I had a 17" HP Envy and LOVED it until the screen started separating and it began making a grinding noise...even when it was supposed to be in sleep mode. It was well used and well loved. I ended up with a desktop (HP Omen GT13 with AMD Ryzen) but I'd have snatched up a newer Envy laptop in a second if I hadn't "needed" a desktop for the office.

I also have a Lenovo ideapad 3 with Intel i3...nothing like my Envy's 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, 17" screen, and Intel i7. (Granted, it's an older chip than the ideapad's i3, but still!) Anyway, I've used it a few times for scrapping in the family room while we watch TV as a family. It's quick with good colors, but it's a smaller screen and I haven't tried to surf the Web or stream music while scrapping--not sure if that's a big thing for you? I like a powerful workhorse for my scrapping laptop, and the ideapad isn't enough for me. I need more RAM and speed. (Cue Tim Allen growling about "more power" lol.)

Good luck finding something that works for you!
