    All,

    I noticed that costco was offering a version of the envy x2 with a 128gb ssd for $100 more than the 64gb version. Which wouldn't really be a big thing if it wasn't for the fact that the envy x2 is based on clovertrail which only supports 64gb emmc storage, so you can't put 128gb in one.

    So I went to HPs site and tried to build one, and sure enough there is a 128gb option but it gives you a error that you need to select a different processor whenever you pick it.

    So is there a version of the envy x2 coming with an i series cpu and 128gb ssd. It list it as having 7+ hrs of battery life, probably with the dock attached if its an i series cpu.

    Anyone have info on this yet?

    I don't believe there are any plans for a Core i, at least what I've heard from HP. I do see now that there's another processor option that's just the Intel Atom but with 128GB SSD option. I don't doubt you're right about the 64gb emmc storage support limit (unaware of this myself) but HP must be finding some way around this if they're now presenting the option.
