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

I really hope HP doesn't one day decide to abandon us gamers in favor of producing only low-performance ultrabooks and heavy gaming brick machines. I'm sure there are alternatives out there, but I haven't taken a shine to them. Dell aped Apple's Macbook Pro with the XPS 15z but didn't even bother to put in a good GPU. If I wanted to go with Dell, I'd have to settle for a heavy gaming brick. As someone who expects to have to carry his notebook a lot of places and use it for moderate gaming, that's not an option.

im in the same exact situation as you. maybe in the future ill buy dem hefty gaming laptops but for right now I dont have that luxury :|

Here's hoping for a true gaming laptop, with a voodoo envy/hdx look.

Just making a guess, but I think the ENVY 4 is a 14.5"-ish....

If your guess is right, that would be a great size (in my opinion).

So it means that Envy 6 is worse than existing Envy 15? What's the point of even making it? Highly doubt it's true.

Some more exciting notes:

There is an entry for "HP Envy 4-1000 Notebook PC Series" and also "HP Envy17-4000 Notebook PC Series" , but unfortunately there is no specs doc posted for either of those yet. But, I found some pictures in the getting started doc was under the Envy 4 and 6. Don't know if this is just a reused doc or pics of the new laptops...







Not sure if the pictures are showing up right so here is the links:

dont tell me hp is going to bring a budget envy liineup :| I really hope those are like the lowest specs and that you can upgrade it to i7 and 7750m or something like that otherwise a dissappointment. Also from the images, doesnt it look like the previous model? (not the late 2011 new one) hmm I wonder what they are planning

[necrophyte]

i5-2... & radeon 76.. means NO ivy bridge and NO 22nm radeon.

> budget envy line (=fail)

hope to see some high-end specs on the envy 17-4000, preferably 3d, with NO LESS than an i7 IB quad & (not underclocked) radeon 7800m and thunderbolt.
anything less would be a fail as well.
and please bring back the nice flowery top cover design from the 1000 & 2000 series instead of the boring one from the 3000 series, at least as an option for guys like me who like girlie-like designs although not being one.

2560x1600 res would also be a good idea on the 17'', if copying macbook pros is the way to go for envies. it would be even better if it was not copied from mbp.i
