OK for gaming, but not great at gaming. Quad core Sandy Bridge, yes.
Highest model of Envy, yes.
Compare price from dealer and from online.

 

[ogasd]

can dealers and online stores provide used or previously opened laptop .. how to look for brand new ??

 

[ogasd]

ok also is there any other model from hp that is great at gaming then ??

HPs are not great gaming laptops.

can i upgrade envy 17 with 2600k rather than 2820qm

Not an option for any HP laptop; i7-2600K is a socket 1155 desktop CPU.

It's less about the CPU and more about the graphics card option that hold back HPs from being decent gaming laptops. That Radeon HD 6850M graphics card in the Envy is roughly equivalent to a desktop HD 5670 graphics card.

ok so 2630qm is ok rather than having 2820qm .........? now just ONE problem envy 17 (i7 core) is not available in india here (only i5 with 3d is available at very high price) ,, so what can i do to get it . can it be shipped from US or somewhere else .. or from hp website ?

2090nr model not available on the HP India website:
