What is the HP Envy 15? In the past, HP's Envy brand could be considered one of its more premium laptop offerings, but it's since been supplanted by the more outlandish Spectre series, such as the HP Spectre 13 . As such, the HP Envy 15-as001na sits very...

Look at the websites of big laptop-makers and you'll find bold images of laptops designed to look like the future of the form. They're impossibly slim, made of the same expensive materials as a top-end phone and cost a packet. Also see: Best laptops 2016...

The HP Envy 15 doesn't seem like a desperately interesting laptop at first glance. It's too big to be cool, not quite cheap enough to be a stone-cold bargain. However, the longer you use it, the more you realise quite what a sound fit it is for people who...

It's easy to be charmed by the design, audio and features of the Envy 15. Sadly, its selling feature, the optional high-resolution display, has the glaring fault of displaying red as orange.
