Whether you want a high-style, high-performance laptop that’s thin and light or a colorful, portable companion PC, new HP notebooks and netbooks are for you.

To help make searching faster, browsing easier and connectivity a snap, they all offer genuine Windows® 7.1

So, if you want to make your mobile computing experience more fun, personal and stylish, get one of the new offerings below and get going now.

Make them envious

The HP ENVY series. This new line of precision-crafted premium notebooks can delight the most demanding user. Wrapped in luxurious, laser-etched magnesium with aluminum elements, these notebooks are sure to turn heads.

The ENVY 15 Notebook is an artistically designed performance powerhouse. It’s our fastest consumer notebook PC ever and boldly pushes passed the boundaries of what can be done in a sleek, powerful and lightweight notebook.

This 1-inch thin, 5.18 lb. 2 PC is a beauty, but it’s also a beast as it takes on the most demanding tasks – from video editing to intense gaming – with the latest Intel® Core™ i7 quad-core processor. 3 A 15.6-inch diagonal HP Ultra BrightView widescreen display and a powerful graphics processor produce clear, breathtaking visuals for viewing Blu-ray4 and 1080p (full HD5) content.

Crafted with the latest materials and packed with state-of-the-art technologies, the ENVY 13 Notebook packs a powerful punch in an elegant, ultra-thin design. It starts at just 3.68 lbs. 2 and is less than 1-inch thin – but it has a 13.1-inch diagonal screen for uncompromised views.

Boasting the brightest display in its class (nearly twice as bright as standard displays at 410 nits), the ENVY 13 is designed to provide an exceptional movie and photo experience with smooth lag-free performance and amazingly rich colors, even in high ambient light conditions. The Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor3 lets you stream Blu-ray4 movies or play them back from the design-matched external optical drive. With the optional HP ENVY Slim Fit Extended-Life battery, select configurations can deliver stellar battery life of up to 18 hours and 15 minutes.6

Look marvelous with an HP Mini

The new HP Mini 110 by Studio Tord Boontje is the first companion PC from HP to reflect the artistic vision of the critically acclaimed Dutch designer. With a floral- and fauna-inspired design, it features the industry’s first 3-dimensional PC surface technology: HP Imprint 3D finish. Multiple layers on the top cover make the art appear to float on the surface, while casting shadows onto lower layers.

With Windows® 77 Starter, this HP Mini can be personalized with 15 wallpapers, a screen saver and a Stardock MyColors desktop theme – all unique to this product and designed by Boontje to deliver an integrated visual experience. Starting at 2.352 lbs., you can travel easy and access your favorite Internet sites, photos, music and videos in seconds with HP QuickWeb.7, 8
