Envy 15: Alternative to the laser-etched skin?

I'm finding that I really like the capabilities of the Envy 15. However I went into a Microsoft store today to take a look at it and it had an almost beige-grey chasis with a very feminine laser-etched design on the cover. When I asked one of the workers if there was an alternative, they said that HP didn't make anything else.

I don't really trust the employees there, and I really hope that this is not true. I've found pictures so far of Envy 15 with a plain silver finish, but on the HP website their doesn't seem to be any option for it. Did anyone manage to get one without the floral patterns on the cover?

 

The Envy13 has no etching and the Envy15 Beats Edition is black, with no etching and a Beats logo, but it costs $700 more.

 

It takes a certain light to actually be able to see the pattern.. most of the time you can't really tell. Honestly, I'm a guy, and I think it looks kinda cool, and most of my friends thought it looked nice too. It's not overly feminine.. it's a nice design, pleasing to the eyes. It's a pretty subdued look.

But yeah if it really worries you that much, the Beats is the only way to go, and I gotta say it's not worth the extra money. If you order it and find that you can't stand the pattern, you can always return it within 21 days no questions asked, full refund.
