    I mean, it really is one of their better laptops. Sure it's not the powerhouse that the Envy 15 is, but really it's a well built portable laptop with great battery life. It's just missing a few things:

    1. Ethernet port: I can understand not needing an optical drive, but Ethernet is still the godfather of connectivity. There's really no reason why they shouldn't manage to fit one in.

    2. Better Screen resolution: This is a premium machine that asks for a premium price, the least we should get is 800 pixels vertically. That being said, people have said it has an amazing screen, still ... The Vaio Z manages 1080p on a 13.1" screen ... And I'm only bringing it up because the Z at it's base price is in the asking price of the Envy 13.

    I'm really looking for a new laptop and I was considering going to Apple. But a recent trip to Best Buy just made me realize I wanted to use Windows 7 over any version of OSX.

    Anyone heard anything about an Envy 13 refresh?
