HP Envy 13 Review
Oct 6 2009, 1:38am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr
Engadget has published a full review of the sexy new HP Envy 13 notebook. HP unveiled the new stylish Envy 13 and Envy 15 notebook line two weeks ago. The new Envy notebooks will be shipping on October 18th just in time for the Windows 7 launch.
There will be tons more notebook announcements over the coming two weeks as we get closer to the Windows 7 launch.
Quote from the HP Envy 13 review: "Overall we're very conflicted about the Envy 13. Hardware wise it's one of our favorite laptops ever, but the trackpad almost destroys all of that good will built up by the other elements -- no matter how great a laptop is, if it's painful to interact with on the go (without an external mouse), what's the point? We also have to say that Windows 7 doesn't make this laptop crazy delicious in any particular manner.
It's certainly a better OS than Vista, but it's not so much better to make it a huge selling point in our book or a lure for folks who don't normally walk the Windows path, since many of the traditional pitfalls are still present."
