UPDATED (WITH VIDEOS): ENVY 4 / ENVY 6 Now Available; ENVY 13 SPECTRE XT Announced

[neon10th]

I am all for the Envy 4 if there is AT LEAST a 1600x900 screen option. Please!

I cant wait to hear more about this. I hope the 6 is 15.6 like some of you are speculating

the only downside to this is that if it is just the 15 in then that more than likely means it will stay the same design as it is now (which just came out so very very unlikely to change ) meaning not more gaming oriented with an odd.....

or it has a beastin amd card

What are the chances HP will have ips screen with same problems of the 15 on these new models :/...

[ratcherd]

i would say... ZERO. i looked at these laptops at the microsoft store the other day, browsed netflix and everything... honestly cant see what the big deal is. maybe im colorblind.

Let's hope they downclock the GPU like they did to the HD 5650 two years ago!

If the Envy 6 is a 15.6" like the current Envy 15, then I'd say 50% - the vocal minority is upset about the color issue so that motivates them to get a different panel, but the silent masses just accept it as far as HP knows or cares. If it costs them more to change the panel, it becomes a tricky decision.

However, if the Envy 4 is a 14 incher, they'll be using a different panel in all likelihood, maybe not even IPS, so I wouldn't expect the same issue to occur there.

By "these laptops" I assume you mean the current-generation Envy 15 and 17? The Envy 4 and Envy 6 haven't even been officially announced as far as I know, there have just been some model numbers dug up to imply their forthcoming existence.

Sad face. That's been my biggest gripe with my Envy 14. Well, that and the fan grinding that started several months ago, primarily when running on battery power. If it's a 14 with any gaming capability at all, let's hope that it's 28 nm and runs at stock clocks rather than being a refreshed 40 nm card and/or gimped by the manufacturer. It wasn't just that the 5650m in the Envy 14 was gimped, but the cards themselves were lower quality, so half of the owners who tried overclocking couldn't even reach stock clocks without artifacting.

I think there is an update coming soon.

On the HP store page, if you click on Laptops -> Envy, it says "We're sorry, the page requested was not found"

i also hope for the best for this model. especially hp envy 6. they have numpad, 4 usb port(2 usb 2.0 and 2 usb 3.0) and backlit keyboard and the envy class will use nvidia as main graphic card. =)

Envy 4 probably a 14'' Ivy Bridge (?)
Envy 6 probably a 16'' Ivy Bridge like the old HDX line (?)
If that's true, where is the 17'' Envy 7 (?)

i really miss the hdx. the design was really magnificent. And i hope this time envy could resurrect the hdx soul in envy body. hehe
