HP's Envy m6-1101sg is completely within the target area. The top reached a maximum of 33.1 ☌ and the bottom heated up to a maximum of 34.7 ☌. HP's CoolSense technology allegedly thwarts a too high temperature on the casing. This hard drive spins at 5400 revolutions per minute and provides a storage capacity of 1 TB.įollowing the good rates in system noise, we ask ourselves whether the low fan activity affects the laptop's temperature development. HP relies on an HDD from Western Digital. The user can fall back on an 8 GB DDR3 working memory in HP's Envy m6-1101sg. Either the HD Graphics 4000 or the Radeon HD 7670M is enabled depending on the required computing power to save energy and extend battery life. The dedicated graphics card's core clock is 600 MHz. AMD's graphics card, with 480 Unified Shaders and 716 million transistors, features 2 GB of DDR3 memory. HP's Envy also sports AMD's dedicated midrange Radeon HD 7670M graphics card. The processor-integrated graphics card supports DirectX 11 and Shader 5.0. The performance of the integrated graphics card is 60% higher than that of the former HD Graphics 3000 according to the manufacturer. Intel's HD Graphics 4000 card is integrated in the 3210M processor. The chip manufacturer specifies a thermal design power (TDP) of 35 watts. The i5-3210M should even be able to cope with up-to-date 3D games. The processor's performance should be sufficient for demanding applications such as HD video editing. When sufficiently cooled, the processor's clock can be increased to 3.1 GHz (1 core) for a short time via Turbo Boost. The CPU based on the Ivy Bridge architecture has a default clock of 2.5 GHz. Intel's dual-core i5-3210M processor is the laptop's heart. We can only hope for updates from the manufacturer in this case. HWINFO) and could only be reactivated by rebooting the system. Like in the Envy dv6-7202eg, the pad turned itself off in a few applications (e.g.

However, there are still a few problems with the mouse replacement in Windows 8. The pad's activation state is also indicated via an LED signal. The touchpad can be turned on and off by pressing the upper left corner. Their click noise is not distracting, like the keys in the keyboard. The two dedicated keys feature a medium key drop and a clear pressure point. These can be configured in the preinstalled software. Of course, the mouse replacement with a diagonal of almost 11 cm supports multi-finger gestures. Its sleek surface exhibits good gliding traits. It is placed in a recess which separates it from the rest of the work surface. The implemented touchpad was compelling in the test. Otherwise, typing on the chiclet keyboard is very comfortable. That will be particularly annoying for gaming fans.

We have to criticize the too small up and down arrow keys. The keyboard yields a bit toward the center, but that is not distracting. The typing noise is barely audible while working.

The keyboard exhibits a medium key drop and an agreeable pressure point. The black plastic keys feature white lettering and have a size of approximately 15 x 15 mm. The Pavilion m6-1050sg did not feature a backlight otherwise the inputs are very similar. Moreover, small LEDs on the Wi-Fi or mute keys indicate their status via light signals. A highlight of the chiclet keyboard installed in HP's Envy m6-1101sg is definitely the backlight.
