Slowly but surely, solid-state-drives are making their entrance into mainstream acceptance. For sometime, higher-end laptops from Apple, Sony, HP, etc. have offered optional SSD hard disks as replacements for mechanical drives, which, due to moving parts, are significantly slower than solid-state storage for random and sequential reading (as well as random writing) speed. More consumers are taking notice of SSD because their benefits are readily apparent: much faster operating system and application boot up times and quicker general response from computers.

HP’s 15-inch ENVY notebook is indubitably, um, “inspired” by the unibody MacBook Pro, but underneath its magnesium skin is a quad-core Intel i7-820QM processor clocking at 1.73GHz. At only 1.04″ thick, the ENVY is proof that a lower-speed quad i7 can be worked into a thin notebook but at a very high price. More »
