HP Envy 15-1060ea - 15.6in Laptop

HP gets that MacBook feeling with this Intel Core i7 equipped laptop.

Overall, from a purely aesthetic point of view, the Envy 15 treads the fine line between imitation and originality rather well. While the inspiration is there for all to see, HP has added enough of its own flare to give the Envy 15 a sense of...

It looks like the MacBook Pro, but performance doesn't quite match its rival

HP Envy 15 review

This £500 laptop looks the part, but is its premium mantra only skin deep?

Stylish aluminium body ; Good sound ; Enough power to run older games ; Fast wi-fi

Low-resolution screen ; Unimpressive battery life

Good looks for a budget laptop, but good looks aren’t everything.

HP Envy 15-1110ea review

The HP Envy 15-1110ea laptop is the Windows users' answer to the MacBook Pro.

The HP Envy 15-1110ea is a beautiful laptop which oozes quality and comes with plenty of stylish design touches. It's more powerful and better equipped than the more expensive Apple MacBook Pro that it imitates, but its quad-core processor could prove...

HP Envy 15 review

The smaller HP Envy 13 is an attractive 13in notebook, distinguished by thoughtful design and incredible battery life. But there's little new in terms of its essential components - unlike this larger HP Envy 15 which adds some spicy novelty with a...

There is potential for high performance in this laptop with its interesting processor, but there’s also enough niggles to make us cautious before making a recommendation. Given the high power demands of the CPU, this is still more of a desktop...

HP Envy 15 Review: Sitting at the Grown-Ups’ Table

The HP Envy 15 gets an excellent keyboard and a beautiful design in exchange for more weight and middling battery life.

Gorgeous OLED display ; Modern, clean design ; Excellent keyboard ; Innovative webcam shutter

Middling SSD speeds ; Heavier than competitors ; OLED screen drains the battery

The Envy 15 is a premium laptop at mid-range price, but it's heavier than competitors and the OLED screen eats batteris for breakfast.

HP Envy 15 (early 2012) review

The new HP Envy 15 is a fairly slick all-purpose laptop, if a little on the bulky side. It has lots of great wireless and wired connectivity options, fantastic audio, a very useful analogue volume dial, and a good keyboard. HP has two major issues to...

HP Envy 15

WHEN HP ACQUIRED the luxury high-end computer brand Voodoo in 2006, most pundits saw this as a Dell-Alienware relationship in the making although little fruit was initially born from the resulting deal

Quad core fast laptop, decent graphics, USB 3.0

Battery life, expensive for most peoples' tastes, awkward keyboard layout

The Envy 15 model the INQUIRER initially received came to us with some inherent problems, which took some time to resolve. The replacement notebook was a brand new version never been seen before in the UK, with some overall improvements to its...

HP Envy 15 - Strong multimedia laptop.

Last time we reviewed an Envy from HP we almost reached perfection, so this time we are of course pretty excited to see if the larger edition can match or outdo its ‘younger brother'. The HP Envy 15 is here, with a lot of powerful hardware like Intel's...

Powerful processor ; Beautiful design ; Weight ; Design ; Materials

Shortcut key UI affect on stability ; Ports on the right ; Less than optimal touchpad ; Glare display

After reviewing these Envy model from HP, you are left with a weird taste in your mouth, because this is really HP's chance to show competitors how to kick ass, but it just goes down the drain somewhere. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what the problem...
