HP ENVY 14-2070NR Review

HP ENVY 14-2070NR Beats Edition 14.5" Notebook Computer from Hewlett-Packard is a thin and light 14.5" notebook computer, designed with energy-efficient operation, performance, and style in mind. The computer features an 8-cell battery for extended cord-free operation. Weighing only 5.5 pounds and measuring only slightly more than an inch thick when closed, the computer delivers dual-core performance without weighing you down. The Envy's aesthetics are enhanced via the soft surfaces that are threaded throughout its body.

Sound is provided by the Beats audio system, which has been tuned by audio engineers to produce some of the finest audio possible in a notebook PC. HP recommends Beats Studio Headphones by Dr. Dre for the finest listening experience.

For those times when you'd like to watch content on a larger screen, the ENVY supports Intel's Wireless Display technology, which allows you to connect to an HDTV wirelessly. You'll need the optional Netgear Push2TV accessory to utilize this technology. For wired connectivity to an HDTV, the notebook features an HDMI output.

The system's 14.5" display features a LED backlight for superior image quality and reduced energy consumption. The display features a 1366 x 768 native resolution that is fully capable of displaying 720p HD video. The integrated webcam -- located in the top bezel of the display -- allows you to chat online.

The system is powered by a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5-2410M CPU, which can be overclocked to 2.9GHz thanks to Intel Turbo Boost. It boasts 6GB of RAM, a 160GB SSD storage drive, a slot-loading SuperMulti DVD burner, Bluetooth, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, and AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) is the installed operating system.
Whether you're into rap, rock, dance, or pop, the HP ENVY Beats Edition 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. Show-Stopping Design
Custom Beats wallpapers complete the ultra-cool look.
