    Just so people know, the 4830 has only 640 SP's where the 5830 has 800. The Gen2 Envy is a fair bit better than this one.

    That said, this package includes the extra slice battery (normally $175), the high resolution screen upgrade, and a good bit of memory. It will have 4 slots (2 easily accessible) for a maximum RAM capacity of 16GB.

    Dumb question I'm sure, but SP's? What's that an acronym for?
