HP Envy 14 Beats Edition (14-1195ea)

HP's Beat Edition Envy 14 is stylish and powerful 14.5in laptop and comes with snazzy headphones, but is it a good buy?

Quad-core Core i7, Stylish, classy design, Soft-touch lid and palm rests, Decent speakers, Good build quality

Overpriced, Dated specs and connectivity, No Blu-ray drive

HP Envy 14 review

There is no denying the style, power and features of the Envy 14

Incredible graphics performance ; Responsive, well laid out keyboard

Very poor trackpad design ; Screen can't do the graphics card justice

If you can live with the awkward quirks of its touchpad, there is no denying the style, power and features of the Envy 14.

HP Envy 14 review: An everyday laptop for everyone

HP's speedy everyday laptop is a great choice for pretty much anyone, whether for at-home use or when on the go. Here we review its pros and cons.

Attractive and portable design ; Speedy performance with minimal fan noise ; Good battery life ; Lots of ports ; Nice display

Webcam is bad ; No full-sized SD card port - microSD of limited use ; Could do with additional USB-C port ; Sound is a bit harsh

The one sense we’re left with after using the HP Envy 14 is that it’s just effortless. It lets you do what you need to do without getting in the way. It’s fast enough, the battery life is good, plus the keyboard is nice to type on. Not to mention that...

HP Envy 14 review

HP's Envy laptops were simply gorgeous when they first appeared a few years ago – they were among the only Windows-based machines capable of giving Apple a run for its money where it comes to design. Little has changed on the outside, but this latest...

A great high-end laptop with only a few flaws, but there are better-value competitors

HP Envy 14 Beats Edition review

HP's Envy range of laptops is undeniably stylish, thanks to their minimalist design and smooth lines. This special edition is the result of the company's collaboration with hip-hop mogul Dr Dre, and we think it looks even better than the vanilla model;...

It looks great and has solid performance, but we would expect the latest technology in a laptop that costs more than £1,000

HP Envy 14 Beats Edition review

Adding to HP's range of upmarket consumer notebooks is the Beats Edition of the HP Envy 14. It's a subtle facelift of the standard HP Envy 14 that we reviewed recently, adding a new paint finish, some Beats badges – and a pair of DJ headphones.

The HP Envy 14 Beats Edition is a solid enough 14.5in notebook, spruced up here to appeal to a younger audience. Yet we can't help feeling that Hewlett Packard is playing the trendy dad, not really understanding the youth generation so instead buying...

HP Envy 14 review

Last time we looked at HP's Envy laptops, we couldn't not mention how much they were modelled on Apple's MacBook Pro.

Available for a penny under a grand, the 14in Envy is priced more competitively than the £1500 of its 13in predecessor. That model has now been discounted to an appealing £849 or less. But in the HP Envy 14 you now get an integrated optical drive and...

HP Envy 14-1050ea review

A well-built, powerful and portable laptop. It's a little heavier than we'd like, but battery life is good

HP Envy 4-1010ea 14in Ultrabook review

HP made quite a fuss when it launched its Spectre Ultrabook back in May, and whilst we praised its gleaming, glass design we also noted that the Spectre was a bit on the porky side [1] for what was meant to be an ‘ultraportable' laptop. It was also...

This is one of those ‘glass half full’ situations. If you consider portability to be the be-all and end-all of an Ultrabook then the Envy 4 – like the Spectre – falls short when compared to its slimmer, lighter 13in rivals. On the other hand, it’s...
