Boots in 10 seconds. Battery charges very quickly. Have had no experience with sluggish mouse movements or problems opening the case as others have reported. Yes, fingerprints are an issue but I use the same cloth to clean the case as I do my eyeglasses and cell phone, plus it comes with a nice sleeve to protect it. This is a machine for school, my desktop is the workhorse. The Spectre is my little sports car machine for a fast boot at the start of class. Love it!

While this is my first laptop ever, I am amazed by it. I love the the design and styling of the envy. I am so cautious with the shiny glass as it is one of the features that made me want it. The keyboard is perfect all around and the mouse touch pad couldn't be better. The graphics are wonderful as well. Anyone looking for one of these ultra-books should consider this baby! :)

Nice design by HP but the fingerprints are easily left over the glass

This is one of the better laptops I've purchased recently. Pros: - Very light weight and portable, easy to carry around for a 14"+ laptop. - Nice design, feels solid and not as flimsy as other ultrabooks (in particular the screen which doesn't flex as much as others I've handled). - Nice keyboard layout and response. - Performance has been pretty good so far (mostly running business and CAD programs). - Windows 7 professional was not an option but was easy to upgrade once I got the laptop connected to the internet. - Good size screen for the size of the chasis. - Battery life has been excellent so far. Cons: - Some touchpad gestures are slower to respond than I'd like, but ok. - Wish it came with a bluray built in, or at least I wish there was an external accessory Bluray drive that was equally small, light weight, and well designed as the laptop. - Would be nice to have a bit better screen resolution as an option. - Can't upgrade RAM above 4GB. - Would like one more USB port.

The new Spectre ultrabook is the best; after looking at the "other-guys" Air, I chose to stay with HP. Had all the options I was looking for in a quick order PC, and was several $$$ less.

Fast, sleek, light.

The HP ENVY 14-3010NR Spectre 14" Ultrabook Computer features three surfaces of beautiful, scratch-resistant glass. Defying conventional design with an unparalleled use of glass inside and out, this HP Ultrabook fuses the thin-sheet glass over the all aluminum body in nero black and natural silver.
The 14" Radiance HD+ Infinity widescreen display provides exceptional brightness and color gamut for optimal image quality. The screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio and is backlit with LED lamps, which are more energy efficient than their CCFL counterparts. The 1600 x 900 native resolution is powered by integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000.
With a mini-DisplayPort and a HDMI port, you'll be able to output video signals to a larger external display, such as a monitor or an HDTV. If you would rather go wirelessly, built-in Intel WiDi technology enables you to wirelessly stream your music, photos and videos and other PC content to an HDTV. A compatible TV adapter (sold separately) will be required to make use of this feature.
The system is powered by a dual-core 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5-2467M processor. It also has 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 128 GB solid state drive, a 2-in-1 media card reader, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth with WiDi, an integrated webcam and microphone. There are also built-in stereo speakers with Beats Audio. Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) is the installed operating system.
