awesome video...i had just had few other questions...ALot of reviews ive been reading about the samsung is that theres a sharp edge on the samsung near the palm rest and that it can even cut? is that true because there are tremndous amount of people who have said that and i wanted to know if there is and where would it be? I just cant put it to mind. Also does both of them have widi hotspot connection (for 4g mobile brand internet) built in them or not?

@JRFvids Our Chronos does not have a sharp edge that could cut you. It didn't even cause me any pain :). Neither model (in the US at any rate) has 3G or 4G.

@g1981c I guess you never saw our MacBook Air review.

I had a phobia of any gadgets falling down ): Mind if you could do a review on somewhere else broader instead of on a small cabinet, nice review btw

if the envy has the nicer screen, then why does the samsung look nicer?

YOU MY LADY!!! Are the damn best reviewer iv ever seen.... I mean just that you show us that keybord trampolin thingy just shows how mush effort you put into it and i realy like you show me befor i buy the laptop. But im a sucker for games and music soo it have to be the upgraded version of the hp envy 15 im gonna get. But if i havent seen that befor i buy it i probbably whould have gotten abit mad when i notice it my self (not mad at you only the produkt) so again thx for an awesome job lady.

THANK YOU FOR NICE REVIEW... DEFINITELY GOING FOR HP.

@mobiletechreview it seems the hp envy screen is dilted back thus making it look quite washed up.

I love your reviews. Just a quick question for value in the 1000$ + or - $300ish is it worth it to get a Samsung 7 if I'm only using this for portability, movies, and other basic uses (maybe some editing). I have a gaming desktop more than powerful enough for any game on my 1080p display so idk if it would be worth it to get such a powerful laptop. Should I go after a smaller laptop with less power and maybe cheaper? I don't want anything heavier/bigger than the series 7.
