On November 15, 2012, I wrote this review: Hadthe beastfor 24hours now and used it about 12 of them. LOVEall thevisualreal estateof the 17. 3inch display. Stilltrying to wrapmy mind aroundWindows 8. The keyboard is makingme crazy. The touch isso uneven. Size is great, almost asbig asmany desktop keyboards. But the keys all seem torequire different pressure. I am leaving all the spacebarerrors in place so you can see howthat just isn'tresponding totouch in anypredicatble manner (I am fixingmissingorduplicatelettersforreadability,butbeieveme,itcangetstrange).

Review about HP Envy dv7-7240us 17.3-Inch Laptop

I bought this computer to replace my old HP Pavilion dv7, works well, looks great, sound is bomb and it is a whole lot faster than my old computer. Only issue I have is that the LED light on the side that is on when you plug the power in, is waaaay too bright. So if you have this in the same room while you are sleeping plugged in it can be a problem though I just unplug when I sleep.
