HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j109TX (F6C57PA) Laptop (Core i7 4th Gen/8 GB/1 TB/Windows 8 1/2 GB)

The specs are good ... This machine is a real powerhouse , The 1080p screen rocks but due to the gloss finish of the screen it catches fingerprints easily... Thanks to i7 4th generation the boot time is 3 seconds ... Runs all IDE's and the heaviest compiling without a hiccup Graphic card is some what mid-end it's the GT series with a DDR3 Bus rather than the new GDDR5... Graphics performance is decent but not top notch ... If you're into gaming go for an Alienware or an Asus Build Quality is good except that the keyboard has a little flex near the arrow keys and the back has a flex near the HP logo... Cooling is very good though the fan is real noisy but it will do a great job at keeping the heat away from the main area thanks to HP coolsense.. The SSHD gives it a nice performance boost. Overall a great machine and I am really satisfied with my decision.. AGAIN if into pure gaming go for a GT-750 M or a GTX series graphic card.. If mild gaming is your pick , this laptop is great (minecraft runs at 1080P with full resolution and full graphics at ~150fps)

Flipkart (wsretail) had a good offer. Got the laptop at a very good price of 79k. The laptop bag freebie is not mentioned here but is delivered along with the laptop. writing this review after 3 weeks of use. Pros: 1. great looker. the aluminum silver finish is classy. 2. speakers are of excellent quality and very loud. you'll never need to use more than 50% of the volume. 3. Finger print reader is a charm to use. very helpful for quick login with just one swipe of the finger. 4. computing powerhouse i7 quad core( most dells in same price band come with i7 dual core). 5. 8gb ssd is a good thing to have along with the 1tb hdd. 6. backlit keyboard,touch screen, usb ports are space well to allow 4 simultaneous connections. 7. laptop temp is maintained well and not very noisy either. 8. comes with hp drive guard which detects thru accelerometer if the laptop is falling and stalls the hard drive. cons/issues: 1. the ctrl and windows keys on my keyboard had partially come out, needed a hard press to slot them correctly inside. guess this is a one off problem. 2. the arrow keys are unlike the traditional layout. the up and down keys are reduced half in size and made to fit into a single keyblock. quite cumbersome to use when u want to directly reach the up or down key. gamers will find it tough too. 3. the default behavior of the function keys f1 to f12 is reversed. eg: pressing f5 will not refresh the page, you'll need to do fn+f5. this can be disabled in the bios though, so not a problem. 4. the screen doesn't bend backwards fully. i.e. when closed it is 0 degrees. when fully open it's about 110degrees( not close to 180 deg). this is a con if ur usage requires you to be able to do this. 5. the touchpad buttons are not separate buttons, instead are part of the touchpad so if u try using the laptop without a mouse with a finger on the touchpad buttons it'll be a issue because the touching of the button is taken as an input for the click.
