HP Envy 17 3D laptop arrives

From £1559 in the UK, $1599 in the US…hmmm

HP has launched its 17-inch 3D Envy laptop this week in the US, with HP’s UK office promising us that Brits will be able to pick up the machine ‘in time for Xmas’ in UK.

It is the latest of the first few 3D laptops to hit the market over the last year, following earlier releases from the likes of Acer, Asus and Toshiba.

Packs AMD’s 3D tech

The HP Envy 17 3D laptop features a nice and wide 17.3-inch 3D Ultra BrightView display and, unlike most of its competitors (which make use of Nvidia 3D Vision tech) this one uses AMD’s 3D tech, coming bundled with the requisite pair of active shutter glasses.

“With advanced 3D technology as well as Beats Audio and an HP Triple Bass Reflex subwoofer, this latest HP ENVY17 now also has the power and performance to deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience – just like in movie theatres,” reads HP’s marketing blurb.
