HP Envy 17 (2024): the rewrite that lost the GPU
The HP Envy 17 (2024) is the cautionary sequel: $1,084 buys a Core Ultra 5 125H and 32GB of memory in a 2.5kg 17-inch body — and the graphics column reads 0 on our sheet, a coverage gap rather than a measured zero. Its 2023 sibling at $954 carried a measured RTX 3050 with a 63.1 graphics score; the 2024 sheet posts photo at 13, the joint-lowest reading of this batch.
Where it holds up
Office at 88.99 is top-tier, reliability at 78 runs 53 percent above the ultrabook-class median, and the 32GB ceiling matches the general-class median. The 17-inch canvas remains the line's identity, and the current platform carries the modern feature set. That is the complete list of the sheet's strengths.
Where it falls short
Five axes land low-band: performance at 34.99, gaming at 19, modeling at 27, CAD at 33, and photo at 13 — the joint photo minimum of the batch. Weight at 2.5kg, 71 percent above class median, is the named weakness, portability at 10.8 is the batch's second-lowest portability family — above only the 5.8 group — and value at 20.7 is the joint batch minimum. The structural verdict: the 2023 machine at $954 is better at nearly everything, and cheaper.
Price and depreciation
At $1,084 with an empty dollar ledger, the 11.29 percent annual class-level rate and first-year buyer exposure apply — and with value at 20.7, the joint-lowest reading here, the cushion against that curve is the thinnest in the batch. The empty ledger is generous; the value axis is not.
Alternatives to consider
The HP ENVY 17 (2023) at $954: the same canvas with a measured 3050, photo at 90, gaming at 66 — $130 less and categorically better. The HP Laptop 17 (2024) at $650 offers the same platform idea at a $434 discount with reliability at 90. The HP Omen 16 (2024) at $1,152 is the spend-more route that at least buys capability.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class, with the value axis at the batch's floor. The Envy 17 (2024) offers a top-tier office score, solid reliability, and the big canvas — against an unmeasured graphics column, five low-band axes, the batch's second-lowest portability, and a joint-minimum value reading. The 2023 sibling is the machine this one should have been.
