First, didn't get this on Amazon. The Envy has been a wish list item for me for quite a while but way out of my low end price range. Until Groupon offered refurbished dv 7 7333 for my kind of price. I've had it a little over a month now and it's my favorite computer ever.
Like many, I'm on a slow learning curve with Windows 8. Some things I've figured out easily, others I'm waiting till I feel like looking through the Kindle book about 8 that I downloaded a while back.
Love the keyboard -I typed 120 wpm on old-fashioned Selectric typewriters and I struggle with all computer keyboards because you just can't go that fast. But this keyboard has a nice feel and I do better with it than with most.
It's fast and everything that I've tried works well. Haven't gotten into streaming so far so that remains to be seen. Videos show up nicely although in full screen with such a large screen sometimes they're a little blurry here even though they're clear on my tablet.
I'm not crazy about the "mouse" on any laptop so I've connected a separate one -but I've found the one on board easier to use than others I've tried.
I mainly use the computer for word processing, and browsing/e-mail stuff so this is probably more fire power than I need but everything just works better on this than on my many old computers (my first was a 1987 no-hard-drive Mac) and I love it.
