HP is targeting mainstream consumers with its new Envy ultrabooks that feature larger screens and lower price tags.
“The new 14- and 15.6-inch Envy ultrabooks retail at $800 and $750, respectively, which puts them squarely below even the cheapest first-gen ultrabooks,” reports Digital Trends.
“HP’s research shows that 15.6-inch notebooks are the most popular size in the U.S. and Europe, and 14-inch notebooks are the most popular in China, one of HP’s growing markets,” adds the post.
The Envy ultrabooks use Intel Core series processors, but are built on Sandy Bridge hardware, not Ivy Bridge — “one of a few possible concessions to reach these prices.”
Measuring 19.8mm thin and just under 4 pounds, they are not the thinnest or lightest of the ultrabook offerings, which could also have to do with their affordability.
