HP Envy 14 Beats Edition gets a slice of Sandy Bridge silicon, costs $1,050 at Amazon

HP’s Envy 14 is extremely the looker of a laptop, with its etched aluminum skin beckoning you to explore the capabilities of the Sandy Bridge CPU that lies beneath . Should you prefer the murdered-out look, the HP Envy Beats Edition is the preferable PC, but in the past it lacked the upgraded Intel innards of its showy stablemate. That’s right, Amazon’s offering a second-gen Intel Core i5-2410M chip clocked at 2.3 GHz to compliment those dark Dr. Dre aesthetics you crave (oddly it is not yet on the market on HP’s website). The inky Envy with the gigantic red “B” is priced at $1,050, or half 100 greater than its equivalently-equipped cousin — what, you thought the paint job was free?
