HP Envy 14 Beats Edition Hands-On: Mean, Lean, Sound Machine

What, the Envy 14 isn’t cool enough for you? Then how about the Dr. Dre-inspired Envy 14 Beats Edition?
While this notebook has the same internal specs as the regular Envy 14–which means Intel Core i5 processors and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics, the Beats Edition will be decked out in all black, with the red Beats Audio logo on the lid. Instead of white backlighting, the keys will glow red; overall, the notebook looks  intimidating–in a good way. Sure, you don’t get the powerful audio mixing tools that came with the Envy 15 Beats Unlimited Edition, but this machine costs over a grand less ($1,249 starting price vs. $2,299).
Inside, the Envy 14 Beats Edition will feature Beats audio technology, designed in part by Dr. Dre, which means audio quality above and beyond what you’d normally get out of a notebook. The Envy 14 will also come with Beats Solo headphones from Monster, which will help users fully enjoy the sound coming out of their system.
The Envy 14 Beats Edition is on sale now. Check out specs, images, and more new HP products after the jump.
