HP Envy 17 Price in Pakistan

The HP Envy 17 (17-cr0000) is one of the few premium 17-inch laptops that is not a gaming machine. It is designed for people who want a big, comfortable screen for work, study and entertainment, with the build quality of HP's Envy line. The aluminium body weighs about 2.5 kg and is around 19 mm thick, so it is best used as a desk or home laptop rather than something you carry every day.

The 17.3-inch display is the main attraction. The standard panel is Full HD IPS at around 300 nits, with touch on some units. A 4K UHD IPS option at around 400 nits gives much sharper text and photos, which is great for designers and anyone who works with large spreadsheets. The large screen also makes watching cricket and dramas very enjoyable, and the full-size keyboard with numeric keypad is comfortable for long typing sessions.

Inside are 12th Gen Intel Core P-series processors: the Core i5-1240P and Core i7-1260P, both with 12 cores and 16 threads. They are quick for MS Office, browsing, Zoom, accounting software, programming and photo editing. Most units use Intel Iris Xe graphics, while some add an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 4GB GPU. The RTX 2050 helps with light gaming and Adobe apps, but it is an entry-level GPU, so do not expect high settings in new games. Good news: RAM uses two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots, so you can upgrade to 32GB, and the M.2 SSD is replaceable.

The 55Wh battery is modest for a 17-inch laptop, so expect a few hours of light use away from the plug. For Pakistani homes and offices, a UPS backup is recommended during load shedding. Ports are generous: two Thunderbolt 4, three USB-A, HDMI 2.1, a full SD card reader and a headphone jack. Wi-Fi 6E, a 5MP webcam with kill switch, a fingerprint reader and Bang & Olufsen quad speakers make it great for both meetings and media.

The HP Envy 17 price in Pakistan starts around Rs 185,000 for a Non Custom Core i5-1240P, 12GB RAM, 512GB SSD unit. It is a good pick for office users, families, students and creators who want a large premium screen and upgradeable RAM. Serious gamers should choose a Victus or OMEN instead.
