HP launches a Ultrabook and a MacBook Pro

HP introduced its new range of laptops from the end of the year. It includes a Ultrabook 13 inches, Folio 13 and three MacBook Pro, Envy, 15, 17 and 17 3D.



Folio 13 is a Ultrabook pure blood letter respecting the desires of Intel: 18 mm thick for a screen of 13 inches, 128 GB SSD, Core i5-2467M processor. It weighs 1.4 kg and offers a rich enough connections for a Ultrabook: a port USB 2, a 3, a USB output HDMI, SD card reader and even an Ethernet port! HP presents as the first Ultrabook for professionals. Folio 13 justifies this designation by a backlit keyboard, the possibility of adding a TPM chip and the greater autonomy of the market: 9 hours. Folio 13 should especially seduce by its prices: it is announced to the United States to $899. It will be available from December 7.


The Envy at HP have originally assumed a strong resemblance to the MacBook Pro from Apple. Their latest versions grow mimicry still further. Open hood is difficult not to be confused: same screen with black border protected by a glass slab, same all-metal chassis, same same trackpad, backlit black keys "chiclet" keyboard integrated without apparent button. The similarity disappears once closed screens, Envy being black external hulls. Fortunately, HP with its Envy of other arguments than a little inspired design.


The Envy 15 base offers for $1100 an Intel Core i5 2430M CPU, a GPU AMD Radeon, 6 GB RAM, 500 GB of hard disk (7200 RPM / min), two USB 3.0 ports and 8 battery cells of 76 Wh intended to hold 9 h. Very interestingly, HP offers on this model, optional, a Radiance screen brings not only a resolution of 1920 x 1080 but mostly non-TN and IPS liquid crystals. Farewell angles of narrow visions and unstable colour! The Envy also benefit from the partnership between HP and Beats Audio: they have seven speakers including a serious. The options include a smart WiFi type 3 x 3 (to achieve 450 Mbps rates) and a 128 GB solid state of type mSATA on Envy 17. Availability is also announced for December 7 in the us. We will update this news as soon as HP will have clarified us what it will be for the France.
