Making Competitors Green With Envy: A Review of the HP ENVY 14-3010NR
The first of its kind in the laptop arena, the HP ENVY 14-3010NR is a multi surface, ultra durable glass notebook that turns standard laptop design on its head. Fusing three layers of ultra strong glass to an aluminum body gives the laptop a stunning, ultra thin body, and still packs in all of the performance you have come to expect from Hewlett Packard.
Whether you want to stream your movies, and media wirelessly to your HDTV through the built in WiDi adapter, or you want to connect directly via HDMI or the mini Display Port, the options for system convergence are many. If you are more inclined, the HP ENVY 14-3010NR does well with an HD quality, 14 inch Radiance Infinity LCD screen, and going up to 1600 x 900 for an ultra sharp resolution. Even without using an HP promo code, a price point of $1199 makes this an impressive investment.
Performance Defined
Powered by an Intel Core i5-2467M Processor, the HP ENVY 14-3010NR clocks out at 1.6 GHz, and when the Turbo Boost is thrown in, impressive clock speeds of 2.30 GHz can be achieved. As a compliment, the ENVY has 4 GBs of DDR RAM and a large cache of L3 dedicate memory, making intense multi-tasking a breeze. The HD Graphics 3000 card provides 1.6 GB of video RAM, while the hard drive uses a solid state with 128 GB of capacity.
Audio Awesomeness

HP has exclusive rights to this technology in the mobile realm.
