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...

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...

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...
