), as soon as the product arrived in the evaluation room, it immediately attracted the onlookers of the friends. In fact, the focus of everyone's attention was the Leap Motion somatosensory technology, a brand-new way of human-computer interaction. Personally, I think this should be a new attempt by HP to lead the industry. For friends who are tired of playing with mouse and touch and like to adopt early adopters, they can pay more attention.

What is LeapMotion?
▲ ENVY 17 with somatosensory receiver!
It is a high-precision somatosensory technology, similar to Kinect. Through special sensors, it can reconstruct the real movement information of the palm and identify rich gestures, so as to obtain the experience effect of operating from a distance in the application. In addition, in fact, this technology can not only recognize the movement of fingers, but also thinner hand-held tools, such as pens and chopsticks, can be used as tools for somatosensory interaction.
As for the principle, you will see that there is a black bar under the keyboard of HP ENVY 17, which is the sensor of LeapMotion. Leap Motion uses infrared LED+ gray camera to collect 3D information. Because only hand information is collected, Leap Motion has good running efficiency and fine recognition.

At present, in addition to HP Envy 17 Leap Motion SE, it is reported that there will be 1 1 HP all-in-one computers and desktops with built-in Leap Motion technology, and according to Michael Buckwald, CEO of Leap Motion, at a news briefing in London, After CES in 20 14, this technology will also be integrated into future mobile phones and tablets, so it is conceivable that this may be another experience revolution after touch operation!
Experience HP ENVY 17 Leap Motion SE.
Different from the traditional keyboard/mouse, touchpad and multi-touch screen technology, Leap motion can operate the computer within a certain distance without touching the computer, so it is more flexible to use. Moreover, the action information expressed by both hands is much more complicated than the mouse pointer, so there is a big difference in the gameplay, but the trick to master this operation is very simple. Using both hands, pointing or scratching, editing and playing is quite addictive!
▲ Turn on the Leap Motion function through Fn+ spacebar.
At present, Leap Motion has attracted more than 85,000 developers to publish more than 150 applications supporting this device and technology in the app store. ENVY 17 also has many selected games built in, such as the classic fruit version of Karting Racing, the foreign version of Uncle Forest chopping wood, etc. It is very interesting to experience these small games through gesture control.
Because Leap motion's games require us to move our hands to operate at the same time, and our hands are not in direct contact with the laptop, this avoids the phenomenon of "keyboard hand" and "mouse hand" in the past, and some games require us to make large-scale arm movements, which directly moves all joints and muscle groups of our upper limbs, helping to alleviate various physical discomfort caused by sitting in front of the computer for a long time. It seems that playing computer can also be regarded as fitness!
▲Leap Motion somatosensory game
At present, Leap Motion can only recognize finger movements, and it is said that Leap Motion will have a software upgrade next year 1 month. The new version of the software will further improve the accuracy of somatosensory tracking, and add the function of tracking the whole palm and separating each finger at the same time ... It's really amazing.
▲Leap Motion has a high degree of accurate identification of the landing point.
Detail appearance HP ENVY 17 Leap Motion SE
17 inch games are actually not many models in China. After all, domestic consumers don't need large sizes like foreigners. Count the products such as ENVY 17, alien 17 inch, laser wave and MSI. Compared with these, HP ENVY 17' s biggest feature is that it is more like a normal notebook than an exaggerated game book. Why do you say that? Because this year, the whole ENVY series is in the silver anodized aluminum metal style, and it takes a simple style, so it has a high degree of recognition in the entertainment book.
▲ detailed appearance HP ENVY 17 Leap Motion SE
At first glance, ENVY 17 is particularly tall. The style of chocolate keyboard is very much like the feeling of apple. Looking closely at ENVY 17, the key cap is foggy, and it is not the plane of the traditional chocolate keyboard. It has a pillow-shaped depression. When you move your fingers quickly, you will have an obvious sense of boundary, which is not easy to make mistakes and has high typing efficiency.

