Hi
I do not want to upset anyone, but the laptop I have HP Envy 17in
it has served me well, so, I wanted more storage and power hopefully to last me.
I only play the seek and find games ( so nothing serious ) emails surf the net but to get the higher-spec they only come with gamers machines.
The laptop does not go anywhere just sits on the desk but do not want a tower too many wires for me
