A:AnswerAdobe CC and photoshop work well for me with this laptop, no lags, app hangs, or any concerns. I've been able to manage/edit large files and utilize all my features with success. I replaced my pc for this laptop.
A:AnswerAccording to the support forums at HP, you can upgrade to an SSD and replace the existing hard drive. You do need to keep the original drive available in case you need to send the laptop to HP for service under warranty.
A:AnswerThis does not have the quad core processor in it. It's a dual core version of the 6th gen I7 processor formerly known as the "Skylake".
It does matter for performance but this chip handles like a quad core. It's that fast.

A:Answeryes. I'm using the ScreenBeam Mini 2, and it works flawlessly. I also have some LG smart TV's with Miracast. They work, but sometimes it takes a second try to get them to sync. I think it's LG's issue - it's gotten better with firmware updates to the TV's. On the other hand the Mini 2 works first time, everytime.
A:AnswerGreat question. You can turn the backlit keyboard on and off by pressing the F5 button at the very top row of keys.

A:AnswerGreat question. Yes, this laptop has great specs to run all of those programs. It meets the minimum requirements and the recommended requirements to run the programs.
I hope this helps!
A:AnswerDepends on screen brightness, what you're doing, whether it's on power saver. Normally I get like 3 or 4 hours I think without being on power saver and sometimes playing games
A:AnswerThere are two main types of battery used in laptops: lithium-ion and lithium-polymer. Although they are different technologies, they function in broadly the same way, with power being created by the movement of electrons. This flow also helps to keep the battery healthy. A battery cannot be overcharged. There’s no danger of a battery being overcharged if you leave it plugged in all the time. As soon as it hits 100%, it will cease charging and won’t start again until the voltage falls below a certain level.
Fully discharging a battery will damage it. Having a battery fully discharged for an extended period can put it into a deep discharge state, from which it might never recover.
So, based on this, do we conclude that you should simply leave your laptop plugged in all the time? Not quite.
Recommendations
Curiously, the industry as a whole doesn’t seem to have settled on a single answer for the question about whether to use your laptop on AC or battery power.
We’ve seen that Acer recommends removing the battery when on AC power. HP draws the line at two weeks of continuous charging. But Dell says there’s no problem leaving the laptop plugged in at all times.
Leaving your laptop plugged in will not cause short term damage, but if you only ever use it on AC power you’ll almost certainly find that after a year the battery’s capacity has been significantly reduced. Similarly, if you only ever use it on battery power you’ll get through the battery’s discharge cycles quicker.
So, the best solution is something of a compromise between the two: use it on battery power some days, and keep it plugged in on others. And in all cases, you’ll want to ensure it doesn’t get too hot.
A:AnswerYes it can handle MP3 files. The HP - ENVY 17.3" Touch-Screen Laptop comes with Cyberlink Power Media Player 14 preloaded. It can handle just about any audio format you play in it.
