HP's Envy 4 is an Ultrabook with a 14in screen. The design is sleek, comprising of a brushed black aluminium lid and keyboard surround, with an eye-catching red plastic underside, just like the larger Envy 6. It looks great but the finish shows every f...
The Envy 4 is a good looking and well-made laptop for the price. It's not as attractive at Lenovo's U410, though, and battery life is the only real standout feature. We prefer the U410's extra gaming power, but the Envy 4 remains a sensible choice if y...

There are two models for sale in the UK: the Envy 4-1010ea and the Envy 4-1020ea. The model we tested (Envy 4-1062) is the same as the 4-1010, but minus 2 GB of RAM.HP Envy 4-1010ea (£650):CPU: Intel Core i3-2367MRAM: 6 GBGraphics: Intel HD Graphics 30...

The disappointing figures we got when we tested the display automatically put the Envy 4 down two stars. The sound from the headphone and speaker jacks also needs some major work and the heat levels are a bit high. In this price range, we'd say go with...

HP made quite a fuss when it launched its Spectre Ultrabook back in May, and whilst we praised its gleaming, glass design we also noted that the Spectre was a bit on the porky side for what was meant to be an ‘ultraportable’ laptop. It was also burdene...
This is one of those ‘glass half full’ situations. If you consider portability to be the be-all and end-all of an Ultrabook then the Envy 4 – like the Spectre – falls short when compared to its slimmer, lighter 13in rivals. On the other hand, it’s che...

The HP Envy Ultrabook 4 is aptly named - this Ultrabook's premium design and subtle pop of colour makes it the envy of ultraportables everywhere. Ultrabooks, for the most part, look the same: skinny, sleek, and an awful lot like Apple's MacBook line. B...
The HP Envy 4 is aptly named. It's a solid machine, with good performance scores, excellent speakers and audio enhancement software, and a mediocre screen, keyboard, and trackpad. The only big drawback is the battery life, which is disappointingly unde...

We've been quick to point out shortcomings with the HP Envy 4, but the truth is it's a very cool Ultrabook. It's got enough of a design edge to single it out and its performance, while not breathtaking, is certainly credible. If you want an Ultrabook for...

We've got one of HP's touch-enabled Ultrabooks in the lab today. The Envy TouchSmart 4 is a 14-inch, touch-enabled Ultrabook inspired by Intel that is a bit easier on the wallet than some of the other Ultrabooks we've recently had through our lab. Is...
Let's get down to the nuts and bolts. We've seen the hard numbers and the subjective feelings towards this computer, so just where does it stack up? Taking the price into consideration, it does pretty well. The system is currently available directly f...

Our test laptop shipped with an Intel Core i5-3317U CPU, 4GB of system memory, Windows 8 and integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics - the product on sale in the UK comes with 8GB RAM, however, so expect an uplift in performance (you can never have too much...
The chief issue, as mentioned, with the Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 is its weight. To be fair, HP is hardly alone - I've seen a number of Ultrabooks, including older, non-touch based systems come in at over four pounds. If the heft doesn't bother you...

There is an elegance to the HP ENVY 4 Ultrabook, the sort you associate with a well-tailored suit and a matching tie. It's not the thinnest Ultrabook, but the air it carries is one of style and substance, so much so that you'll be quite ready to believe i...

No, it's not the thinnest or lightest Ultrabook, but the HP ENVY 4 Ultrabook is still easily one of the best looking ones we've had. And it's not just plainly reliant on looks alone: this laptop has substance, in the form of good display and audio perfor...
