Editor's Note: Portions of this review were taken from our thinkpad X60S battery earlier review of the HP Envy 17.

Keyboard and Touchpad
The Envy 17 3D has a chiclet-style thinkpad x60 battery keyboard and number pad that stretch across the 16-inch chassis. On the Ten Thumbs Typing Test, we typed at a fast rate of 94 words per minute, even with little practice on the keyboard. In addition to the keyboard's backlighting, we like that the keys have thinkpad r60e battery a soft finish and make little noise when you type. We also appreciate that you don't have to press the Fn key to access media thinkpad r60 battery controls in the function row of keys.

The Envy 17 3D has a large 4.2 x 2.5-inch thinkpad t60p battery touchpad which doubles as a clickable button. Although we've given HP's touchpads much flack in the past for being either jumpy or having too much friction, the Envy 17 3D's was easier to use. Occasionally, the cursor jumped slightly--it's worse for those who thinkpad t60 battery use two hands--but for the most part we had little problem moving the cursor to specific spots on the screen. The integrated touch buttons thinkpad t61 battery were always easy to press.

Design
The Envy 17 3D shares the same minimalist-chic design thinkpad t500 battery as the smaller Envy 14, including a rock-solid taupe chassis made of aluminum and magnesium. A few touches, such as a paisley-esque pattern of raised bumps on the lid and palm rest and HP's glowing logo on the lid, mark this as a premium laptop. Thinkpad T410 Battery Between the machine's durable feel and details such as quiet keys (more on that later), the Envy 17 3D feels like thinkpad t400 battery a luxury laptop.

At 7.5 pounds, the Envy 17 3D is a thinkpad r61 battery reasonable weight for a notebook this size, but you likely won't carry it often (and then, you'll need the AC adapter, as you'll see in the battery section). With a maximum height of 1.5 inches, the Envy 17 3D also feels thick, especially compared to Apple's x200 battery 17-inch MacBook Pro, which is just 0.98 inches.

While the Envy 17 we reviewed in September stayed relatively cool, we noticed x300 battery much warmer temperatures on the Envy 17 3D. After playing a Hulu video at full screen for 15 minutes, the touchpad stayed a chilly 84 degrees Fahrenheit, r50e battery but the space between the G and H keys was a very warm 105 degrees, and the middle of the underside was 100 degrees.

When we watched Blu-rays on the Envy 17 3D, we were impressed by the level of detail. As promised, the display was r51e battery bright, too, and the colors were true. We were also able to watch movies comfortably from the sides and even with the lid pushed far forward, but that 3000 y410 battery required us to dim the lights; with the lights on, the display was too reflective to watch at wide angles. We also wish HP included skip buttons on the 3000 c200 battery keyboard; if you want to skip chapters in a DVD or Blu-ray, you have to use the touchpad and touch buttons.

The Envy 17 3D's speakers, which are tucked discreetly onto the front lip of the notebook, are powered by Beats audio technology. 3000 n200 battery When listening to music or playing games, we were impressed with the fidelity and power of the speakers. Not only were sounds crisp and 3000 n100 battery bright, but there was plenty of low-end bass, too. We liked that you can also tweak equalizer settings using the Beats audio control 3000 v200 battery panel.

The left side of the Envy 17 3D is the real trouble area. We can accept a fan that blows 120-degree air. But after we played 3000 v100 battery Call of Duty for 10 minutes, the left Shift and Caps Lock keys were a blazing 125 degrees. That's good battery disturbing.

Display and Sound
For the non-3D version of the Envy 17, HP offers a BrightView Infinity display, which has a Sony Laptop Battery 1600 x 900 resolution, standard viewing angles, and a 60-percent color gamut. However, the 3D comes with a higher-res Ultra BrightView Dell Laptop Battery Infinity display, which has 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution, wide viewing angles, a 72-percent color gamut, and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The notebook also packs ATI's Eyefinity multi-display technology, which lets users connect up to three external monitors, Lenovo/IBM Laptop Battery provided one is attached via mini DisplayPort.

Also new are sound tools like Dialog Enhancer, which increases the clarity of dialog spoken in HP/Compaq Laptop Battery movies and on television, and Dolby Digital Output, a tool that converts PC audio signals to Dolby digital signals for better hp compaq nx6125 battery room-level quality when a notebook is connected to a home theater system.
