NOW AVAILABLE: ENVY 15-32XX Intel Ivy Bridge (AMD 7750M)

What was your original estimated ship date?

 

Mine hasn't shipped yet, but the status has been updated to "Order dropped to factory."

So hopefully mine should ship tomorrow, since I ordered mine only a couple of hours later than you it seems. \

EDIT: And I'm pretty sure that everybody's estimated ship date was June 12th. (I know at least that mine is!)

 

Already?? Wow that was really really quick. My other Envy that I need to cancel and ordered on May 26th is still in production...

 

nvm... i think thats my 3 year care pack LOL...... is there a page where u can see where ur laptop is?

 

Well this page: https://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/order_status_sign_in.do

Otherwise for FedEx tracking all you need to do is enter your order number (H122xxxxx) into this: https://www.fedexfreight.fedex.com/trackbyreference.jsp

 

Darn. You had to get me excited.

Well, at least I'll be on guard for when the send the extra AC adapter I got.

And there should be a link in the email HP sent you that says ">> My Order Status"

Click that and log in, and it should tell you.

 

Hello all, I'm in a bit of dilemma here. I'm trying to decide whether to go with the new Envy 15 or the Dvt6 quad edition. I'm sure most of you are quite familiar with the Envy line. So I'm wondering how the these two pale in comparison pros and cons etc. Wish that Envy 15 came in midnight black like the DVT6. Really sharp!!! Thanks all in advance.

 

Oh god. Here it goes again. My new order got declined

 

My order on Sunday did as well without any clear reason. The order said to call HP. I called HP twice. The first time to get an RMA for me DV7T and attempt to get an exchange for the Envy. No luck. Apparently you cannot exchange laptops ordered through an HP Preferred Account. So I completed the RMA request and asked her why my order got cancelled. She said there wasn't any reason stated but it could be because I didn't have enough credit available on my Preferred Account. I didn't have access to my account right then, so I gave up. The second time, I told the rep my situation and he placed the order again on his end and it went through just fine. No idea what was wrong in the first place since all indications showed I had plenty of credit even with the DV7T still on my balance.

 

I just called and they told me that my shipping address was rejected. However the rep had copied and pasted my shipping address from a past order that is still in production (i.e: Approved!) .... I just don't get HP !

 

Story of my life last night. After four goes I finally got it working with PayPal, they took my money and then declined the process...

I'm currently in Australia but moving to America so I wanted to a) have a laptop get shipped out just after I arrived and b) use the 33% coupon.

Looks like I'll miss out on the coupon by the time I get there (14th of June) and I cant afford the $1600 rrp

Thanks HP

 

Not to discourage you, but it took 9 orders (and Paypal won't work by experience) for my Envy 15t-3000 series to get approved. And now the rep had GUARANTEED that by cancelling my order and replacing it with the new 3200 series, my order would be approved.

HA. Big joke! I really hope the order will be "reinstated/reprocessed" like the rep at Sales and Support let me know. As of now the order still says "Declined" online... I wonder if it takes some time to update?

 

The status on the envy I ordered yesterday is now "dropped to factory". I'm excited!

 

Is it possible to remove the cd drive on this laptop? I never use cds and it's just added weight.

 

Is this the exact same keyboard, build quality, screen and trackpad as the previous envy? Thinking of getting either this or the samsung series 7 17" because I prefer a 15 inch notebook

 

yeah i believe so, only thing diff is ivy and 7750m.


on another note ima get my warranty total care thing a week b4 the laptop lol...... its dropped at factory right now

 

soooo i was doing some research on how much of a performance boost to expect from the 7750m compared to 6770m/7690m and this is how my math went:
the 7750m is clocked at 575 mhz and is an underclocked 7750 which is normally at 800 mhz (lets just ignore memory clocks shall we ? they arent that diff anyway). so 575/800=0.71875.

according to THIS:


the gpu score of the desktop 7750 is 2367. 2367*0.71875=1701.28125

according to THIS

the gpu score of the 7690m is 1200. so (1701.28-1200)/1200= 41.77% increase!

Yeah ik my math might be flawed since the core clocks and performance might not be directly proportional but I think its safe to say ~35 to 45% increase!

