    Seems like Behemoth2302 has posted a video on Youtube yesterday with first impressions of HP Envy 14.

    Check it out here.

    It's actually erathostenes, he's only the first here on NBR to receive his ENVY 14. He pre-ordered his from HP Germany and has been helping us out with mini reviews and impressions on the http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-owners-lounge-forum/493715-official-hp-envy-14-owners-lounge.html

    From that video alone the screen looks amazing, that's one good thing about HP's they always have above average screens.
    I don't need another laptop but I'm so tempted, if it came with a black matte finish without the patterns on the lid I would be sold.

    It's not bad, if I needed to buy a new laptop this would be one of the few on my list saying that I don't need one and the few cosmetic faults(very,very minor and not really faults just me being picky or trying to convince myself not to buy one...lol) are not my style.
    I just wish it came with a color option the "champagne" is nice but not what I'm looking for.
    All in all more than likely I'll end up getting one anyway :)

    Wow, nice looking laptop. The pattern was what really turned me off it, but it actually looks quite good with the darker finish, compared to the pictures on the HP website. I would have bought it for sure if I saw this video beforehand.
