Gizmodo reviews HP's 15-inch Envy notebook: "Cheap"
Mark Wilson from a December 1 review:
But once removed [from the box], I can’t distinguish this $1,800 laptop from any random PC on a table at Best Buy. HP’s premium laptop, one that’s been oooh’d and ahhh’d ad nauseam, could have been a $600 budget system.
One inch thick, lacking an optical drive, and 5.2 pounds of absolute MacBook ripoff. Just look at the hinge and how that keyboard is recessed. I guess the distinguishing touch is the way the trackpad bulges into the recession like that drunk family member no one invited to Christmas.
The kicker: 1 hour and 20 minutes of battery life in a standard web browsing test with WiFi on and the display at 3/4 brightness. This about sums it up:
HP is the new Dell. Disregarding their impressive TouchSmart desktops, HP has built the quintessential drab PC laptop and labeled it as “designer.”
“Envy” indeed.
