Great battery lifeMatte displayLoads of connectivity in a thin profile
Flaky touchpadFit and finish leave something to be desiredNo 1080p display option
The Series 7 Chronos' matte screen, backlit keyboard and prodigious battery life make for a compelling package. But, a glitchy touchpad and middling build quality are holding it back....
Abstract: The HP Envy 15 (late 2011 model) we look at here looks distinctly Envy when closed. It has the curved edges on the lid, the straight metal sides and a Mac-like interior. The casing is made entirely of aluminum with some magnesium alloy. It has clean lines...
