HP adds new budget-friendly Windows 8 laptops - Envy m4 and two Sleekbooks
HP has announce
a trio of new Windows 8 laptops, all aimed at the more affordable end of the
market. The HP Envy m4 and the Pavillion Sleekbook 14 and 15 won't skimp on the
style or the features, though,
The HP Envy m4 is a
14-inch (1366 x 768) notebook with a slick brushed aluminium chassis. It'll
come with either Intel i3 or i5 CPUs and up to 8GB of RAM - but there's no
discrete graphics option, which makes it a no-no for gamers. 
For storage there'll be
a choice of either a 32GB solid state drive or up to a 1GB hard drive.
Continuing HP's Beats Audio partnership, the Envy m4 will come with a decent
set of speakers and a subwoofer.
The Envy m4 will
set you back $899 when it's launched "in select markets" from October
26 - that's the Windows 8 launch date, in case you were wondering.
Even more
affordable will be the HP Sleek book 14 and Sleekbook 15. What's a Sleek book?
Well, it's HP's own term used to describe a very thin and light laptop that
doesn't quite have the guts of an ultra book - but can be had for a great deal
less money.
The Sleek book 14
uses an AMD CPU and GPU combo, while the Sleekbook 15 stretches its legs with
Intel hardware. Both offer the option of discrete graphics cards and similar
storage options to the Envy.
As you'd expect
from the name, the Sleekbooks are rather svelte, and come in a choice of black
or red.
The Sleekbook 14
will cost $499 and the Sleekbook 15 $559. Once again, they'll be available from
October 26, when Windows 8 launches.
