HP ENVY Sleekbook & ENVY Ultrabook Features

Even though the new Sleekbook starts at $599, all the new ENVY Sleekbooks and Ultrabooks come with a collection of features expected in the ENVy line.

  • HP ENVY SleekBookBeats Audio – Listen to music the way artists want you to hear it with this premium audio solution from HP and Dr. Dre. This is the first time Beats Audio is available in large screen notebooks, and includes a subwoofer.
  • HP CoolSense – CoolSense knows when the notebook is getting to hot and can sense when it is on a lap or on a table to adjust fans and processor usage to keep the notebook from overheating.
  • ProtectSmart – ProtectSmart locks the hard drive when it senses a fall, in an attempt to save the hard drive and your data.
  • HP TrueVision HD webcam – The HD webcam should deliver a better than average video chat experience in Skype and Google+ Hangouts.

ENVY Sleekbook & ENVY Ultrabook Battery Life

The HP ENVY Sleekbook models claim up to 9 hours of battery life. The 15.6-inch Ultrabook also claims 9 hours of battery life, but the 14-inch ENVY Ultrabook is limited to 8 hours.

These stats will likely shrink by 20% in the real world as users crank up the screen brightness and use resource intensive programs, but that should still deliver 6-7 hours of battery life.

The HP ENVY Ultrabook models will be available on May 9th, as will the 14-inch Sleekbook. The 15.6-inch Sleekbook will not arrive until JUne 20th.
