    Keyboard? Any way to fix the terrible hotkeys on left? I keep opening up web browsers killing games. Is there any way to change what those horrible keys are mapped to?

    Processor, why on battery won't it go over 1.2 ghz? I have minimum processor state changed to 100% and it still won't go over x9 multipler... i5 430m.

    you get used to the hotkeys actually (i hated them too, and still never use them). I also think there's a way to change the hotkeys for different functions, but can't be sure. as for processor throttling, its locked when on battery power. No way to unlock it at the moment. Its been said HP did this on purpose to help prevent battery issues. I was able to lock my cpu at x22 when plugged in, but i'm afraid to do it again until I learn more. hope you like your envy 15. if you want to upgrade your CPU, there are some good deals on i5's on ebay (QS or ES versions, just make sure its a reputable seller).
