In the past, HP Envy laptops had a reputation for running hot, which shortens their life, increases the risk of short term failure, and causes the CPU protection circuitry to slow the processing speed. I don’t know about this particular model, but if I was considering purchasing one, I would look up online reviews about it.
Despite some good information, this review reminds me of an old adage, “All the world’s a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.” ― Seán O’Casey
I own an older Envy 17 with an i7 and a 17.3" 1080p display. It runs hot if I am using the Radeon graphics. It’s fine if I switch to the onboard Intel graphics chipset.
I was going to replace it, but it’s in nearly perfect shape because it was rebuilt (more like replaced based on the gigantic listing of parts) under HP’s accidental damage warranty. I was travelling and the TSA must have dropped it when the opened my luggage for inspection.
I don’t know that I’d buy another one unless they’ve greatly improved the temperature situation.
