    Hi guys,
    im in the need of a new laptop and ive been doing alot of reading on this forum and also the envy forums to decide on which i finally pick.
    A month ago i order an Envy 14 beats with a core i7 and i really liked it i ended up returning it though since i found out that the new SB Envy was coming out and i could also take advantage of the free xbox deal.
    but now that ive been waiting i keep reading about how the envy is just not being as "premium" as it should be. i liked the Envy when i had it it was a stylish sexy look, but now that i read more about it, i think i can get more bang for my buck by buying a Dv6Tqe. with the 1080p blue ray screen touch, finger print sensor and a better graphics card i think
    what do you guys suggest between a Dv6tqe or the upcoming Envy 14 SB??
    I will be using the laptop for gaming and some photoshop editing, not intense just regular beginner stuff.
    Also are there any more 300$ coupons that i could use? i tried using some that i goggled but i keep getting this message

    "The coupon entered does not apply to the items in your shopping cart. Please review the coupon for products included in this offer."

    i would like to stay on the 1000 $ range 1200 max after using the coupon.
    Thanks for any replies on helping this newb :)
