    The Envy 15 is also now configurable with an i5. Cute how it now has a cheaper base price than the Envy 13.

    PS: Oh, and a couple of minis out as well.

    New CPU and a new GPU... 4550? Surprised it's not a 5-series.
    Also disappointed that they still don't have an LED option.

    yeah - HP is so odd like that - they'll price a new laptop w/new processors (the envy in this case) really high and then when a newer unit comes out with the same specs, they price it lower and don't lower the price on the first unit!

    you can literally count the months inbetween where you have two laptops, similar specs and hundreds of dollars of a price difference between them. it sucks for those that don't realize this but i am sure people on this forum do their due diligence before jumping on a unit.

    Man, pricing for the i5 Envy looks really good. Plus they got 5830 in there as well. And I just got myself Dell Studio 17 :(.
