I've had computer for about a week. So far everything run fine. Fast startups and shutdowns. Runs programs quickly. Nice keyboard and case. Screen is fine, but wish it had the upgraded screen, but most now are 1600 x 900. Runs cool and I never hear the fans or feel heat. I think Window 8 interface is a waste and I have added a shell program that brings back the old windows start menu and screen.

After many hours on the phone with both DSL provider and HP, the HP tech had me take the back of the laptop off. The wireless card did not have the antenna wires connected. The next step would have been to wait 2 days for them to send a return box, then wait up to 2 weeks for the repair. I returned it to Staples, bought a Toshiba and was up and running that night. Did I mention that everything that I tried to load on the HP gave me trouble? (MS Office, Photoshop Elements, Norton Internet Security)

      Staples set it up for me initially, then I did load additional software without incident.
      Keyboard mouse is very sensitive, but others I've tried have the same issue.
      Also WINDOWS8 takes a lot to get used to - I'm glad the screen doesn't have more than 4 corners.
      PS - I'm transitioning from XP.
      Tech staff is knowledgeable and friendly -- a big plus.

        Comments about HP ENVY dv7-7240us 17.3" Laptop:

        Here it is the best Hewlett Packard Envy dv7-7240us 17.3" Laptop. This computer is very easy to manage once you figure out Windows 8, which is awesome. I had a Hewlett Packard g72-b66us 17.3" Laptop from almost three years ago, that now my brother has at his house and that's running just as good as day one. The Envy is very fast and is great matched with the Norton Internet Security 60 day trial that it comes with. I recommend that you install after the 60 trial period, Norton 360 which is still on now my brother's HP g72 is even better and possibly faster. Finally if you're in the market for a brand new HP Envy Laptop buy this one. Enjoy!!!
