On the other hand, the presence of a separate number block should not surprise anyone. This is different to what we are used to seeing on most of the competition. Useful special functions (such as brightness and volume controls, etc) are activated without having to press the Fn key. Meanwhile there is not much to complain about in terms of the layout most users will easily find their way around. The free-standing, 15 x 15 mm keys respond well (though their tactile feedback and point of impact could be a little clearer), but the noise they make is pretty loud and rattly. The size and weight are acceptable for a notebook at 3.1 kg it can be readily transported.ĭespite some good efforts, the keyboard did not succeed in winning us over entirely. Overall HP have got almost everything right, with the case feeling like a cross between the Dell XPS 17 and the HP Envy 17. The hinges come in for a lot of criticism the display can wobble heavily when the base unit is shaken, and you need two hands to open the lid. However, the lid can be flexed noticeably - a typical notebook shortcoming. Only under strong pressure do the keyboard (particularly the number block) and the area around the HP logo start to flex a little. The very robust base unit is another point in the notebook’s favour. The laptop’s shape and overall design are fresh and yet classy at the same time the notebook looks smart from every angle. The build quality of our review model was convincing, apart from the hard bottom edge of the keyboard, and the screen edging which sticks out slightly.
The steel-grey metal surfaces are scratch resistant and give the laptop a high-quality appearance. We think the dv7-6101eg has a great look.
