Should I get this or a HP Pavillion dv7? Which one is better for General use, ( I like to listen to music) and I also like to play games on my computer, but I think both models can handle that. Any suggestions?

@monstaslaya for general use, yes. Check our site for the coupon code on it. it's pretty amazing deal.

I still continue to read comments about miserable overheating, even from may and june 2011. What was your test configuration and since around what time are you saying that heating is no longer an issue? I'm stuck as to whether to buy the 17 or 14 and heating is pretty much the only deciding factor.

@canon028 no heating issues with sandy bridge.

@xFightingFalcon the late 2011 version has 8 GB. im pretty sure. i checked on newegg and thats what it said.

[xFightingFalcon]

@macisdubomb I think the HP Envy 17 comes with 6GB of memory as the standard.

But still Envy 17 > MacBook Pro

[MrProTechHD]

The Major Problem with HP is they are using Low-Mid End AMD (ati) Video cards and here is another suprise The Hdmi Output uses Intel's Hd 3000 graphics This 1 thing that Hp does not disclose prior to purchasing

[macisdubomb]

MacBook pro 17" - $2500

Hp envy 17" - $1500

MacBook pro 17" comes with 4gb standard while envy now has 8 standard.

I guess everybody is too hipster to save $1000

I wish you had reviewed the PROPER Envy 17, not this cheaper one.

i love it except the gay pattern :(

@monstaslaya ... from tiger or newegg. another thing to watch out for is most companies try to screw you with 5400 speed Hard drives. You want a 7200 speed make sure it has one (they are fairly standard with dells) or if you are ok with small storage then get a SSD hard drive.

also google the term "laptop deals" one of first sites you will see is techbargains. It has tons of awesome discounts and gets new ones for every company daily.

In the end I got a Dell XPS 15z fully upgraded

[snapsalot]

@monstaslaya Besides the fact that most laptop companies only carry either ATI or Nvidia and rarely both, no not really. There is no difference between a I7-2640M in a HP laptop and a I7 in a dell or in a macbook, it is the exact same processor.

I have researched the newest laptops extensively over the past few weeks. A few things I notice are most laptop companies will charge you ridiculous amounts to upgrade RAM. You are almost always better off buying it yourself...
