I've had many ThinkPad and Lenovo laptops over the years and lately I haven't been very happy with their build or overall quality. When I was shopping for laptops last year, I actually strayed from my usual ThinkPad upgrade path and went down the path of the HP Envy 15 (which is a decent laptop in its own right). When I unboxed it, I felt like an absolute monster. It's not shocking that a gaming laptop is heavy, but it feels REALLY heavy and the lip that runs behind the screen doesn't help it…

Okay, you're all direct. This computer is reliable for its price. The build quality is noticeable. mmm Just great. Sturdy but not too heavy, but it feels heavy you know?

This is a "gaming" laptop, so the 5 hours I got with average screen brightness and multitasking was good enough for me. By the way, the screen is great. I'm a big fan of high quality, flicker free (permanent dimming) IPS…
