HP Envy TouchSmart m6-n010dx

The HP Envy TouchSmart m6-n010dx is a 15.6-inch laptop PC for consumers. Besides the touchscreen display and full-size backlit keyboard with number pad, for interaction with Windows 8 and programs the laptop uses brand new Control Zone technology as seen previously on the HP Spectre 13 ultrabook. Basically, it’s a touchpad with advanced multitouch gesture support.

In other aspects, the HP m6-n010dx doesn’t offer any novelties. It’s a mainstream notebook with the usual 1366×768 resolution and mid-range A10-5750M processor with the Radeon HD 8650G integrated graphics, with performance comparable to the widely adopted Intel Core i5-4200U with Intel HD 4400 IGP. The notebook has 6 Gigabytes of RAM memory, which is sufficient for heavy multitasking. The hard drive has a capacity of 750GB, sitting on the middle of the road between the common 500GB and generous 1 Terabyte found in higher-end laptop configurations.

According to HP, this notebook is made of glass-fiber, with soft-touch feel on the surfaces. It comes in “natural silver” color. The height of the chassis is 1.2″ which isn’t too thick nor thin, while the weight of 6.1 pounds is on the hefty side since similar laptops without optical drives weigh about 5 lbs.

The connectivity feature set is quite good, with four USBs, HDMI output connector, media card reader, Wi-Fi, Ethernet LAN, and Bluetooth. What’s missing is the old VGA video port.

The battery inside the m6-n010dx has six cells, but we have no info on battery life.
