    Unsure about this 14" HP Envy laptop (J4L59AV)... Too good to be true?

    I found this 14" laptop:

    HP ENVY - 14t | HP® Official Store

    GTX 850M (Most likely has DDR3 because it has 4GB of VRAM), i7-4510U, 1080p screen, and 48 Whr battery. Applying BONUS20 coupon at the purchase page lowered the price from $1000 to $800.

    But what worries me is that not only there are no reviews for this laptop, but this discussion thread from last month indicates HP might've cut some corners: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-envy-hdx/753986-hp-envy-15-k000-2014-new-model-2.html

    I also don't know the battery life when running WiFi or its overall build quality.


    The BONUS20 coupon expires on 7/26.

    Also, anyone familiar with HP's return policy for opened and unopened packages?

    Yeah, looks fantastic. Build quality obviously won't be there. I'm interested in the weight (pity it comes with a DVD burner). What's the battery life like and is the panel IPS or what??? Shame the 20% off ends today. Anyone know any finer details?

    I was going to buy the Acer V7-428 but only has the gt 750m, big difference going to the 850m but sacrificing that beautiful IPS, sound battery life and probably weight

    Just buy it, HP gives 21 day full return policy no questions asked even if you just dont want it, and they even pay for return shipping. Seems like a good deal.
