Anyone out there got a HP Envy?

I'm looking to replace my slowly-dying Dell Dimension 9200 with something that doesn't need it's own nuclear power station to operate.

Mrs Paul has HP Pavilion which has been fine so far but that's not highly spec'ed enough for what I will be doing.

That looks like a pretty cool machine. I've run the gamut of PCs in my lifetime... I use them mostly for high performance gaming and video editing. Since it seems like you're asking for a computer that will take on high task programs, I cannot recommend more to you the Alienware 18. It has not given me any performance problems whatsoever. I run all my games on high graphics and not once have I heard my fans come on. The only downside is it's size perhaps... it's very bulky, but that's because of it's internal fans that run silently inside. When I ordered this machine, I custom built it to the max. Slightly expensive yes, but it's going to last for many years. If you want performance, this is the machine for you.

I usually opt for Samsung laptops though, very reliable and brilliant customer services, if needed.

Makes it completely unusable and have had to disable it, otherwise the mouse keep disappearing into the top left corner

Thanks Steve. I will take a look but I wasn't looking for a solution as I don't really use the touch screen anyway. Just venting really.

If it's just a few weeks old replace it.
