The HP Envy TouchSmart m7-k111dx is an entertainment-oriented big-screen touch-enabled 17.3-inch laptop with Full HD resolution, a higher-end processor, and dedicated video card.

Although some Envy m7 configurations come with the top-tier Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, the m7-k111dx ships with a much slower dual-core i7 variant. However, the included i7-4510U is still a very capable CPU, which is good for advanced video and photo editing stuff alongside daily web, office and multimedia playback tasks. To beef up the specs, HP has added the Nvidia GeForce GT 840M 2GB DDR3 video card to the mix, offering a lower-mid-range gaming potential to the system. 12GB of RAM memory is an overkill for this kind of laptop, while the hard drive is also big, with a capacity of 1 Terabyte. The notebook has a built-in optical drive supporting DVD and CD media.

As for the screen, it has a high resolution of 1920×1080 pixels and touchscreen support, but wide viewing angles are not that great since the panel relies on TN technology instead of IPS.

For sound reproduction, the laptop utilizes stereo speakers accompanied by a subwoofer for better bass.

The keyboard sports backlight and a dedicated numeric pad. The ControlZone trackpad provides a big surface and support for more multi-touch gestures than the classic touchpad.

The input devices are embedded in a sleek looking keyboard deck with a silver-colored finish. The display lid is done-up in the same material. The chassis measures 1.2″ in profile which is quite thin for a 17.3-inch laptop, but the weight is pretty much hefty at 7 pounds.

The m7-k111dx has a webcam with 1080p resolution, 802.11AC wireless and Gigabit Ethernet LAN connections, three USB 3.0 ports, Intel WiDi wireless display technology, HDMI video output, media card reader, and Bluetooth.

The battery has a mediocre capacity of 41WHr, but there’s no info on battery life.

    Be careful. I have this laptop model and it failed Windows 10 upgrade. I attempted 2 times, one with external Windows 10 media. It fails on the second reboot and (thankfully) restores itself to windows 8.1. Have backups.

    Other than that it has been a good machine.
