Maximum PC | HP Envy 13 Review
Sylish, magnesium-alloy frame; excellent LED display; jet-fast benchmark performance....Expensive; mediocre battery life; no optical drive....Still, it lacks an optical drive, which the Toshiba R600 manages to accommodate, weighs a pound more than the R600, and doesn't have as good of a battery life, all of which are important considerations in an ultraportable notebook...Don't say "That's because...

HP Envy 13 Laptop Computer Review | PCWorld
Great, Mac-like looks Neat audio processing feature for headphones...Expensive Annoying bloatware ads...Speaking of inappropriate uses of hardware, I've never had such a love-hate relationship with a touchpad since...the newer MacBook Pros, I guess...Good news, the optional extra battery can help out...This is a good machine for people that have money to burn......

HP Envy 13 review -- Engadget
Beautiful hardware design High screen resolution Solid battery life...Terrible trackpad High price External disc drive...At least there's nothing bad like a buzz coming off of the 1/8-inch plug as we've had with some shoddier laptops...So now you can take your "biased and bad review" of this review and do with it as you will...but please, don't be a hypocrite...Even better, it doesn't do too much...