Personally, I think it would be better if we could put the sensor of Leap Motion on the touchpad. Because when doing big movements with both hands, if the left hand is too low, it may go beyond the inverted cone range of the sensor (Leap Motion has a fixed sampling height range).
▲ The interface is complete and four USB3.0 external connections are convenient.
HP ENVY 17 Leap Motion has a complete interface, with standard HDMI and RJ45 ports on the left, dual USB3.0 and SD card slot. Dual USB3.0, headset 2-in-1 interface, power interface and DVD burning on the right. All interfaces are standard specifications, and no additional adapters are needed. It can fully meet the needs of family audio-visual entertainment.
Performance and summary HP ENVY 17 Leap Motion SE
In terms of configuration, ENVY 17 Leap Motion SE has no obvious weakness, and the game performance has reached the performance that Geforce GT 750M mainstream games should have. Moreover, the machine has reserved upgrade space, and can install 1 8GB memory by itself. What's more surprising is that ENVY 17 has two standard SATA3 hard disks for upgrading! The only regret is that the tester is not equipped with IPS wide-angle screen, which makes the machine have some shortcomings in viewing angle and color.
▲ENVY 17 is very easy to disassemble 1 screw!

Its performance can reach the level of the core CPU of the previous generation TDP 45W, and it has higher energy efficiency.
Theoretical performance test of CINEBENCH R 1 1.5 and R 15.
We used CINEBENCH R 1 1.5 and R 15 to measure. The CPU test projects of CINEBENCH R 1 1.5 and R 15 use the processor to render a high-precision 3D scene, thus testing the processing ability of CPU single-thread and multi-thread.
As can be seen from the test results, the Core i7-4702MQ is multi-threaded 6.3 1pts and single-threaded1.38pts.. 583cb, 1 18cb, which is about 15% ahead of the previous generation of high-end i7-3840QM and more than twice that of i5 low-voltage processor.
3Dmark 1 1 graphic performance test
▲GT 750M has the performance of mainstream game books.
In terms of performance, we used 3Dmark 1 1 to test ENVY 17. From the scores of graphic items, we can see that GT 750M belongs to the standard of mainstream game graphics cards, and its performance is improved by about 10% compared with that of the previous generation GT 650M, and some games may be improved by about 20fps.
PCmark 7\8 Comprehensive Application Performance Test
▲PCmark 7 has a high test score and excellent application performance.
PCmark7, 8 is a hardware effectiveness evaluation tool, which focuses on the simulation evaluation of daily software. ENVY 17 Leap Motion SE scored 357 1(Home) out of 491/minute \PCmark8 in the PCmark7 test, which is higher than the average level of notebooks at present, and fully meets the needs of running large-scale software such as Photoshop, After Effects and 3ds Max.
Heat dissipation
In the temperature test, copy ENVY 17 for 30 minutes, the room temperature is about 20 degrees, and use Fluke to test. You can see that the heat on the front keyboard is accumulated, but the highest point is only 36 degrees, so it is still cool to the touch. At this time, it is normal to use software to monitor the CPU core temperature at about 67 degrees. On the back of the fuselage, due to the large internal space, there is no heat accumulation, and the heat is all near the air outlet.
Endurance test of PCMARK 8
The editor's feelings about ENVY 17 Leap Motion SE are as follows:
1 and Leap Motion have good software and hardware matching, accurate recognition and high playability.
2, four speakers and two subwoofers Beats Audio entertainment sound is good.
3, full HD screen, but the upper and lower viewing angles are average.
4. The touch screen is heavy.
In terms of products, the new function Leap motion added by ENVY 17 is really interesting. Tired of playing ASDW+ mouse-operated games, it's easy to fly by hand or drive a racing car with your bare hands once in a while, and it also exercises your muscles. The editor recommends that friends who like early adopters might as well try it.
