Ultrabooks are Intel's name for slim, lightweight laptops. Most ultrabooks to date have been modelled on the Apple Macbook Air so they tend to be quite similar with 13in screens and a tapered design made from light coloured metal. The HP Envy 6 Ultrabo...

The Envy 6's biggest selling point is its thin size (19.8 mm), which officially makes it an ultrabook—and that's about it, because on the 15.6" market you can find all sorts of laptops with better specs at a lower price...

When we think of Ultrabooks, we tend to think of something like the Asus Zenbook UX32A , the Acer Aspire S5 or, of course, the Apple MacBook Air - all with small screen sizes, super-thin chassis and speedy SSD performance. The thing is, that's not what th...

Seeing a laptop like this for £680/$900 got a few raised eyebrows from us, and it becomes clear that HP has trimmed a few corners to get it to that price. But that's not our problem with the HP Envy 6. There's nothing wrong with a really usable laptop ha...

Screen could be higher spec, sound could be better.
The HP Envy 6 is a good-looking, capable laptop that's on the chunky side for an ultrabook, but makes up for it with its sturdy build, solid performance and above-average sound quality.SpecificationsCPU : 3rd generation Intel Core i5-3317U processor, 1...

HP's Envy Ultrabook 6-1010ea looks to be trying to be many things in one device. The essential proposition is something like a 15in ultraportable for a reasonable price of £699. Can the HP's laptop deliver as a cheap ultrabook? Read our Envy 6 Ultraboo...
Beyond its streamlined looks the HP Envy Ultrabook 6-1010ea doesn't have a great deal to offer. It's no powerhouse, won't play games particularly well and there's no optical drive. But if your needs are modest and you need a more lightweight 15in lapto...

The HP Envy 6-1001tx is a large, 15.6in thin-and-light Ultrabook that has a focus on all-round computing performance. While it doesn't feature a brand new Ivy Bridge-based CPU, (instead making do with a second generation Core i5-2467M Sandy Bridge mode...
HP's Envy 6-1001tx is an Ultrabook that's large, but it just squeezes into Intel's requirements for thickness. It's a good model to consider if you want a thin and reasonably light notebook for gaming. You get a good configuration with lots of RAM, sto...

When we first saw the HP Envy 6, our first thought was that it's pushing the rules of Ultrabooks to their limits. This laptop might be smaller and lighter than the average 15-inch laptop, but ultra-portable it ain't. After a bit of time with it, we can't...

On the outside AMD's Envy 6 Sleekbook looks no different to Intel's Envy 6 Ultrabook. Both use the exact same chassis made from plastic and aluminium. See: more laptop reviews. We liked the modern and stylish design of the HP Envy 6-1006ea Sleekbook, c...
The HP Envy 6-1006ea Sleekbook scores the same as its Ultrabook counterpart. It's £100 cheaper but this comes with a sacrifice in raw performance. This laptop will suffice for basic tasks like web browsing but not much more...

The Ultrabook market is growing rapidly. But just as quickly as it grows, it segments. The HP Envy 6 can't consider itself an "Ultrabook" because it's not powered by an Intel processor. Instead its "Sleekbook" moniker goes hand in hand with the AMD CP...

The HP Envy 6 may look good, but it can't quite surpass its functional position; there's little icing on this cake. But then there’s nothing wrong with that: for the £500-600 that the Envy 6 costs it delivers a reasonable spread, including USB 3.0, a b...

Intel has shaken up the laptop world by spending shedloads of cash on Ultrabooks, but it's left AMD with a problem: while its A-series APUs have been well-received thanks to a balance of application and graphics performance, Intel's domination gives it fe...
HP's attempt to tackle the Ultrabook for half the price is admirable, but its budget cuts are evident in several key areas: the screen mixes mediocre quality with a low resolution, good design and build quality is matched with iffy ergonomics, and the...

So what does the use of an AMD chip mean for you, the proud owner of a new Envy 6?Well, Intel's Ivy Bridge-based Core i5 chips are better at traditional processing and multitasking. AMD's A6-4455M 'Trinity' chip, meanwhile, has more powerful, integrated R...

HP proves that AMD can play in the sleek ultraportable game just as well as Intel. Performance might not be quite on the same level, but the HP Envy 6-1006ea Sleekbook makes up for this with a cheaper price and longer battery life. Overall, it's an attrac...
