    I am about to buy a Envy 17.

    Now I would like to know if anybody could give me some advice.

    The 3010eg ships with two 750 GB hard disks whereas the 3000eg ships with one 750 and one SSD.

    The 3010 costs around 1400 and the 3000 costs around 1600.

    What should i do!? Is it wise to spend that 200 euro difference on a probably better ssd disk myself and just install it myself!?

    I also heard the rumor that in the 3000eg the laptop has a ssd but windows 7 is actually installed on the 750gb disk!? Isnt that........

    And another rumor i heard is that your laptop starts to get problems if you have to do a reinstall with your own copy of windows because some drivers might just not be on there then.

    Maybe anyone has any advice to my questions!

    I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you all for your time

    All the best

    Chris
