The HP ENVY 14 impresses in a number of areas including build quality, design, and performance but underwhelms in two key areas. The first is the screen; given the premium price we expected a better quality screen but instead were greeted with a low-detail panel no different than ones found on budget notebooks. Second is the fan noise; it's unacceptable. Even at idle the fan rarely shuts off and...
