HP ENVY 14 Beats edition Pro Reviews

expertreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

In spite of the great design and solid performance, the Envy Beats edition can’t justify its high price. Its processor is from a previous generation and it has disappointing battery life as a result. The screen is also a step back from previous versions. Although there are few Windows-based laptops that are quite so good-looking, it’s hard to justify spending so much for style over substance.

Though it's undeniably a stylish and attractive machine which has plenty of power even for a fairly intense workload, the HP Envy 14 14-1195ea Beats Edition doesn't excel enough in any area to justify its ridiculously high price, and the inclusion of the sub-par Beats Solo headphones doesn't help.

All that metal adds to the weight; at 2.58kg it feels like you're carrying a 15-inch laptop, but without the screen resolution. This is on the borderline of what we'd call portable and the short battery life only emphasises that. The price might also make you think twice. It isn’t quite a full-on gaming system or a pro audio setup, although it’s packed with goodies. With this specification, the HP Envy 14 Beats Edition is much more like a mobile powerhouse for heavy professional users who still want a stylish system than a general multimedia laptop.

The HP Envy 14 Beats Edition is a solid enough 14.5in notebook, spruced up here to appeal to a younger audience. Yet we can't help feeling that Hewlett Packard is playing the trendy dad, not really understanding the youth generation so instead buying in credibility with the heavily trademarked Dr Dre name. As a laptop, the HP Envy 14 Beats Edition has reasonably quick performance and good gaming credentials, but the quad-core processor means it gets warmer than brethren with newer Core i5 chips, and battery life suffers.

All good qualities of the LED Radiance Infinity display of the HP Envy 14-1010eg have been eradicated in the 14-1190eg Beats Edition. Too bad, because just this display would have made the Envy 14 to a unique notebook. In view of this, it's almost no wonder that our test device (delivered by HP) is hardly listed in any shop.

But there's a lot more to the Envy 14 Beats Edition than just good sound quality. This is an extremely powerful notebook, both in terms of everyday and graphical performance, and it provides the sort of power we'd expect from a much larger desktop replacement machine. The notebook is also portable, making it a genuine option as a travelling companion.
