Re: COMING SOON: ENVY 15-32XX Intel Ivy Bridge (AMD 7750M)
It's a pain in the butt, since you have to remove a whole ton of screws to get to where you can actually replace the CPU, but it's not difficult per se - once you get the machine open it's just a matter of dropping the new one in and repasting for the most part.
GPUs are typically not upgradeable, though, and I don't think any Envys are exceptions to the rule.Old - Inspiron 1420 - T7500, 8400M GS, 3GB DDR2, 250GB 5400 RPM, Win 7 HP 64

Re: COMING SOON: ENVY 15-32XX Intel Ivy Bridge (AMD 7750M)
not gonna lie... i highly doubt that the mbp will dissappoint, its going to be a beautiful machine. the specs will prolly tie with envy (or envy will have a slight edge) but like always.... mac will prolly be thinner but run hotter. it will ahve less quality problems and faults. but it will have like a +$1k price compared to the envy.... if you got the money i would prolly go for mbp. but since i hate osx, and i dont got that much money (only 1.5k) i go envy

its going to be interesting if mbp turns out to have "retina display" with fhd+ res... i bet other companies will be in hot pursuit next year but unfortunately it will be too late
maybe if i hit the lottery next year/have the money (lottery probably more likely cause ima be a college student lol
) ill upgrade to a high res envy

I bet they will just scale up the icons and stuffs. Otherwise, "true retina" + rumored thinner body = less battery life vs. larger battery to compensate like the iPad 3. And as far as we know, the IB CPUs (regardless of quad or dual) won't increase the battery time significantly.
Apple fanboys:"omg my laptop is retina ready"..

Re: COMING SOON: ENVY 15-32XX Intel Ivy Bridge (AMD 7750M)
to all of those that are wondering the price...
New Products - Aquila Technology
the envy 14 spectre is $2,067.12 (#419)
similarly priced envy 14 spectre in the hp shop is $1,399.99 (I think this is the closest configuration as described in the link description... this is late at night so i might have missed something)
so a 47.65% markup
the new envy iis $2,406.66 (#152)
getting rid of the 47.65% markup we get ~$1260
for the price of a similarly configured envy 15
the envy 17 right now is $150 more than the 15
so ~$1410 for envy 17
the 3d 17 is about $350 more than the 17
so ~1760 for the envy 17 3d.
remember this is just speculation (mine) and this is the price i would estimate without the coupons of a similarly configured laptopPrevious Laptop: Toshiba Satallite A215 | 15" 1280x800 | Athlon 64 x2 TK - 53 | 2 gb ram | Radeon x1200 | 1 minute battery life -_- <- crappy aint it?

Re: COMING SOON: ENVY 15-32XX Intel Ivy Bridge (AMD 7750M)
I agree that the Dell looks good. Do you know if they ever fixed the power cord falling out of the xps yet? Last time I looked at the xps series (a few months ago) the design had not changed and the darn thing would keep falling out every time you breathed on it after you owned it for a few months. There were a lot of "hack" fixes but again if you pay that much $ you shouldn't have to fix anyting.
