The laptop is built on a powerful platform and has no problem the vast majority of today’s most demanding tasks. Processor platform, memory and graphics – with these parameters in the notebook all the fun. From the already mentioned design features worth mentioning two batteries included, and an external optical drive (we tested did not get), I would have also noted that the card reader reads only two formats, a three-port USB (one of which is shared with eSATA) – this very-very minimum for this system, especially as external optical drive and there should be a single port.
By the way, the specification for some reason the wireless card is missing a standard Wi-Fi. In fact, she, of course, is installed.
Testing
Performance, test scores
Let’s see what level of performance, this model provides a configuration that we had on the test.
First, as usual, measure system performance in PCMark 05 packages and Vantage, 3Dmark06 (in parentheses the results of subtests SM2.0, HDR/SM3, CPU), Cinebench (benchmark 1 core / 2 core / work in OpenGL).
For comparison, we take a relatively long time already tested ASUS N81Vg. Let me remind you, it installed the processor from the old rulers R8700, 2 GB RAM DDR2, graphics core midrange NVIDIA GT120M.

Hmm … A comparison with the older, but also quite productive processor got interesting. The older PCMark05 test differences between the systems almost did not notice, but the newer Vantage – completely. In Cinebench picture too curious.One core clearly faster at R8700, which is not surprising – the processor runs at a much higher frequency. When you connect all four cores Core i7 R8700 devastating loses. And with hardware acceleration gap is not so great – only about four points.
Let’s see how things work in PCMark Vantage test by facility.

Very large gap observed in memory and in games, and I suspect the reason is everywhere the same – the use of DDR3 (the ASUS everywhere DDR2).
Finally, the HP Envy 15 we took the results of the test 3Dmark Vantage. Today’s game models have been fairly fast components show adequate results in this test.

Overall, the results are already quite high.
Also look at the test of Windows 7. This test is good in its simplicity: it can be used to compare the any system.

Estimates of Envy are very high in almost all disciplines, especially the memory subsystem is ahead. The weakest component was the hard drive.
The temperature regime
For this notebook instrumental tests are not removed.
Obviously, the performance notebook will get warm, and Envy – is no exception. In the case a lot of grids, so that it is blown all over, plus the apparently metal cover is used as a heat sink, because it is all uniformly warm, heated until about 32 degrees.In winter it is nice: a free service heating pads under your palms. But the hot summer or in a hot room all the way around: hot, sweaty palms, etc. The fan runs continuously, the rustle of air and hear the faint hum And always, night laptop noisy.But this noise is not annoying.
