Overview

The HP Envy 17-j010us is a desktop-replacement laptop built around a generous 17.3-inch HD+ BrightView display that delivers a wide viewing area for spreadsheets, web browsing, and video playback. Powered by a 3rd-generation Intel Core i5-3230M processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.2 GHz, it handles everyday computing tasks including office applications, web browsing, and media streaming. The 8GB of installed memory supports smooth multitasking between open applications, and the 750GB hard drive provides plenty of room for documents, photos, music, and video files.

HP has equipped this model with several comfort and protection features. Beats Audio enhances the sound output from the built-in speakers, delivering richer bass and clearer audio for music and video. HP CoolSense technology monitors the laptop's temperature and adjusts cooling to keep the chassis comfortable during extended use, while HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection detects sudden motion and parks the drive heads to help prevent data loss from bumps or drops. The built-in SuperMulti DVD burner, Intel wireless with WiDi support for wireless display streaming, and Bluetooth connectivity round out a feature set designed for users who want a large, capable laptop for home entertainment and light professional work.
