HP Envy 13

Released January, 2010
The Pros:Can handle graphic intensive games gracefully, good framerates. Battery lasts a long time between charges. Accelerometer built in detects falls before impact, good protection for drops.
The Cons:Not easy to upgrade without major disassembly. Not much output from the speakers, will want headphones or external speakers for movies. Large amount of bloatware on the system that needs to be painstakingly removed.
