Seeking advice on HP ENVY TouchSmart 14-k119tx

soloavenger — Sat, 16 Aug 2014 11:21:07 +0800

I've been searching but couldn't find any proper reviews done on the HP ENVY TouchSmart 14-k119tx. It seems its only assembled for the Malaysian market. Anyone used this model?

k119tx specs: Win8.1 64bit, i5-4200U with Intel HD Graphics 4400 (1.6 GHz, 3 MB cache, 2 cores), 4G RAM, 500GB SATA SSHD, Touchscreen, Nvidia GT 740M (2GB DDR3),Beats Audio, 3cell Battery, 2year Warranty Offsite, 2+kg

I'm shopping for a lightweight and affordable 14" laptop which has backlit keyboards, touchscreen, long battery life. The K119tx seems to offer everything i need but at a slight premium (approx RM2750). My usage is non-gaming: some video/audio editing, Office docs, web, downloads, international travel convenience, daily usage. Touchscreen i thought would be convenient for moving/closing windows around and some design work.

The other contenders are Dell Vostro 5470 with Touchscreen option, Lenovo Flex 2, and Acer Aspire V5. The Vostro 5470 is the strongest contender due its lightweight (1.65kg with touchscreen), dedicated graphics and price approx RM2650 but without backlit keyboard.

I've only ever owned HP printers. The old printers (probably 10 years and before) were workhorses but the new ones are not very good. Would anyone be able to share constructive feedback?

1) HP parts and service reliability in Malaysia nowadays
2) this models battery life with regular usage (non gaming)? 3 cells seems small capacity.
3) how long do fixed/non removable batteries last?
4) its backlit keyboard quality?
5) sound quality? As long not tinny sounding is fine. Decent for movies and music.
6) Other concerns I should be aware of?
7) Maybe other laptop recommendations?
8) I've learnt from past experience that laptop motherboard quality is important but we never know what is used and what is good. Do HP use good motherboards now?

Thanks in advance
