First off, I know that the Envy is very well known, and the QX411 is not. Also, I know that the Envy is a lot more powerful, and overall a lot better. However, my question is: Take a look at these stats.. The Envy costs $1200 with my configuration, and the Samsung costs $1000, but the price is going to be reduced in a few months to $900... My questions: Should I spend the extra $300 for the added features or the Envy? Or is it not worth it?

Samsung QX411

I think the primary difference between them are the processors. The i7 processor puts its laptops around $1200. Unless you're using incredibly intensive applications or programs, you won't notice hardly any difference between that and the i5.
Samsung overall gets amazing reviews and the QX411 is no exception.
You can't go wrong either way. Personally I'd go with the Samsung one because you can always use the extra $300. It doesn't seem like the extra $300 will get you that much more
I have the US Model of the qx411 for almost a week now wouldn't trade it for anything. it is so super fast at everything i do, gets great battery life, great screen, great looking and i actually like the samsung software that comes with it. I could go on and on but don't have time. I tried the envy for a few hours and sent it back very cheap and laggy.HP Envy 14 or a Samsung QX411?
i'd go i5 2410M, newer gen.
but 2 x 8-cell batteries is nice. They're worth $150.
Excellent post and wonderful blog, I really like this type of interesting articles keep it u.
