"Could care less" idiomatically means the same thing as "couldn't care less". But I think you must have already known that, as did everyone else here...

nope still looks like only the malaysian market is getting the above.....
dont think it will be long to wait though.....lol.. at least it is the black beats edition..

 

Lol really

Anyone know when its going to be up on the site?

 

If its still going to keep the 1366x768 with no upgradeable option than to me it's not worth buying .

 

According to someone a couple posts up, HP usually puts it on the website at midnight California time.

 

Damn thats 4 AM for New Jersey.

 

4am for me too, 2 hours away think ima sleep lol

 

Its a comfortable 5.00pm for Sydney, Australia

 

IT IS OFFICIALLY JUNE 15

 

You might want to double check your math on that one.

 

Doesn't appear to be anything up yet.

 

Maybe it is june 15th 2012

 

keep trying with Ctrl+F5

 

HP are probably wondering why the Envy sections page views just increased 10 fold lol

 

They are probably sleeping like normal people. haha.

 

Good morning Has nothing happened yet?

this is the new specs

 

Not quite. Scroll to the bottom and there are 2 dead give-aways. First, the inclusion of the Radiance screen. Second, the graphics cards is the 5650, so this is still old info.

 

No, that is the old specs, and the brochure was also about the Envy 13 and 15, who doesn't even exist anymore Aw, you got me all excited!

 

Old specs are old.

 

oh I didnt think they made a 13'' envy LOL I thought it was new

 

Also, it says at the bottom that is was printed in April 2010

 

Jesus I was so happy when I saw the Radiance..then went to the bottom and saw the 5650 -_-

 

is HP BrightView Infinity LED Display better than radiance diaplay??

 

No...............

It may be up when its midnight in Hawaii, several online video game downloads use that as the final time zone.

 

im going to bed, let me know if they are out!

 

Damn, that means another 2 hours wait.

 

Still nothing.

 

Hopefully HP have realised the mistake they have made by not fitting a high res screen or a 6750 graphics card.

 

You guys realize that there are constantly radiance screens up on ebay that you can install, right?

 

I did a few searches and found nothing.

 

Besides from the fact there is only 1 up on ebay US and 0 on ebay UK, they cost $300 and are used.

Also they might not be compatible with the new envy 14 and you would also void the warranty.

 

If I remember right, the original E14 release ended up coming at a pretty random time in the day. I think they use Schrodinger's button-pushing machine to put their refreshes up on the site - at any given moment in the day of the release, an imaginary quantum cat may or may not push an imaginary quantum button that uploads the site update making the refreshed E14 available.

 

They also could fry the graphics card and ruin your mobo if the new resolution is not supported. Of course with an upgraded graphics card in this ENVY it shouldn't be a problem.

 

Hahaha! Sure sounds like HP (or any other big company, for that matter) alright

 

Any nice reviews I can read about the Envy 14 whilst I wait for the refresh to come out? I am currently debating buying either the Envy 14, MBP 15", or Dell XPS 15z.

Thanks!

 

This one is good: HP Envy 14 review -- Engadget

 

Started reading it and then had to turn my head and look away after they raved about the radiance display.

 

I know.. but all the last-gen reviews will rave about the radiance display.. I think it was one of the best written reviews on the last gen Envy anyway. But I also scrolled veryvery fast when I came to that section now, haha

 

Review HP Envy 14 Beats Edition Notebook - Notebookcheck.net Reviews

 

Bah... why is battery life so low .

If it had at least 5 hours it would be an easy buy. But the MBP and Dell XPS 15z have much better battery life.

 

Should be better with the SB update!

 

1. Anyone who researches the Envy can easily see the Beats audio offering, seeing as how they have an Envy Beats edition. It's much easier to tell that HP has some sort of special audio thing going when you see the Beats edition on the website. You're going to see more interest in the Radiance screen on a forum like this. But, for example, the average teenager who might want this laptop is much more familiar with "Beats by Dr Dre" than "Radiance."

2. The Envy is one of the few laptops that I've seen commercials for lately that sticks out in my head. Sure there may be some Dell commercials, but the Envy commercial with the family that gets robbed sticks out in my head. I think that with that in mind, there's a good possibility that a good portion of consumers may be aware of the Envy.

 

Without a 1600x900 this machine is dead to me.

I was really hoping for something to bring me back from Apple.

 

Wait......... is it confirmed that it wont have a 1600x900 or anything higher than the 1380????

 

Nothing is written in stone yet, but looking at the spec sheet from HP's malaysia website the screen will be a crappy low resolution one.

 

Wow, well I really hope this model is different than the one in Malaysia....

 

afaik with the previous envy 14 radiance was only in us, hope is the only thing left

 

Of course it is possible that early adopters could get screwed if later HP finds a new screen supplier and get some decent screen in as an option.

 

Which they did with the new dv6/dv7 QE
