Description

The Envy 14-1190eg only reaches a noise level of 40 dB(A) during computer games. This is likely due to the Radeon graphics card’s lower TDP (about 15-19 watts) in comparison to the 560M CPU (35 watts).Aspire 4235 battery

The base unit’s top and bottom temperatures are always within the blue range in idle without noteworthy load and don’t even exceed 25 degrees. The entire case feels very cool in this state. This only changes notably on certain "hotspots" under load.Aspire 4310 battery,

The stress test measurement recorded up to 38 degrees on the top. While this provides warm fingers on the right, the left keyboard half stays very cool with 24 to 28 degrees. The bottom doesn’t exceed 37 degrees, whereby the average is only 29 degrees. The CPU’s temperature increased to a maximum of 81 degrees during the stress test inside. The GPU settled to only 66 degrees. The latter could be due to the HD 5650′s low clock rate of 450 MHz.Aspire 4315 battery

What is Beats Audio? It is an audio profile with bass enhancement with a concurrent clear sound. The profile is standardly enabled and can be increased or decreased via FN+B (Beats Audio symbol). The IDT 92HD81B1X Audio Controller is hardly used in notebooks. We only know of the Dell Inspiron 1440 (basic notebook).Aspire 4330 battery

Although the supplied basses can’t keep up with a subwoofer system, the balanced sound is impressive. The basses can be perceived to some extent, the mids are balanced and the trebles are acceptably rendered. It’s surprising that the sound is emitted from both tiny openings on the notebook’s silver front.Aspire 4336 battery

The maximum volume is good, but not particularly powerful. The sound has improved considerably in opposition to the successor, Envy 14-1010eg, whose packaging already displayed a "Beats Audio" logo (it was treble-heavy).Aspire 4520 battery,

Now to the striking Dr. De Dre studio headphones. The Monster Beats Solo HD provides a very good sound and seals the ears with soft ear cups very well. The Monster Beats’ maximum volume is so great that you may experience hearing impairment. The Beats Audio profile has the least influence on the headphones and appears to be optimized for the installed speakers. Aspire 4520G battery

There is something special about the cable (removable). The black "Control Talk" just in front of the ear cup has a microphone and answer button. This allows listening to music and telephoning without having to dig around in the pockets. The music has to originate from Apple 3Gs iPhones, IPod Shuffles and other iPods or similar devices.Aspire 4530 battery

An 8 cell lithium ion battery with a capacity of 59 Wh (3760 mAh) is the same as was used in the Envy 14-1010eg. The battery runtimes have neither worsened nor improved. Differences of 10 to 20 minutes are within the measuring tolerance, particularly in the WLAN test. The second figure in brackets originate from the 14-1010eg.Aspire 4530-5350 battery

The 14.5 incher lasts for three and a half hours (213 minutes; 235) during WLAN surfing. If you watch a DVD movie on the go, you’ll easily cope with 3:29 hours (209 minutes; 215). That’s enough for almost two movies. Undemanding users can increase the idle battery life up to 4:31 hours (271 minutes; 263) (BatteryEater’s Reader’s Test). The Intel HD was enabled and the dedicated HD 5650 disabled for these three tests.Aspire 4530-5627 battery

When the procesor is put under load, it is evident that there’s no difference between the Envy 14 models in terms of power consumption: 1:06 hours (66 min; 60). We left the ATI HD 5650 enabled for this test. The 90 watt adapter needs 2:06 hours for a full recharge. Aspire 4535G battery

Our test device hasn’t improved in matters of idle power consumption. The Envy treats itself to a power consumption of at least 13.3 watts (rather than 11.4 watts) with enabled Intel HD. It is 16.4 watts (instead of 14.5 watts) with the HD 5650. Thus, the Intel HD saves the system about 3 watts, which are available for a longer battery runtime.Aspire 4540 battery

The power consumption increases up to 77.7 watts under high load set off by the stress test (CPU & GPU 100% load). The 90 watt adapter copes well with that. It heats up to 54 degrees, which is acceptable. The multimeter indicates 54 watts when only the 560M CPU is demanded by Prime95.Aspire 4540G battery

Envy 14-1190eg Beats EditionAlike the first Envy 14 incher, the 14-1190eg Beats Edition can serve with first-rate stability, an attractive case and high-end equipment (input devices, interfaces). The performance, with the high clocking Core i5-560M, is apt for demanding applications, like video and sound editing. The system performance is exceptionally high due to the fast rotating 500 GB hard disk (20th place in the ranking of ALL notebooks). A drawback for gamers is the Radeon HD 5650 clocked down to 450 MHz. It is measurably not as strong as the 550 MHz counterpart.Aspire 4710 battery

The high performance can be cooled by an efficient, but always audible cooling system without ado. The battery life of about three and a half hours isn’t close to being a high-flyer, but can be called viable. Moreover, the Beats Audio sound profile together with the installed speakers provides a balanced sound, including a few basses. Aspire 4710G battery

However, after so much praise, a clashing argument for the 1800 euro notebook follows. The 14.5 inch display could hardly be more substandard. It is on par with 400 euro-budget office laptops with its low contrasts, tight viewing angles, narrow color spectrum and below average brightness.Aspire 4710Z battery

All good qualities of the LED Radiance Infinity display of the HP Envy 14-1010eg have been eradicated in the 14-1190eg Beats Edition. Too bad, because just this display would have made the Envy 14 to a unique notebook. In view of this, it’s almost no wonder that our test device (delivered by HP) is hardly listed in any shop.Aspire 4715Z battery

A compact, stable and haptically pleasant base unit. Our hands feel very comfortable on the rubber-coated work surface.Aspire 4720 battery

A high-end or at least good display. The Radiance display could have at least been replaced with a viewing angle stable screen, as they are found in some HP workstations.Aspire 4720G battery
