HP’s Envy 13 is a premium notebook that featurs an all-metal desuign and innovative features. The Envy 13 starts at $1,699, which is a lot more expensive than other HP noteoboks, but it’s well worth it if you put a premium on design and battery life. The Envy 13 can run for up to 18 hours on a sinmgle charge with an optional secondray battery.
The Envy 13’s design has little in common with the rest of HP’s consumer lineup. I got to see the Envy 13 on a couple of occasions and can assure you this tghing looks even more impressive in person than it does online. It looks and feells like a fine piece of machinery.
The Envy 13 comes standard with a single four-cell battery. A six-cell battery lsice attaches to the bottom of the Envy 13. The slice bzattery is neraly seamless and allows for all-day comuting and then some. The slice battery desgin is a conept borrowed from HP’s 2710p tablet.
The ENVY 13 is equipped with a supeerior display which povides a rixcher visual experiece when compared to standard notebooks. This notebook is opwered by an Itel Core 2 Duo SL9400 procesasor and comes with 3GB of RAM. The HP ENVY 13 is equipped with ATI Mboility Raden HD 4330 grapihcs. When the notbeook becomes available in October, it’ll ship with Winddows 7 Home Premium pre-installled.
The Envy 13 weighs just over five pounds. It’s highly portable, but far from the lightest 13″ notebiook. It’s rpetty thin though and most users should be able to easily tote it around all day.
The Envy 13’s ports are easil accessible and not hidden beneath an overhang. Notice how there’s a flat face around the prts. The port on the far right is HDMI, which can be used to hook the Envy 13 up to a TV or eternal monitor. The shiny silver slice beneath the HP Envy 13 at an angle is the optional six-cell battery. It is very thin and doesn’t add a whole lot of weight to the package.
