    Im currently wading through the 500 page owners thread, but I thought I might be able to get an immediate response here.

    Im looking for the i5 model of the Envy 15 with the 5830 video card - doesnt seem to be available here in the UK unless I use an importer on ebay, which I am not sure I want to go ahead and do (mainly warranty concerns).

    Anyone have any ideas or advice?

    If I cant Im goiing to go with a Sony Vaio F with the i5 Processsor, but my preference at the moment is for the HP if I can get it.

    I'm not sure if its possible for them to ship to the UK... but I live in Canada, and only the Gen 1 Envy 15's are available, so I bought one off of a Power Seller on Ebay (i5, 5830) and got it shipped to Canada.

    warranty applies to all of north america.

    See if power sellers will ship to UK.

    I already posted this on the envy 17 thread because someone was asking the same question as well - go to hidevolution.com
    im gonna do that as well but im waiting till next week to see if theyre doing a quiet upgrade to the 15. we can dream, right?
    postage is expensive though.. its $95 to the uk and youre going to have to deal with import taxes. you can chat to their customer service and ask if theres a way to reduce it tho, theyre awesome.

    oh and forgot to add - theyre an authorised reseller so the laptop will come with a fresh warranty. they say its international as well.

    Thanks for the offer Andre - but I have actually decided to purchse the Sony Vaio F11.

    Pretty disappointed with HPs support of the Envy models in the UK.
