hp envy 13 notebook 300x225 HP Envy 14, 17 and Pavilion dm4 Confirmed   PossiblyRumours about a new HP Envy 14 and HP Envy 17 have started up again due to some support documents being spotted that confirm the new models in the Envy range. Each will be an upgrade to the Envy 13 and Envy 15 series of laptops.

Reports of a HP Envy 14 are not new though as that particular laptop was spotted last November. That particular report came from a file that was downloaded that contained a reference to an Envy 14 in a couple of different variants with that name/screen size.

The new information comes from a CVA file called HP Support Assistant CVA Documentation, SP47327 where a reference to the HP Envy 14 is added as well as a new Envy 17 that hasn’t been previously mentioned.

What will be inside the laptops is another thing and something we don’t have any information yet on. Perhaps HP will go for more power by introducing an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 CPU in to the mix along with a decent graphics card, or maybe the Envy 14 will get the i5 and Envy 17 will get the i7. It’s all just speculation right now until the details are confirmed by HP themselves.

On another note, another device was also dug up from similar documentation which indicates a HP Pavilion dm4 could be in the making.

Right now we have no official specs on that other than it potentially being a 14 inch screened device with built in optical drive and with a sale price of $650 – $850. We’ll dig deeper for details and no doubt if true, more will be officially announced shortly.
