The new Envy 17 comes equipped with an Intel Core i5-2430M processor, updated from the original Intel Core i7 Q720 processor, to combat the overheating of the previous model. Additionally, like the second generation Envy 15, a new design intended to visually incorporate the Beat Audio features of the laptop have been added. These include an analog volume dial with red accents at the top right of the keyboard and a matching red strip around the keyboard. The hard drive space has been increased as well, from 500GB to 750GB. The Envy 17 also comes with an extra DisplayPort and an additional USB 3.0 socket when compared with the new Envy 15.
