HP ENVY 13 Photos and Specs
HP’s Envy 13 is a premium notebook that features an all-metal design and innovative features. The Envy 13 starts at $1,699, which is a lot more expensive than other HP notebooks, 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 single charge with an optional secondary 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 thing looks even more impressive in person than it does online. It looks and feels like a fine piece of machinery.
The Envy 13 comes standard with a single four-cell battery. A six-cell battery slice attaches to the bottom of the Envy 13. The slice battery is nearly seamless and allows for all-day computing and then some. The slice battery design is a concept borrowed from HP’s 2710p tablet.
The ENVY 13 is equipped with a superior display which provides a richer visual experience when compared to standard notebooks. This notebook is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400 processor and comes with 3GB of RAM. The HP ENVY 13 is equipped with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics. When the notebook becomes available in October, it’ll ship with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed.
The Envy 13 weighs just over five pounds. It’s highly portable, but far from the lightest 13″ notebook. It’s pretty thin though and most users should be able to easily tote it around all day.
At $1,699 and up it’ll be tough for most users to justify buying an Envy 13, but those lucky enough to buy one will have fun showing it off. Here are a few photos I took at an HP event a couple of weeks ago:
It’s easy to compare the Envy 13′s metallic case and dimensions to a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. The Envy 13 does not have a uni-body design like the Dell Adamo and current MacBooks, but it feels extremely rigged. In fact, I prefer how robust it feels.
This is how the Envy 13 looks with the extended battery installed. It’s the black slice that looks like part of the notebook.
The Envy 13′s ports are easil accessible and not hidden beneath an overhang. Notice how there’s a flat face around the ports. The port on the far right is HDMI, which can be used to hook the Envy 13 up to a TV or external 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.

HP should not be making their laptops to look like our Macbook Pro. I, Steve Jobs of Apple corp do agree with the post above, this should be embarrassing for HP. They didn’t even incorporate the unibody into their “ENVY” design. its a total load of crap. people who think this is better than our Macbook, please visit our website @ http://www.apple.com/ca/macbookpro/
otherwise you can buy this HP PC and enjoy playing Minesweeper online but suffer the consequence of purchasing a poorly designed PC.

if by “looks like a complete copy of a macbook pro” because it has a large multitouch trackpad and black chicklet keypad that all computer companies are integrating, well then no shit. But that's about as far as the similarities go. Macs are good for nothing but looks. Hp is now proving that PC can deliver looks and the functionality of windows 7. Sorry to all you mac lovers that windows 7 requires more than 2 brain cells to operate. “ooh mac osx is so eeeaassy and uuusseerr–frriiieeennddllyy! ooooooohhh aaaaaahhh” lmao fucking losers.
uugghh you mac users are seriously retarded. there are no other words for it. “get a pc virus on the first day” hahahahha wow that's embarassing. you basically have to be downloading porn from flagged websites, disregarding every warning you get before you get a virus on a pc. The only reason macs DON'T get viruses is that so few people use them and it would be a complete waste of time and effort to design one specifically for macs. It has been proven that the mac infrastructure is 10x more prone to virus infection, so if someone WAS interested in hurting macs then they could easily do so, but it's not nice to pick on mentally challenged people! hahaha fuckbrains
haha ok faggit i guess you ARE steve jobs
yeah GREAT idea! create an anti-pc gang on a NOTEBOOKS website. especially great idea considereing that 99.99% of notebook computers are pc's not macbooks. you wouldn't get destroyed or anything. like i said….mentally challenged.
omg you're an idiot. It's ignorant people like you in the world that are slowing the rest of us down. None of the arguments you've posted so far are logical or backed up by any legitimate facts and statistics.
“Mac OS X’s share of the OS market increased from 7.31% in Dec 2007 to 9.63% in Dec 2008, which is a 32% increase in market share during 2008, compared to a 22% increase during 2007.”
This shows how Apple is rapidly expanding their market reaching more notebook users. But don't get too excited about thinking PC's have the other 90.37% because you probably didn't factor in the other operating systems in use including Linux, Solaris, Unix, or Google Chrome OS.
As for your comment on viruses-
“Other than Word macro viruses, there are over 20,000 PC viruses, yet only 40-80 Mac ones. Also, there is no Mac virus that can destroy your hardware. Some PC viruses can zero out the flash BIOS and render the computer totally inoperable.”
Macs DO have viruses. People are interested in producing them for Macs and not just PC's. But they do not come close to the amount or damage they cause that PC viruses do. PC viruses can completely destroy your OS. Mac viruses will just slow us down, but it won't stop us.
Not only does the Mac OSX provide excellent usability (By the way, “user-friendly” is an incorrect term to use), but it also provides versatility. Ever heard of Bootcamp or Parallels? It allows Mac users to install Windows on Mac OS. Meaning, Apple users can operate on both Mac and Windows. I don't believe Windows has come out with anything like that.
Next time you want to provide a good argument. Do your research first.
its good but its expensive …
this is where it's at. about time someone with some actual knowledge posted a reply that actually meant something. P: christ.

“Mac OS X’s share of the OS market increased from 7.31% in Dec 2007 to 9.63% in Dec 2008.”
EXACTLY. PC's still have 90% market share. That means roughly 9 out of 10 computer users CHOSE PC. Only 1 out of 10 chose MAC. The numbers speak for themselves.
May be this blog’s greatest read to date!!
