HP Envy Spectre 14 Video Review

HP Envy 14 Buying Guide

This high-end specialty laptop is a full featured laptop with the option of a discrete video card for smooth multimedia playback and even decent mid-range computer gaming experience.

The HP Envy 14 Dr. Dre Beats edition is a limited time exclusive edition straight from HP, with special DJ tools and the optional beats headset. You'll find the current generation of Intel Core i5 series processor or have the option for the Core i7 with even more speed. The 14.5 inch display makes this size a unique balance and middle-ground between other 14-inch laptops and the bigger 15.6-inch laptops. Comes with a standard 8 cell battery for 3.75 hours battery life or the choice of an extended, oversize option with 6 more cell.

Does the HP Envy 14 Beats Edition come with Dr. Dre Solo headphones? Unfortunately, due to supply issues, HP no longer includes the headphones with each laptop, thereby lowering the retail price down about $100 given the fact that the headphones are no longer included.

To really make the machine scream (and perhaps cost even more), you can opt for the decent sized 256GB solid state drive. Standard 7200 rpm 500GB hard drives are included, although there is an option for a 5400 rpm hard drive from the Envy 14, you are much better off with the faster, 7200 rpm options.

All Envy 14s, no matter the configure, comes with a 1GB Mobility Radeon HD 5650 which is a solid mid-range graphics card on a laptop, and can be switchable to the onboard Intel graphis to save more battery life when high-powered graphics are not necessary.
