13 of 14 people found the following review helpful Excellent computer, speed, looks, easy to use, By This review is from: HP Envy 4-1030us 14-Inch Ultrabook (Black) (Personal Computers) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) This computer is well designed, fast, and easy to use - an excellent choice for most people for use at home or school. It is an Ultrabook, which means it is Windows-based computer that is thin, reasonably light, and has an Intel chipset inside. The designation is owned by Intel so only Intel-based computers can be called Ultrabooks. The other large maker of chips, AMD, calls it's equivalent "Sleekbooks" and this model computer also comes in an AMD variation for a bit less money (and a bit less performance).This runs Windows 7 x64, which is an excellent operating system. I know there are major debates about operating systems, but I think we are fortunate to have several excellent ones from which to choose. Windows is my preference in my household and is on our 5 other computers. I won't go further into this because the operating system is largely independent of the computer hardware. If you don't have a strong preference, Windows will work great for you; if you do and...

This review is from: HP Envy 4-1030us 14-Inch Ultrabook (Black) (Personal Computers) The HP Envy 4-1030us Ultrabook is a fantastic machine! I ordered this because of the look, the thin and light design, and the amazing features. And it didn't disappoint!Pros: - This laptop looks amazing! I love the black and red scheme and the bottom really is fun to touch (and not too hot thanks to HP Cool Sense). - The keyboard and touch pad are fun to use! Typing is an absolute breeze and the gestures on the touch pad are incredibly intuitive and efficient. The back-lit keyboard can be turned on and off easily. - The battery life is phenomenal. - The screen looks great and is the perfect size for mobile performance. The screen resolution looks good at this size. - Incredibly fast start-up and shutdown times. General responsiveness is great. - The built in audio is about as good as it gets. External audio still sounds better (it always does), but the speakers do go a long way. - The CPU does well at balancing performance and...

This laptop has a lot for the price, but for all of the value it offers there are a few negatives that take away from the overall experience.The Good: * Looks great. Aluminum, thin, sturdy - built to last and look good at the same time. * Screen is bright, large. * Love the full size keyboard. I have large hands and some laptop keyboards are way too small. This feels great. * Nice "extras" - back-lit keyboard, easy access to buttons, great HD camera on the front, etc. * Easy, ready to use out of the box. Plug in and go. The Bad: * The speakers sound very average. This would not be that big of a deal - the are laptop speakers after all - but HP is featuring the speakers as a big plus of this computer. One of things I was really looking forward to, disappointed to say the least. Very hollow sound, not much better than the "tinny" sound that comes from most laptops. * Runs slower than... Read more |
