In the market for a new laptop?

By Heather

received the product/service at a reduced price or for free

hp2When I was first married, I longed for expensive jewelry and each birthday or holiday approached. Now? Give me some new technology, and I’m a happy girl. Both my birthday and Mother’s Day are coming up and my current laptop is getting sluggish. Just sayin’.

The new HP Envy TouchSmart 15.6” touch screen laptop is one I’ve been eyeing. Kevin has a touchscreen laptop and it really is hard to live without that feature once you’ve used it. I’ve been doing my best. The AMD FX Special Edition APU is a powerful process suitable for gaming and streaming, which we’ve been doing a lot lately.

hpThe AMD FX Special Edition APU with award winning graphics is exclusive to Best Buy, which as excellent store to visit when shopping for a new laptop. It makes it much easier to compare and contrast when you can try all of the different options in one store.

I’ve often got several windows up and programs running, so I need something powerful that can handle all of that work. We’re going to visit Best Buy and give the AMD FX HP Envy TouchSmart a try. If you’d rather order online, the store offers free shipping on orders over $35 and free in-store pickup in as little as 45 minutes if you just can’t stand to wait.

What features do you look for in a laptop?

    Looks good – I tried a win8 before – I had a seriously hard time to use it, it looks nice though.

    This looks like a nice laptop. I’m not a big fan of windows 8 though!

    Nice laptop. I look for storage, good video card and sound card.

    I love this new laptop. It is portable and stylish. I imagine most bloggers will love it.

    I look for memory features because I take lots of photos. I want a laptop that is light because I travel a lot.

    My husband was looking at one of these recently, but ended up going with a Dell (only because he got a 30% discount from his company LOL) I thought this one was pretty cool!

    I just bought a new HP – ENVY 17.3″ Touch-Screen Laptop – Intel Core i7 – 12GB Memory – 1TB Hard Drive . Man, I love this thing. It is taking a little getting use to, especially the Windows 8…but I am getting there. And I did get it at Best Buy!
