HP Envy 14 Review – Overall, an incredible value from HP!
April 14th, 2011 | 
The new HP Envy 14 strikes an interesting balance between style and performance. The all-aluminum chassis design most certainly borrowed design elements from the Macbook Pro, but HP has added enough additional features to make it worth looking at.
The base model comes loaded with a Core i3-370M, 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650, 4GB of RAM, and a 320GB HDD. Given that the machine also includes HDMI, mini-Display Port, and Gigabit Ethernet as standard options, it appears to be a halfway decent price/performance proposition.
In search of more horsepower? You can go all the way up to a Core i7-840Q with 8GB of DDR3, but don’t be surprised when you see the bill! 
All in all, this looks like an incredible value from HP!
