any idea on a release date ?

before Black Friday ?? (probably not, but one can hope)

Envy could use Core i5 (Arrandale), which means it launches after CES in January.

So soon? Damn, I'm typing this in my Envy 15 now and this make me think that perhaps there will be a version out there, either the 14 or a 15 refresh that will have what I'm looking for...

Edge to edge glass for real this time, preferably Radiance-level display for this price range.
Core i7 or i5.
48xx, 47xx, or 58xx gfx
Backlit keyboard.

Honestly the Envy 15 is pretty damn near perfect except for the lack of backlit keyboard and edge to edge glass Radiance display.

If I had to guess the Envy 14 will slot in between the two other Envys. Probably Arrandale core i7, but only the dual core medium power versions (which can go in the Envy 13 also). No way they try a 4830 or 58xx graphics card. More likely something in the 45xx or 55xx series. No optical disk to keep the weight under 5 pounds.

Hopefully they consider the high res screen options - certainly 900p but hopefully 1080p. High resolution screens in smaller laptops are an underserved market. Font technology is such that everyone should want more pixels on smaller screens.

anybody know anything about an update for the aged HDX16s? I NEED an HDX 16 with core I7 BAD. Thanks.

Doubt you'll see anything before Q1 2010..
