HP Envy 17-2100ed

This is a review of the HP Envy 2100ED - 2/3 months in use - Exuberant with gaming and more - Extra mounted HDD - USB 3.0 tested using USB Stickjes I bought this HP because of a limited budget, but the following requirements: Graphics gaming and more that can be Ample storage BD Player 17 "1080P display my choice to buy this laptop'm mostly been brought up because I've had such not normally switch to energy saving graphics for the ATI graphics. several years ago with Acer much shit I also was not to talk about the help desk that company. hence the choice to go (HP). for a more expensive brand So far I'm pretty positive about the brand. After purchasing the laptop, I noticed that the laptop has a 2nd hand copy was accompanied by damage to the touchpad and keyboard. Having to contact the store contact I received a new one. What am laptop use: - BTF3 - GTA IV - FM12 - Movies - Download He gets so used primarily for reasonable new games, and watching movies (via HDMI to the TV). Accessories Outer Box containing specs (Photo 1) Inner Box (looks nice) Suede Sleeve for Laptop HP CD Net Cord Battery Guide Battlefield 3 settings on medium, 4x AA Framerate on Gulf of Oman (32v32) 35/45 with occasional drop from a few seconds to 15 So here I was sometimes, settings can still be tweaked, but have no need to. Framerate is with me all significally installed higher than the original drivers (May 2011). With a little googling, it is possible to download the new CCC panel & drivers and install. Its not digitally supported, but works well here! GTA IV This is all on high, view distance and detail 50. Frames will be around 40/50 Play this game only connected to the TV, Xbox 360 controller in combination with HDMI Very easy, cable in, press button> laptop image from TV Is perhaps obvious, but a few other overlapping caps that I used was really a disaster Temperature Word at table also warm when gaming Tap sometimes 90 degrees Celsius in with intensive BTF3 use. Using HP CoolSense (sort of fan controller) caused me crashes and poorer cooling. Laptop is completely clean on the inside. Network Has an Intel ® Centrino ® Advanced-N 6200, and in combination with my KPN Experia Box v8 and 100Mbit Fiberglass is possible via a 144Mbps wireless connection with very reasonable range (at to download. neighbor in flat 3 bars at 144Mbps) Get via speedtest.net on Wireless 80Mbps download and upload 60MBps. On PC is 90 to 90. So there is some data loss, but this is not of great importance. Beats This laptop has the beats system. therefore sit in a subwoofertje, what kind FUNCTIONEERD. noise is also much better than that of an average laptop. Can also select presets with the beats program, specifically for listening to music. Bluray The bluray disk works fine, has a button right on the keyboard (see photo). It has the styling of an Apple DVD player, all finished without any button. suck your disk in it, and spits it back out. Display the down side of the display is that it really reflected, but luckily the brightness up high enough to still not be able to see anything. in full sun with the naked eye, he does not yield to my normal LED monitor which I now this review typ. Been there So very pleased. Graphics As mentioned earlier, it is a pity the poor driver support from HP. 's newest driver that their offer is already a year old. With a bit of googling there is a good driver to get. ATI HD6850M 1GB He FUNCTIONEERD well, I hardly use the power saving GPU. Ben talk about the gaming preformance there. Medium on BTF3 looks namely still sooooo nice! Also in other games he can, and he makes me already 2 months of gameplay! Accu course depending on the power settings, but FM12 use high preformance and the ATI GPU (6850M 1GB) take about 1.5 hours on a full charge. The battery is under the HP Assistant is 100% in good condition, so probably will I tell here what updates. If I put the laptop power saving, I think I can play computer games. just about 10 minutes longer Probably this is due to the constant gebruiiken my SSD (slot 1) and the original HDD (slot 2). The reduction in performance is so great that I never choose this setting. FM12 example if I play it takes nearly five minutes to play in front of the normal 1 to 2 minutes a game. commented on just this game uses almost no GPU, so this is only due to the very limited power supply due to Power Saving. On my old laptop (a Core2Extreme X7900 did) he performed considerably longer under power saving than this. Nevertheless, I am talking about the battery, shame that the power settings are very bad HP.
