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

Also, how's the fan noise under stress? I've been lurking here for quite awhile, and hopefully should have mine by Friday. I'll definitely post my thoughts after playing with it for awhile.

 

I'm going to run benchmarks when I go home for lunch. Not sure how many I'll get done since these programs do take a bit of time to install and run, but I'll for sure have them up tonight.

I got an Envy 17, so I'll be posting the numbers on that thread so I don't confuse people here.

 

My GT 650M scores 13900 in 3Dmark06 at 1280x768 and P2300 in 3D11 knowing that my Clevo deactivates cpu turbo while using the 650M so my cpu score is only 4200 in 3dmark06. Compared to yours at 5267 pts. So the 7750M is just below the 650M GT.

That being said, the 7750M has a 36W tdp while the 650M has a 45W tdp. Not to mention that the 7750M has lower stock clocks. Only 575 mhz compared to the permanent 835mhz turbo on the 650M. So we may think that the 7750M should be a better overclocker. Plus drivers improvements.

It seems to be a very solid gpu.

 

oo thanks for the input. im excited tp c how far I can push this little thing

-----

im thinking evilmonk fell asleep

 

my predictions were close it is a 48% boost so far

 

So I talked to another rep online today, and this time, I was told that though the order status page shows that estimated ship date was yesterday, if I didn't receive a delay order notice, then the order might possibly have shipped already.

It's really interesting what they come up with each time...

 

Not having a whole lot of luck monitoring temps:

GPU-Z hangs on startup
HwInfo says 224 degrees C for the GPU so thats clearly wrong.

Any other ideas?

Furmark starts at 45 C - after 2 min, holding at 60C, with fan on a quiet hum, not bad at all. At 5 minutes, it is exactly the same - 61C and minor fan noise. Definitely seems like some room to OC here. Top of PC is completely cool, bottom is a tiny bit warm, but fine. This is on a flat surface.

 

those are glitching cause the card is prolly not supported yet... the furmark seems like great news we got about 20-25C worth of OC capabilities.

could u possibly try OCing it? or just gaming benchmarks (in 1080p if u got it)

 

No way to do 1080p benches, sorry. Whats the best tool for OC'ing ATI these days?

N

 

try trixx or afterburner.


called hp that moron told me its still in production and will ship on june 12. I had to remind her its the 13th to which she said there is no updates and wait for an email

 

For those who received the laptop, how do the colors look (especially the dreaded orange/red). Thanks!!

 

there are 3 things i really want to know

1. how is 1080p screen compare to dv6t 7xxx
2. 7750 vs 650m (real games if possible)
3. temp around WASD and both palm rests.

 

Lmao would've been hilarious convo?
I would've somehow embarrass her >.<
Oh it's not just HP customer support these days are the dumbest people...

 

1) the screen has better angles etc. cause its ips but the problem is the color production which has been lessened by the tweaks.
2) the 650m is slightly faster at stock speeds due to greater tdp and turbo boosting abilities
3) temp is going to be cooler than the dv6

it was just awkward with slience as she figured out she was wrong. but seriously, this is rediculous how hp has no update on production -_-

 

Lol someone returned the dv6 just like me =)

I would argue with you on this one, the dv6 screen was amazing, and i am still expecting it to be better then the envy 15. The viewing angles were really good, i couldn't believe it wasn't an ips. It did have a red seems slightly orange issue, but it was very minimal, much less then any of the pictures that show a comparison of envy screens. And the best part about it was the fact that it was matted, or anti glare technically. But it wasn't to matted so that colors looked dim and it didn't have a grainy feel, but still stopped reflections. The only way to stop you from seeing whats on that screen was if you shined a like right on it.

 

I've yet to even call for an explanation as to why my Envy hasn't shipped yet. Honestly, I don't even want to hear the bs they try to use to justify the whole situation. We just have to wait it out and see.

 

haha thats prolly a better idea, everytime i call the more i get aggrivated

 

I just think it's kind of weird how ours haven't shipped yet and we ordered literally hours after the refresh was on the page. I'm sure they'll lose business if they don't prioritize customers in order.

 

I posted 3DMark 11 results for the Envy 17 in the other thread for those interested to see how the 7850m compares to the 660m and 650m.

 

So....I spoke to a rep via HP Chat and her supervisor said that there should be an update later on today. It seemed as though she really tried to find a solution so let's see what happens.

 

Thanks. Good benchmark info for the Envy 15 here.

 

Airlines do this all the time. So do drycleaners. It's unfair and it sucks. But it isn't like you and me are going to be able to do anything about it.

 

I posted this earlier today:

"Just got off the phone with customer service reagrding the order status. The guy actually managed to see that the machine was already built and packaged up and ready to ship. He says now its up to Fedex to pick it up and send me the tracking number.
This gives me at least some hope I guess.
Though I probably wont get it by this weekend, which was the only reason I got 2-day shipping..."

This guy actually said "I can see here that the machine has been built". Its wierd that the people you call can't even discern that much. Are you calling general tech support or who?

