    What I would really like is for the envy 15 to have switchable graphics, backlit keyboard, no heating issues and for the screen to be open to a wider angle than it can currently. :)
    And then for me to be able to afford one...lol

    They lie about the battery life. The 14 inch Beats edition still only gets 3.75 max with an 8 cell battery. I don't know why they cannot improve on battery power?! That is the only thing stopping me from buying one!

    That conflicts with reports from Envy 14 owners here:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-envy-hdx/501066-envy-14-battery-life-log.html

    Are you talking about i5 or i7 option? Some owners have reported 7 hours with the 8-cell with the i5 with bluetooth turned off and screen brightness dialed down to 40%.
