SAY GOODBYE TO ANOTHER FAILED MACBOOK AIR RIVAL: HP ENVY 13



It looks like HP has decided to join Dell in getting rid of their ultra thin 13" notebook. Supposedly an Apple MacBook Air competitor much like the Dell Adamo line which was recently killed by the company due to low response, the Envy 13 didn't seem to do a very good job either.

But that's not the end for Envy fans, HP won't be getting rid of the entire Envy line. They will only be killing Envy 13 which will be replaced by the Envy 14 though, if you're hoping for the same 13" design with full-metal chassis and weighs very light, you're going to be highly disappointed. The Envy 14, like its name suggest, measures at 14.5", weighs 2.38kg, about 700grams more than the Envy 13, and measures at 1.16" thick compared to Envy 13's 0.8".

Right before this announcement, the price of the HP Envy 13 has been slashed for a couple of months, going off for as low as USD$999 with USD$450 instant rebate. Are you going to miss the HP Envy 13?
