HP 17.3" Envy

It comes with 1256 GB of hard drive storage installed, via 1 x 256 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD harddrive.

It contains a 2.8 to 4.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7-1165G7 (11th Gen) processor with 12 MB of L3 Cache.

With an 11th gen Intel CPU you can be assured that the laptop has a recent CPU. Whilst not the latest, due to the release of the Intel 12 Series CPUs, it is still recent. However, with the release of the 12th gen you may wish to choose that instead to ensure the longevity of your new laptop.

There's a Integrated graphics card which is a Intel Iris Xe.

An integrated card tends to not offer as much graphics processing power as a dedicated video card.

A brightness of 300 cd/m2, or nits, is available in the screen.

You'll find Wifi 6 inside the laptop, which is the current generation. This gives you a small step up in terms of future-proofing your tech, yet may not give you much of an advantage over wifi 5 unless your router and the rest of your setup is up to scratch.

With the latest standard of Bluetooth included, Bluetooth 5, you'll be set for a few more years of ensuring any new peripheral purchased is fully compatible.

It comes with 3 x USB Type-A (USB 3.1 / USB 3.2 Gen 1) ports, with 3 being more than enough Type-A ports for even advanced laptop users. Chances are, you won't need to use all 3 at the same time.

There's an option of using the Type-C USB ports, with 1 x USB 3.1 / USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Supports DisplayPort and Power Delivery) ports being offered too, allowing both the use of almost any current peripheral, but also adaptors & dongles allowing use of additional ports for the laptop.

With a backlit keyboard, you'll clearly see your keys and ensure minimal mistakes when you're typing what you need to type.

The numpad inclusion on the laptop ensures optimal access to number keys, so if that's what you're after then this laptop has it for you.

The option of the fingerprint reader gives you login & security flexibility, by allowing you to sign in to your laptop with just the tip of your finger.

Don't fret about your wired headphones though, the 3.5mm headphone jack will let you plug right in.

It comes in at a weight of 6.22 lb / 2.82 kg, and total dimensions of 15.71 x 10.2 x 0.76" / 39.9 x 25.9 x 1.93 cm.
