    It was my understanding that it is not possible to order any configuration of the Envy 14 that will come with USB 3.0.

    However, I spoke with a phone rep (I know they are famous for misinformation), who told me that the Envy 14 model with quad-core i7 comes with USB 3.0 in the shared esata/USB port. I didn't see any documentation confirming this anywhere on the site.

    There is no USB3 with the envy 4, if there was HP would market the hell out of it like the other envy laptops with USB3 in their main page.

    Which is stupid, don't know why they left it out, i really wanted USB3.
