Performance and graphics The HP Envy's a fairly potent rig, as you might expect: with a dual-core 2.4GHz Intel Core i5-2430M processor, 6GB of DDR3-1333 memory, and Radeon HD 7690M graphics with 1GB of VRAM, even the $1,099 starting config is capable of great things. I fired up two 1080p iTunes trailers simultaneously, along with active Pandora and Gmail accounts and nearly a dozen other Chrome tabs Wpower MID706, and didn't notice so much as a hint of stutter from either video. (The third simultaneous 1080p video did the trick, though.) It's got a few extras, too: while you'll have to pay extra for a quad-core processor or solid state storage, dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi A8 Android 2.2, Bluetooth, Intel's Wireless Display tech, and HP's infrared HD webcam come standard. What's more, for a machine with magnetic storage, the Envy boots fairly quickly from its 500GB, 7200RPM hard drive, making it to the Windows desktop in under 40 seconds and fully loading startup programs in just over a minute.
