Chassis, connections, screen of the HP Envy 17-da0015nf

With its slim Glacier Silver design that can be recharged to 50% in 30 minutes, this laptop has a sober and elegant appearance.

This multimedia-oriented laptop PC offers good connectivity with its USB-C Thunderbolt 4, its Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, its useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its audio port or its 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) providing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it.

Some will appreciate being able to authenticate biometrically by facial recognition using the Infrared functionality of the webcam and Windows Hello technology.

Those most concerned about their privacy will appreciate being able to hide the webcam behind a privacy shutter when they are not using it.

The chiclet keyboard has a backlighting solution for the keys that you simply activate whenever you need to better distinguish them.

The screen displays sRGB colors that are more faithful than average as well as significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology.
The Full HD screen has a brilliant treatment due to its touch technology through which you can interact with the system and software by simply applying at least one finger on it, using gestures/pressures. On the other hand, this laptop cannot be transformed into a tablet since it does not open 360°.
The gloss gives punch to the colors but implies a sensitivity to reflections present in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
Furthermore, the screen lends itself well to displaying videos with its 16:9 format.

Performance, autonomy of the HP Envy 17-da0015nf

The HP Envy 17-da0015nf is aimed at those looking for a portable 17-inch multimedia-oriented laptop PC.

It will interest nomads like some wishing to have a Student laptop end of large format performance in terms of multimedia-oriented processor, as long as finesse does not represent an essential criterion. Because its autonomy is around 9 hours on battery in light use.

However, this laptop delivers solid general performance that will delight as many users as possible.
Because it is driven by a Core Ultra 5 125H processor Meteor Lake with 14 hybrid cores, integrated Intel Arc graphics module and AI services. Especially since this Core Ultra 5 is coupled with a large amount of 32 GB of RAM – twice the average – to clearly see what's coming in this area.

The potential of these components is revealed in areas requiring CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multi-cores and AI, such as photo editing or video editing. Under this type of work, processing is carried out more quickly than if we were dealing with a classic Quad/Hexa Core and 16 GB DDR4/5.

While demanding gamers will deplore the absence of a dedicated graphics card, the Intel Arc, whose performance is superior to that of the classic Iris Xe, still allows you to play light to modest games.
But also of course to watch photos and HD videos.

On the storage side we obviously find a silent, energy-efficient, robust and above all fast SSD. This velocity reinforces the responsiveness and fluidity of this laptop on a daily basis, which guarantees rapid starts/stops as well as processing, application launches but also arrival on the online game cards.

HP opts here for a standard solution in terms of capacity: a 512 GB SSD.
However, if you need more space, you can use an external storage module. To benefit from fast transfers, you should preferably opt for a USB 3.0/USB-C/Thunderbolt type device.

Finally, when pushed hard (e.g. treatments) expect this elegant multimedia-oriented multipurpose laptop to heat up and make itself heard.
If necessary to contain its temperatures, we can add a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
