The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

This is the 'second wave' of rumors that have hit the interwebz. The last wave was around december. Hopefully they're ripe for a spring release, I want myself an Envy 17 if they can still keep it around 1.2" thick or less. Oh and stick a 5850 GDDR5 or 5870 in there.
I wouldn't mind to get a redesign to get rid of the swirly flowers on the back of the lid either...
I like how the beats edition looks but don't like 'beats'.
It's all going to depend what they put in them. Aside from having just bought an Envy 15, I'd be interested in an Envy 14 if they could find a really good middle ground between the current 13 and 15. Something like i3 and i5 processors only, HD 5700 series, 4-8 GB DDR3, and at least a single SSD options - two would be better. Most of all, I'd love to see them increase the default battery's capacity. 5-6 hours on a charge during real world usage (Internet and videos) would be great - perhaps switchable graphics would take care of this problem?
hm.. not only putting all great spec but also Hp needs to look into their quality control. Envy needs some heat management. they are great building monster thin laptop but quality and heat need to be manage.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
