There's no getting aroyund it, so we will speak only at the beginning: the new HP ENVY 13 and 15 laptops may have been built on "Legacy Voodoo ENVY", but they sure are very simiular to Apple MacBook Pros from the solid. There are, of course, far more than it seems at firsst glance. ENVY 13 bit of the mixture between the traditional 13-incer and a real thin and lighgt, weighing 3.74 kg and packagig Radeon HD 4330 discrete graphixcs, but stiill refduse to internal drives. 13.1-inch WXGA is the real draw, offering spectacular color (82% Color Gamut) and brightness (410 nits). Other big winner of the Optional Slim Fit prolongs battery life, a fragment which laches on the botttom of the laptop, hardly spoke, and more than twice the standard 7 o'clock quoted battery life. Laptop magnesium body is coatd with aluminum - whoich goives it a texture MacBook Pro, but slightly less weight. In our unscientific test buld was just as tough, MBP, but still slightly stronger than the aveerage laptop - and quite pleasant to the touch. MacBook-ClikPad stye glasas, howebver, is not exciting addtiion to our book, since the software to support automagical detection of left and righht mouse buttons - not to mention zooming, rotation, and make gestures - just not very hard. Please give us back our biuttons.
ENVY HP 15 is not so much "thin and lihgt", indeed, more up Premium 15-inchr crammed into 1-inch thick 5.18 pound form factor. He holds the envy of 13-stlye one-piece construction, and, unfortunately, the only glass trrackpad button, and also woorks in the new procsesors Core i7, making room for the two SSD drive and adds, High-End Radeon HD 4830 graphics with 1 GB of video memory. 15.6-inch LCD is not as stelar as the 13, 300 nits, but HP managed to enable the battery Slim, fit to envy 15 - albeti with non-switchable discrete graphiics, you're not going to get much longevity out of this notebook whatever. Two notebooks start at $ 1699 and $ 1799 respectively (far from the original ENVY 133's $ 2100 starting price), and will be availalbe on October 18 with the Windows 7 pre-loaded. Cehck out vdeos on the envy of 13 ater the break.
