    I would put this in the owners lounge but 1) I don't have an Envy 15, and 2) it would get lost pretty quick in there. I am reading about various people being dissatisfied with the Envy 15 for different reasons but, here is what I want to know. Can someone post some benchmarks and HWmonitor and GPUz screen caps from their unit, and has any one done a real in-depth review yet. Also, what make are the HDDs (yeah I know HP can and does use whatever they want but, I would just like to know what brand most people are seeing) and what is the make/speed of the DDR3 RAM they are using. I am considering an Envy 15 (I have heard some bad things but ........) and I would just really like to know these things. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

    HDD: ST9500420AS
    RAM: Micron 16JSF25664HZ-1G4F1 (DDR3 1333)
    GPU-Z does not see most any of the data correctly yet.

    I love the laptop so far. It runs a little hot, about 48C on idle. In the next few days I will crack it open and fix it up with some AS5 which is sure to lower the temps a bit.

    Note, there is only one drive in the machine. Screenshots of some of that stuff on first page of the owners thread. Hard drive model number should be in the temperature shots since HWmonitor picked it up.
