HP Envy 14-2160se Review

HP ENVY 14-2160SE Beats Edition Notebook lets you experience music the way your favorite artists intended it. Hear the difference with superb playback that minimizes background noise and separates the crisp highs, distinct lows and subtle in-betweens. Turn up the volume without muddying the sound, thanks to Beats Audio software that maintains fidelity as the energy goes up.

Access the Beats Audio Console to customize your mix with a powerful, easy-to-use equalizer. To bump up the bass, just use a single keystroke (Fn + B). Best of all, this powerful 17.3" laptop includes all the basics you need to accomplish everyday tasks as well. It features a 2nd generation Intel Core i5-2430M processor with Intel Turbo Boost, 830GB hard drive, 6GB DDR3 and Radeon HD 6630 switchable graphics. It's all wrapped up in stylish and durable aluminum housing with a black finish and soft-touch surfaces threaded throughout.
