The $1,049.99 price tag of the new computer, however, might cause a bit of sticker shock. It is more expensive than other 17-inch PC laptops, including another HP Envy priced at $699.99.

But the HP Envy 17 is a stylish everyday workhorse laptop that I like with a large, 17-inch screen that gives it a little extra productivity oomph for remote work or school.
