The computer is very fast and it's taken a little bit to get used to since I am going from a Windows 7 to a Windows 8. I haven't figured out how to put Microsoft on the desktop (or any icon on to the desktop) but I am sure I will figure that out sooner or later. The sound on this is great (especially compared to my old Acer computer) and I find myself only having it halfway and it's still a little loud for my taste! I didn't have any trouble setting up wireless or Microsoft Defender (the Windows 8 version of Microsoft Essentials) but Norton did get in the way from setting it up at first. There are a lot of available apps that you can put on the front screen, a lot of them being free!!
I found it strange that all of the function keys are opposite from what I am used to; for example: before I would press F5 and the page would refresh, but now I have to press FN F5 for it to refresh and the other function (the backlit keyboard on and off) is the first function. I hope that makes sense!
The keyboard is easy to type on, and the letters aren't having any problem with sticking. They are soft in a way and it's very comfortable.
I set up my computer so that when I unlock it, I have to swipe my finger on the scanner and I haven't had any problems with that either. It's kind of fun having such a personal computer!
I would suggest this product for someone else.

Cons:I have owned many HP laptops in my day. It just ends up happening. I do not like that they put in a bunch of HP software that I never use and perpetually gets in my way. Also, the first unit I purchased had some weird glitch where every 65 second the DVD drive would pop open. However, now that I have a working one I like it so much I felt the need to review it. Also, this computer is trying really hard to be an Apple product. It's silver shell and black back lit keyboard echo that of a Macbook. However, it is light and feels like a cheaper version of the apple product. Finally, there is a movement to change the design of the arrow keys so that left and right buttons are full sized but up and down buttons are half sized. I use these buttons all the time and the half sized buttons are annoying.
So enough of the negatives. What are the things that make this a four star product?
1. It is a cheaper product. It costs over 50% less than an apple product. I love the price. And I think for what is paid the laptop offers a lot.
2. Backlit keyboard. It is a perk I have been waiting for. they seems to usually be reserved for ultrabooks. It is nice to see the price point drop on this feature.
3. I am not much of a computer "guts" kind of guy. I just want the computer to do what I want it to. I do not need to know all the inside stuff. I do know that the audio quality is good and I am able to run my PC games well on it without issue. I have heard reviews saying the screen is cheap but I have no complaints. It is higher quality than the laptop it replaced and for that i am grateful. I do not think the average user will feel cheated when it comes to the display quality.
Overall, I just like it. It works well and I feel comfortable using it.
Honest reviews on HP ENVY m6-1125dx 15.6" Laptop - 3rd Gen. Intel-Core i5-3210M 8GB
I bought this laptop on sale at Best Buy about six months ago. My old desktop PC was dying, and I decided to go with a single computer for both home use and travel. The HP Envy M6 had the specs I wanted, and even though I didn't want Windows 8, I'm learning to use it. So far, it's been a great computer, except for one serious problem the screen failed after only a few weeks. Since the laptop was still under warranty, I took it to Best Buy, and they returned it to HP. The repairs were made, and the laptop was returned to me eight days later, which is pretty good service.I like most of the features of the laptop, but the one that stands out most is the backlit keyboard. My eyesight isn't the best, but the backlighting makes the keys very visible, so much so that I don't know how I ever got along without this feature. The USB 3.0 ports are great, and I've replaced some of my older USB 2.0 devices to take advantage of the greater speed of USB 3.0. My wife has an older HP laptop that lacks the backlit keys and USB 3.0, so I know how handy both of those features are.
I'm running MS Office 2007, Google Chrome, and other miscellaneous software with no problems. The laptop boots very quickly, and I have to thank HP for not loading it up with crapware like some manufacturers do. The Beats Audio has good sound for a laptop, but I usually use earbuds when I'm listening to music. Weighing just over five pounds, the laptop isn't much of a burden for traveling, and the case seems sturdy enough.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the HP Envy M6 laptop. It has the computing power and speed of many desktops, and I'm enjoying using it as my primary computer.
