    Struggling to find any reviews or information on this:

    HP ENVY dv6-7200ea Laptop with Deskjet 3000 printer - HP Store UK

    I think it looks a decent spec and there are some voucher codes floating about which bring the price down further.
    Seems equivalent machines from other brands are £800+ So what am I missing here ?

    Requirement is general use plus processing RAW image files from my camera, this is quite intensive so dedicated graphics, decent CPU and loads of RAM help. Need 1tb storage (more is always better), don't want a 17" screen so the machine can remain portable. Is this HP Envy a good pick ?

    Hello!

    Sorry this may be too late to be of use.

    I bought this laptop at the beginning of December.

    The specs seem almost to good to be true - high end i7, 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM - and it's pretty good to use too.

    Only issue I have come across is the touchpad sometimes freezes momentarily when it's doing looooottts of things at once - bu the keyboard or external mouse are not affected.

    sleek look, good weight...

    beats audio isn't really any better that my previous acer laptop (although it did have a fancy tube woofer which was pretty good...)

    If you have any other questions, happy to help!

    :)

    Im really interested in this laptop, only problem is the US model the "dv6t-7200" has a much better spec, 16gb RAM, hybrid drive, and blu-ray where as the UK version has half the ram a standard 1TB drive and no blu-ray, is it worth my buying it from the USA or is it likely to be available at a later date, or can i spec up the UK version to match the US?
