    I skimmed through that (sort of) a few days ago.

    But right now, I have absolutely no concerns with the envy's performance and reliability. I had doubts about Sony, but definitely not for HP.

    My problem still lies in whether I should just bear with the normal screen and buy the envy, if I should wait for the envy refresh, and whether I should ignore portability and turn to 15 inch laptops (like xps 15) instead.

    Maybe I'll even invest 200 bucks in a nice big monitor to compensate for the low res of envy when I'm using it at home.

    Will keep you guys updated on my research and decisions. Really on the wall right now tho. =(

    If you turn to the XPS 15 you would have to get the 1920x1080 display to consider that laptop, because the 1366x768 display in the XPS 15 is worse than the Envy's display and worse than most budget-class laptop displays.

    Regarding portability and weight, My Precision M4400 is heavier than the XPS 15 and I don't have any issues carrying it.

    And the XPS 15 isn't all that heavy, it's just thick at one end.
