    Is this a good HP 14 Envy price? It looks weird.

    That's a Pavilion, not an Envy. It is incorrectly labeled.

    If you are looking for a value price HP Envy 14 I suggest you buy it from the HP Outlet store, thing is these are refurbished PCs and you'll have to order by phone. But if you're in the States it's free.

    Thanks, I guess I would have to call in. It's hard to look up the specs on those HP envy's too. It looks like they only have 13.3" envy's without dedicated gpus.

    I notice that Sam's Club has the Envy 14 listed for $998, i5-460m, 4GB, 640GB.

    HP Envy Notebook, 2.53GHz, 640GB, 14.5" LED - Sam's Club

    They also have a 90-day return policy on computers, which is nice. Just FYI... Oh, and add something like $30 to the cost if you don't already have a membership there.

    Do the bottom 3 really have 'em in store? Their online stores have it, but no stores near me have it "available" if I type in my zipcode.

    Yep, you need a membership for Sam's Club. That's the $30 additional cost I mentioned in my original post on the topic. To me, the $30 is worth it for the peace of mind of the 90-day return policy, and the membership can be canceled (and the fee refunded) at any time.
