General Key Features (Envy 13 Envy 15):

HP QuickWeb allows customers to access key applications without booting
the PC. In less than 30 seconds, users can access the Internet, music,
videos and photos, and
email.
HP Clickpad integrates the buttons into the touchpad and allows for
fluid movements, while also allowing users to disable the clickpad if
desired.
The keyboard's direct-action keys (versus typical function keys) allow
users to quickly access often-used commands such as print and volume
adjustment.
Minimal desktop clutter and trial software adds to notebooks' simplicity.
An optional external optical drive complements the Envy design and gives
users the flexibility to carry the extra weight only when necessary. Two
USB ports also transform the drive into a dock for additional capability.
Both the Envy 13 and 15 are presented in streamlined paper carton boxes
using minimal ink. Included in the packaging is a simplified setup
poster and documentation contained within an SD card.
According to HP's press release both the HP Envy 13 and the i7 touting
HP Envy 15 are set to begin shipping in the US from October 18th with
unit pricing coming in at just shy of $1,700 and $1,800 respectively.