With an OC, hopefully (prolly not )we can bring it up to desktop 7750 speeds and get almost a 100% increase. that would be amazing . but still a decent overclock should put it around 50% increase in performance from previous gen. the 7850m should be even more, finally cards fit to be in premium machines

btw a that 3dmark11 score should put it right around the gtx 560m which is basically similar performance to gt 650m so the dv6 won't be too far ahead (if they actually are ahead...)

feel free to correct me if i was flawed somewhere

personal opinion, i think the 7750m will score higher than i predicted considering 100 mhz boost with the 7770m 3dmarkscore is 2110

 

I pulled the trigger on a Envy 15 with the 3610QM and 1080p radiance display. I've had a DV series laptop before and it's lasted over 4 years so far, but taken some series damage to the case, including both monitor hinges have to be jerry-rigged to get it to stay together. I'm hoping that paying ~$130 more than the DV6T for an Envy that has a 7750m instead of the 650m(which I think is better), no blu-ray and a monitor that struggles with red is worth it. I'm also hoping the orange/red issue isn't as glaring as some have suggested. Is the build quality of the Envy's significantly better than the current DV series? Would most of you agree that the above shortcomings + $130 more in price is worth going for the Envy? Thanks!

 

I don't get why HP didn't put the screen they used in the new DV6t Quad Editions into the Envy. From what I've read, that screen reproduces colors well, has good contrast, and has great viewing angles comparable to IPS.

 

Ok. If HP told me that they will reprocess my order, should I trust them? Or should I go ahead and create a new one? The status says Order Declined online, but two different reps assured me that it will be reprocessed.

 

HP rep told me that they will arrive by the 21st... That's a long time from now haha. I tried to change my delivery address but they told me the only way to do that is to cancel the order. I don't want to lose that coupon discount, does anybody know if that is still active?

 

I talked to HP for the same reason. I actually talked to them twice. Reprocessing was unsuccessful. They were not able to tell me why my original order was declined. The information on their screen did not say. The second time I called, the rep processed a new order while I was on the phone. We waited while the site processed the order. It was successful and he gave me the order number right then and there and also told me to expect email confirmation. A few minutes after the call I got the order update in my email.

If the order doesn't go through again, I'd suggest calling and having them place a new order.

My order has gone from Processing to Accepted to "dropped off to factory" (whatever that means) in the last 24 hours.

 

I'm assuming it means your order has been sent to the factory to be assembled.

I'm just hoping that manufacturing doesn't take long. I want mine to ship early. =D

 

dont we alll haha dont we all....

 

Thanks for the info. How did you find out that the reprocessing didnt work? Did they email you again?

 

They told me while I was on the phone. They said the order was declined but didn't know why. Their screens don't give them specific information. I ordered with an HP preferred account. The first rep told me it could be because I didn't have enough credit. I didn't have access to my account at the time so I just gave up.

After I got off the phone, I checked my HP account. It had more than enough to cover the new order and my previous one. So I called again.

 

How much did everyone ordered it for? specs?
looking for like best coupons for best deals...

when can i expect the old model price to drop? :/ it hasn't yet...

 

it will drop when this model has been out for a while.. and i think u might find better deals at other retailers since they will be wanting to get rid of their inventory of the old envys

 

I guess I'm some kind of criminal. HP declined my reprocessing and any further orders (so it seems) by a decision from their head office :O . These people make no sense. All I wanted was to exchange my order in progress with the newer processor. How can one be approved and the other denied by head office beats me! ?

 

What did you buy? 32xx i7, full hd? how much did you spent? if you dont mind me asking... I feel like im gonna buy it then find out someone used a coupon that made it a lot cheaper than i did...

I'm lookng at 32xx
i7-3610QM Processor (2.3 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache), 6GB, 750GB and 1080p... which would cost me about 1,600$ no coupons... looks like the 33% off has expired (

 

I ordered with just the 3610qm and 1080p upgrade for $1,071.99 before tax and recycling fees. I placed the order last night with the 33% off coupon. Check out this site for the coupons I used New HP Coupons for June, 33% Off ENVY and Pavilion Quad Edition Laptops. I actually FORGOT to put in the $75 off coupon so I'm not sure if it works. I'm too scared to reorder though.

Also, something strange happened when I was putting in the 33% off coupon. When I logged in with my hp account, the coupon was invalid. I opened up an incognito window and tried it without logging in and it worked, so I just created a new account. I think it's a glitch with their servers.

