So, I got to spend the night at my gf's house. Her dad got a new HP envy 15", and I got to play with it:) Here are some things I noticed about it. The screen color seemed off or somehow messed. This reminded me of my hp 17" that I had because it did the same thing. For example, ebay was washed out, even though the color settings were on normal. The keyboard clicks were louder and not as soft to press. The battery lasted almost 2 hours just going online with wireless on. I didn't have anything to test the graphics with. It had W7 on an i7 processor, but I didn't notice anything speedy. I always hear everyone complaining about the mbp's heat issues, but I could NOT believe how hot this got when I started watching a video on hulu! It was so hot that I just did not feel comfortable typing on it, let alone put it on my lap! It was almost unbelievable! This was less than 2 week old. If it didn't have the HP logo in the center, I would have thought it was a cheap asian kock-off! I asked her why her dad had gotten this? Her reply was, "It was free from work!" She has a 13" MBP:D
The thing I hated the most was the Enter key! OMG!!!

For that price, at least make the nock-off worth it!!!

OK, I'm done…

EDIT: oops, 2 instead of 4