 

Ok so after evils review, i really think im gonna go for an envy, but my only problem is which on, 17 or 15. 17 has better specs, really not that big of a deal for me though, but also doesn't have the red orange issue, which i have mixed feelings about and better cooling.. Also a numberpad is nice. The problem is that is just really big i guess. Im going to college next year. Its not really the weight that's the issue but its just that its really big.

What do you guys think?

 

what does it say on ur order status? I called customer service for orders and yesterday chatted online. can u give me the number u called?

 

i think u would be better off with the 15, yes the 17 has better specs but most ppl say 15 in laptops are too big :|. Personally the screen doesnt affect me as much, the cooling should be fine, and numberpad i would like but it isnt a deal breaker. u gotta ask urself what you value more. btw remember the tiny desks in the lecture halls

 

What's more important is who you called. Now who gave you this specific info?

 

Order status still says in production. But he deintely said he can see its already built. he thinkds its just waiting for either FedEx to pick it up, or if it has been picked up, for them to login the tracking number into the system(granted, this is just what he thinks).

I called: 1(888)999-4747

 

yeah true, my rep said there was no way she could get anymore details for me

calling now

 

ya thats what i was thinking about too. Although i wont be going to alot of lecture halls in my college.

 

omg thats a god number haha. The guy actually knew what he was talking about (I think).He said my laptop was delayed cause they were out of stock on some parts (I forgot to ask what prolly the 1333mhz memory ) but it should ship within the next 36 hrs... as compensation its going to be either next day delivery or 2-3 days whatever is applicable (prolly gonna be 2-3 days). Was that so hard hp? Just let me know the status of my laptop >.>

yeah other desks too, its going to be bulky bring it along haha. Like i said its ur preference, I got htis envy 15 for college too just sayin. I prolly would have gone with an envy 14 if it was still alvailable

 

ya i think your right, i was just being nitpicky lol. Ok so 15 it is, now i gotta decide if the hybrid drive is worth it lol? anyone one know if its cooler then the 7200rpm hdd. I might buy an SSD later on, but it just puts me over budget atm.

 

bad news guys... Just got this in my email:

Notification of Ship Delay

Thank you for choosing HP. We understand you are anticipating receipt of your new HP ENVY 17 3D edition customizable Notebook PC and therefore are contacting you with an update on the build of your customized PC. Due to an unplanned delay in the production process, we will be unable to ship your customized order as originally planned.

We now expect to complete your order on or before a revised ship date of 6/26/2012 . At shipment, we will email you a shipping notification with your carrier tracking number. You can then track your shipment online to obtain the estimated delivery date.

...
-----------------------------

royally pi$$ed

 

if u plan on buying an ssd to replace the hdd soon (as in within 6 months) then just go with the default hdd, otherwise itw ill be a performance boost a bit and its not gonna be cooler (by much) that u will notice a difference. its basically a 72000hhd with a small ssd attached to it

 

damn it! mine is to the 18th+ shipping damn it damn it damn it

 

ya thats what i thought, hmmm idk how soon i can update it. I might go hybrid just to see the difference. O and id like to keep the photoshop and premier stuff, does hp give me like a licensed key for that so it can be installed on a new hd or no?

 

I'd be too. Just got off the phone with a customer service rep and he said that the laptop was ready to be shipped and would go to FedEX later today. Aparently it's supposed to get to me by Friday (how in the....?). That doesn't seem plausible, but what the hell, atleast the thing is built and ready to go (hopefully).

EDIT: GOD DAMMIT. Are you serious HP. Your Rep literally just flat out lied to me. My delay is for the 18th too Pakii. This is $@#@#@! $%##@!^%!

 

yeah they should

checkk ur email anyway they sent out the delay emails

 

The delay emails look like an automated thing that they send out once we've passed the estimated ship date. Maybe the reps we talked to were right and our laptops are going to ship tonight. The delay emails do say by the 18th or sooner.

 

Yup got a delay email as well. Balls.

 

I haven't gotten one yet. I'll die inside a little if mine is delayed.

 

haha lucky u my guy did say minew as delayed tho but it should ship within 36 hrs so if im lucky it ships tonight, customs tmrw, and with two day shipping in my hands by monday

 

This is ridiculous. I got delayed until the 27. I'm canceling my order. Completely unacceptable.

 

i think in that case u would be better off canceling and reordering

 

Afterburner is not letting me overclock the 7750M - stuck on 575 / 1000

Might try a newer Catalyst too - only using whatever HP installed.

N

 

trixx? yeah try the newer catalysts but make sure u got the hp one on system restore cause i heard hps dont go nicely with newer drivers

 

And the rep decided to insult me by giving me a 15% off coupon. Really?! Delayed for more than 2 weeks and that's all I get?

 

Trixx hangs on launch too Now I have to go get a bigger USB drive for the media recovery creation. Requires 18GB of space and the largest USB flash drive I have is 16GB

 

ask him to stack that on ur original order

 

silly question, but you did edit MSIAfterburner.cfg:

UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1

right???
