    I am seriously confused about the new HP naming convention. It would help if someone can help me break it down into a family-tree of some sort.
    So you have the Envy line-up which consist of Spectre, Spectre xt, and the beautiful 14. But The envy line-up also includes the 14t, 15t, dv4, dv5, dv6, dv7, ....
    Okay, I'm lost.
    Not to mention, you have the Sleekbookk and the Ultrabooks. OMG! CONFUSED!

    Basically I want to see where the HP 4-1115dx Touchsmart belongs. It is an exclusive Best Buy model.
    Which thread do I even post to regarding all the owners of that line? HDX forums? Lol!

    Many people are confused, Here's the breakdown of what HP now offers and the order of premium to budget branding:

    1. Spectre - Top of the line premium design, metal materials and composites used
    2. ENVY - Quality build and design, metal materials used
    3. Pavilion (and Pavilion Sleekbook) - Budget build and design, think glossy finish and plastic case
    4. 2000-Series - Budget with plastic build and utilitarian design.

    The HP 4-1115dx is a fixed configuration of the HP ENVY 4t TouchSmart on HP.com:
