The updated HP Envy 15 has premium design
and performance for a decent price, plus swanky extras such as a backlit
keyboard and physical volume control wheel
The new look is quite a departure from that of previous Envys. Made of aluminum and magnesium, in a dark gunmetal gray with a black base, the original Envy laptops had a subtle pattern of imprinted squares covering the wrist rest and the back of the lid, creating an overall unique signature. The new version has more of a two-tone design, with a black lid and keyboard contrasted against a silver tray. The most unusual visual feature is a subtle red stripe around the inner edge of the sunken keyboard--a touch of retro-futurism, perhaps.
As a fan of the original Envy design, I have to admit I'm not quite as
sold on this new look just yet. It certainly isn't ugly, but it also
doesn't feel as sophisticated as HP's even newer Envy Spectre laptop,
spotted at CES 2012 and coming soon in a 14-inch version. If anything,
the new look of the Envy hews much closer to the MacBook Pro than
before. While open, it's nearly indistinguishable from a MacBook Pro at
first glance. Only the sunken keyboard and red accents give it away.