 

I ordered the exact same thing, 3610qm, 1080p radiance for 1071 + tax = ~$1154. Fatwallet has 5% cashback so I have ~$50 coming from that assuming they honor it. Didn't know about the $75 coupon though. oh well...

 

if u got a student acc with student discount it wont work... i had to create a new acc also

 

in my anxious state to order i forgot to do fatwallet

 

No need to reorder. The 33% discount won't stack with any other HP discounts. The 33% discount doesn't work along with any corporate/student HP accounts.

 

Oh wow so I logged out student account now coupon works 1071+ tax is really great I think I'm gonna get it... hmm fat wallet? how does that wrk I'll have to check it out..

do you guys think it will get any lower than this any time soon? back to school sale maybe?

 

usually 33% is the most savings u can get... maybe once in a while 35% is released but those are far and few inbetween

 

Ordered with the 2.6ghz quad core and 1080p radiance display. I was torn between this and the new MBPs coming out.

This isn't due to be shipped out til the 16th, so if I like the new MBPs, then Ill just cancel this order.

For 1270 after taxes (with maybe $60 back in Discover Cashback), then the macs will have to do something really great for me to spend an extra $600.

 

WOOOOO!!!!!

My order status now says "Order in production"!
Assembling a laptop can't take that long, can it? I mean, the process is most likely mostly automated, because robots are awesome. *hopeful look*

 

After reading all 84 pages in this thread and numerous other threads I decided to create an account and become part of the community. Placed an order last night with the 33% coupon, good thing I did because I'm hearing its expired (must have hit the 900 order limit).

Envy15
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• 3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM Processor (2.6 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache)
• 1GB Radeon(TM) HD 7750M GDDR5 Graphics [HDMI, VGA]
• 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 256GB (Solid State Drive Flash Module)
• 15.6-inch diagonal Radiance Full HD Infinity LED-backlit Display (1920 x 1080)
• SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support
• 720p HD video streaming webcam supports Skype
• Intel 2x2 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN + Bluetooth(R)

May have overdone it with the 16GB of RAM, and was tempted to go 12GB RAM and then i7-3820QM to get that 8MB L3 Cache.

If the screen issue drives me crazy I'll consider swapping it for a comparably spec'd HP Envy 17... One quick question, does anyone know first-hand or off-hand the comparison between the Envy 17 and Envy 17 3D display? I know the 3D is 120hz, but other than that is there a quality, color gamut, sharpness difference?

Only other laptop I considered was the Upcoming Dell XPS 15 L251X which should sport a very similar design to this and MBP and most likely a high quality screen (without the red orange issue). I've had two Dell's before this and I got fed up with the build quality of Dell (I am replacing a Studio XPS 1640 which is a beautiful laptop with the best TN screen I've ever witnessed using RGBLED but it is saddled by massive throttling issues due to overheating and cooling design flaws).

 

In the same boat as you. I wouldn't get too excited though-- I always try to expect that things will arrive late as opposed to early. That way if it shows up early it'll be great, and if it doesn't you won't be disappointed.

 

Intel 2x2 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN + Bluetooth(R)

What Intel card is that?

And I really hope the keyboard doesn't suck as much as the previous models. Still trying to find the Envy 15 at a local store but no one carries them.

 

Will this RAM work for the Envy 15?

Amazon.com: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800 Laptop Memory(CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9): Computers & Accessories

 

... if you ordered 6GB of ram from HP then envy should come with 1 4GB and 1 2GB -- in which case you're better off just swapping out the 2 GB for a 4 GB stick instead of buying the kit mentioned.

 

Wow, that's one very powerful laptop there ziled!!

I just ordered mine myself only change default to i7, and changed to 1080p.
Total of everything was $1,157... It says estimated shipping June 14? Man such a long time, I can't wait!!

 

Hey , a little help here please. Normally HP won't let you stack any coupon codes. I see you guys are talking about an additional $75 off. Did I miss something? Is this true? I just tried the 33% coupon & it still works -- can you add an extra $75 somehow?

 

Where did you order that?

When I changed it to i7 + 1080p it was about $1300


EDIT: I just flipped back a page before this, guess I had to sign out of my student hp account first for the coupon to work. weird lol

 

I'm wondering this too. I can only seem to get a coupon code at a time (using 33% one).

 

You cannot stack coupon codes. There was someone who thought he could, and then he got corrected. There is no additional $75 off, unless you want to skip on the 33% off.

 

Thanks for clearing this up.
