I want this so bad. No. I NEED this so bad. This is the sickest laptop. so much nicer than the air. I have a MBA, a dell, an hp, and another macbook. I like the macbook but i HATE the MBA and i NEED to replace it. My hp's have been doing me absolute wonders for years, and this envy will only compliment them so well. I don't even think I'll sell the air... i might just throw it out my nyc apt. HAHA

At first I thought this was a great laptop but soon realize its only a decent laptop. First, this should not be called a gaming laptop because it doesn't have the specs to be a gaming laptop. The graphics card is not up to snuff. A gamer only needs to read "intel integrated graphics" and move on. While it can play most games adequately, the title gaming laptop comes with expectations that this laptop doesn't meet.

As a general purpose laptop, its a great one with lots of nice features. But holy cow is it overpriced. If you want that red paint job its an extra $500. The solid state drive is extra as well and on and on. By the time I finished configuring the model that I wanted, the price was already $3600. For $3600, I expect pretty much the best parts.

Also, this laptop was suppose to have built in noise canceling. Has that feature been dropped because I haven't read any articles pointing it out

Well, I wouldn't consider the Envy a decent laptop, maybe if compared to a mainstream laptop then yes it would be. But in ultraportables, it is actually very good. Because of its size, there is now way it could be a gaming laptop.

You are right though, on the price. But since every Envy laptop is handmade and the whole body is of carbon fiber (which is black by nature) it is costly, especially since they have to dye the carbon fiber to give it a different color; yet generally the smaller laptops come at a higher price so $3600 is a lot, but it sure is better than the Macbook Air (the air doesn't ship with a DVD drive).

This is an awesome laptop!

I don't know enough to guess what the "3rd good thing" is so I just wish it 's an Envy-style TABLET with an iPhone-style UI! Please!

I'm mostly an Apple fanboy, but this has got me drooling. Well done, HP!
(I'll probably find some secret way to install OSX on it)
