In the mix between slim & light and the nice looks of Apple’s latest MacBook Pros we have new laptops from HP – the ENVY 13 and ENVY 15, named after their 13 and 15 inch screens respectively. Both laptops are enclosed in an aluminium/magnesium body with a Macbook-style glass single-button trackpad and are set to launch on October 18 pre-loaded with Windows 7.
The ENVY 13 is the smaller and less powerful of the two laptops. It packs a 13.1″ WXGA display with excellent colors and brightness, a Core 2 Duo processor and discrete Radeon 4330 graphics and manages to pack a battery life of 7 hours, or 18 (supposedly) with the Slim Fit extended life battery. It also only weighs 1.7 kg and comes with a price tag of US$1,699
The ENVY 15 is the 13′s big brother, incorporating an Intel Core i7 CPU, Radeon HD 4830 graphics with 1GB of VRAM, room for dual-SSDs and a nice 15.3″ display. Although it’s more powerful, it’s also heavier (2.3 kg) and has a shorter battery life, only managing 7 hours of life with the Slim Fit battery attached. It’s price tag is also larger, pulling a price of US$1,799
