The HP Envy 15 is ushering in USB 3.0 by becoming the first notebook from a mainstream brand to offer the new interface. USB 3.0 will come standard on models configured with a Core i7 CPU and the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5830 GPU. The HP EliteBook will be getting the same treatment within the coming weeks. Exciting, I know.
If you can’t wait for the good times to start rolling, head over to HP Direct where you can configure an Envy 15 with USB 3.0 for only $1,449. Or you can buy the Seagate BlackArmor PS 110 500GB kit that comes with an USB 3.0 ExpressCard adapter and update your current notebook.
More importantly: Does the Touchpad still suck monkey balls?
It still does.. Lol
Windows 7 is going to be the belle of the ball in the next few months so expect lots of machines like the Envy to hit stores. While that price is fairly rough, there will be few options for folks who want the Win7 Pro experience. Preview: http://bit.ly/hp-envy-is-worth-it
probably. big monkey balls.
Except for the fact that the HP Envy does not have an express card port…lol
I wasn’t clear enough. Thanks.
I’m all about this kind of stuff coming out. Since it’s backwards compatible, it can’t hurt, right?
I don’t know if I’d buy *this* laptop, per se, but I’d certainly consider USB 3.0 as a significant factor in buying a new computer.
