    Yeah, what? I just found it tonight on YouTube, hoping someone has posted an Envy 17 3D SB video...but alas, no civilian has posted....but I can't believe HP made this long ad...

    See at your own risk, but it is disturbing and I'm still not sure what HP was thinking about when they made this. :eek: :D What do you guys think? It might be the SB version.....I wasn't sure.


    YouTube - HP Envy: First class all the way

    P.S. Hope we can get our own videos up once some of us get our Envy's. :)

    KJ :cool:

    What the hell. That's the most pointless commercial I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of pointless commercials.

    Is the Envy showing in 2:44 on that video in black color, or my eyes just playing games on me?

    Naw, its just the lid of the Envy is in deep shadow, that's all. I noticed even when I had mine, you need a good light source to see the details of the etching and a nice beautiful shine...although not exagerated, still beautiful.

    My point of posting this more than "strange" video...was trying to gadge just what HP is saying with it? That Envy 17 3D consumers are men with bad hair pieces and strange/scary women stalkers that lick laptops and play with over sized stuffed animals...sheesh.... HP..... :rolleyes:

    There are better ways to show a first class laptop...but then again, I'm not in advertising.

    P.S. 2.0 not sure if I should have posted here, or in off topic. Please move if needed, thanks. ;)

    I don't have to tell you that the ad plays on the idea that the laptop causes Envy. I wouldn't look much deeper into this failed humor than that, my friend.

    Well, at least they can't possibly air that on TV. I feel like I've lost 3 minutes of my life that I will never be able to get back.
