    I own an Envy 14 and it's a great notebook, except for the fact that I never got the 4-hour battery life advertised (it was more like 2.5 to 3 hours). I kinda like the design of the new Envy 15 (the up and down cursor keys are a bit of a turn off, but negligible) and I was wondering about the battery life.

    The HP site at HP Envy15 | HP Envy states up to 6.5 hours of battery life. So my question for those who've got the new Envy 15, what processor does your notebook have and what's the battery life like?

    No one has one yet. I ordered mine on the 7th. Due to ship on the 23rd. I'm interested in bat life as well. I got the i5 hoping to get at least 4-5 hours. My core i7 Envy 14 gets about 1:45 at best.
