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.

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)

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

    Researched laptops for weeks before I decided on the Envy. Easy to set up, I was up and running in minutes. I was worried about using Windows 8, but if you are even remotely computer savvy, it will be no problem to navigate. The only thing I don't like so far is the battery life seems to be around 3 hours.

        I have been quite pleased with the performance of the HP Envy laptop. I love the big screen and the 10-key pad. I'm still adjusting to Windows 8, but having a superior computer is making it easier. It's a pleasure to use.

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

          Absolutely love this laptop!! It definately does everything it claims! I am very impressed by how quiet and fast it is, but my favorite feature is the fact that you can lock the mousepad!! No more extra letters in words, jumping back to the beginning or deleting what I had written. So nice to reply to an e-mail without losing what I had worked so hard to type up.
          The most surprising thing to me was using Windows 8. I did my research before going to buy, and nearly all reviews said Windows 8 was difficult to use or get used to. I found Windows 8 quite easy to use and even figure out on my own. And there are plenty of tutorials available within the program, in book form, and online.

            The machine and hardware are great. Prepare yourself for upgrading programs to W8. 98% of my programs work but certain features don't. Upgrades/fixes are out there but you must set aside time to find and research the upgrades and fixes OR just spend the money and buy the latest programs (that will cost more than the machine).
            I paid (a fair price) to have the programs transferred from my old laptop) but you still have to spend hours filling in program keys and getting rid of requests to register the programs.

            Windows 8 is quite a different operating system from Window 7, and it is hard for me to do much with it, but I have just had it about two weeks and believe I will really get more out of it when I learn to operate it.
