Envy could be a driving force for HP in the thin laptops market. Hold - it’s no jealousy against the MacBook Air or the Dell Adamo, but is a new line of ultra-thin laptops from Hewlett Packard. Dubbed as the HP Envy, the new laptops will be in 13.1-inch and 15.6-inch LED backlit screens.

Though, both models offer sublime uniqueness when it comes to thinness, yet we have our eyes set on the 0.8-inch-thin Envy 13, which is the 13.1-inch model. Not actually there to set the 0.76-inch thin MacBook Air, or the even thinner Dell Adamo on the back-foot, the Envy 13 however is way ahead of everything with a battery life touted at staggering 18 hours @ price beginning at $1,699.
