In pictures: HP Envy 15 Beats Audio notebook

Plenty of style, features and good performance make this a desirable 15in notebook

The HP Envy 15 is a 15in laptop with a ton of style, and good dollop of substance as well. It features an Intel Core i7-2670QM quad-core CPU at its helm, and it's surrounded by 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM, dual graphics (integrated Intel and AMD Radeon HD 7690M adapters) and a 750GB WD hard drive. This makes it a good performer, to be sure, but there are some areas in which the Envy could do more to impress -- mainly with its screen and some of its physical details.

You can see from this first image that the Envy 15 is not packaged like a regular notebook. It actually comes in two boxes. Once the external box is removed, you are left with this package.
