HP’s ENVY is a Laptop that looks like a Macbook

Well, the new Laptops being made by HP, the ENVY 15 and 13, are based on the “Voodoo ENVY legacy” Fair enough, you could say. Fortunately for my title, the laptop does look quite a bit like a Macbook Pro. The 13″ Laptop is a powerhouse, supporting Radeon 4330 graphics, and a beautiful screen with impressive colors (82% color gamut) and brightness (410 nit).

The extended battery for the small laptop is also a big drawcard, with expected battery life reported to doubled by the small devices addition. Considering the laptop already has a 7 hour battery life, this is a pretty cool feat. Weighing in at only 3.74 pounds, the laptop also features a magnesium frame, coated with matte textured aluminium. The only bad thing about HP’s small notebook, is that the touchpad is glass, with no buttons to distinguish between left and right click. With zoom, rotate and scroll features also controlled by the touchpad, perhaps the inclusion of buttons would have been a better idea.

As for the 15″, the larger ENVY costs a hundred dollars more in retail, but sports a Core i7, dual SSDs, as

well as a  Radeon 4830 card. The larger screen is a little less bright than the 13″, but it’s not too big a concern. The battery life for the 15″ is understandably quite a bit less, but HP has decided to include the extended battery life device with the laptop as well. Preloaded with Windows 7, and slated for an October release, prices start at around $1699 for the 13″ and 1799 for the 15″
