 5850 graphics card
AMD Radeon HD 6770M:

17.00: This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.51 kg:
With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
4.6 kg:
A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.
77.1%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
