When I first saw the condition the shipping box was in, I was very nervous. After waiting all this time for my new laptop to arrive, the last thing I wanted was to open it up and find out that it was scratched or even worse, busted.
This sticker, right next to the gash in the box made me laugh. So…evidently FedEx wasn’t too concerned with transporting my box despite the fact that it could supposed blow up if damaged. Way to be make safety a priority FedEx!
Fortunately, it was packed quite well. The styrofoam sides kept it safely away from the sides of the box so there weren’t any issues at all with it despite the messed up box.
I was rather impressed with the branding that HP has put together for their Envy line. I think it’s simple and modern.
Everything was packed quite neatly inside: the computer, an external CD drive, and the extended battery. Ends up that the memory card actually contained the manual – now that is creative!
Isn’t it pretty? I’m no where near finished discovering all of the different things I can do with it but first impressions are quite good. Windows 7 is gorgeous and everything is running so fast! It would appear that my days of running a batch process and going off to do something while it finishes are over.
Jasper and Jasmine loved the box. I didn’t have the heart to tell Jasper he was simply too fat to fit.
