Customer Review

I myself have decided with this product for the 1st time on others' experiences to a notebook from HP and am pleasantly surprised. Immediately after the purchase I have installed an SSD and installed Windows 7 64 bit, contrary to the erroneous statements of several reviews (on other platforms), operate the Windows 8 64-bit driver with no problems, HP should make improvements possible at this point and the Windows 8 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 64-bit list of acting to counter confusion.
But what I might seam, the machine is quite fast hot / loud (Even if the Bios the point: "Fans always active: disabled" is set), this is true even in idle / office use. I can explain to me the point only through the graphics card (Which is only the software side, "Disable" on the Nvidia driver can) because the built-in Intel in the CPU integrated graphics generated considerably less electricity and heat and show devices from Apple, among other things, that it this also works well almost geräuchlos, should be improved at this point. Especially in order to offer an opportunity to use the device with the integrated graphics of the CPU, HP should eliminate this problem again with a firmware update, and this then also in German HP Service Portal "HP Envy 15-J011SG "listen, because currently you can only find the device specifications! Drivers and Firmware updates can only be reached when the brother (HP ENVY 15 j002eg) in the Service Portal. In summary, one can only say:

+ Very fast (with subsequently built-up SSD)
+ FULL-HD resolution was buying basic value (1920 * 1080)
+ Good and useful touchpad
+ Elegant appearance
+ More stable housing as various plastic housings from other manufacturers
+ BeatsAudio conjures a pleasant sound
+ Long battery life (5-6 hours with wifi / Office Applications)
+ Relatively slim and lightweight (2.2 Kg)

- Fan quite noisy / high heat generation
- Keyboard "swallowed" letters under normal use
- Poor customer service from HP (search for "HP Envy 15 J011SG" only provides product data)

But if HP up to its reputation with a long lifetime and will not be disabled when used intensively after 2-3 years as with other companies / previous notebooks, shows the long-term test.
