    I can't find any reviews of the HP Envy 17... have they not shipped out yet? I am looking for some user reviews and also some reviews on Cnet etc.

    This isn't much of a review but it says review. I skimmed and it seemed like mostly specs. Maybe you can find it usefull.

    I am waiting for a review from either NBR, Engadget or Notebookcheck...heck anyone will do! I am getting this if reviews are good and I see that it gives less issues than the G73jh...I know that nothing is perfect but I want to avoid as much trouble as possible...

    Why there is so much delay in envy 17 official reviews ?. I am NOT seeing even the new dv6t special edition reviews on the new .
    Based on this it looks like Envy 14 review will take very long time

    Regards

    When I get mine, I will test out TF2 and CSS and then post a review. I'm going to add an intel ssd to mine after I get it as well.

    Seems all professional reviewers are waiting for the early shipments to be over and wait for HP to address the early issues that may appear before they do a formal review...I guess this is fairly logical under the circumstances...
