14 DAY TRIAL // There are various ways that a PC or hardware component can be exposed to the eyes of the public, and it looks like HP's Envy 14 Beats Audio Edition chose the online listing option.
When a product gets listed online ahead of time, it doesn't usually come with all specifications information.
On the other end of the spectrum are listings like the one on Amazon, of the HP Envy 14 Beats Audio Edition, which does seem to have all the specifics, hardware and software-wise, on this laptop that suddenly became available, despite little, if any, forewarning.
This might come across as even stranger when one finds out that HP has yet to add this particular configuration to its official website, or at least hadn't at the moment of release.
Nonetheless, the machine is up and about, based on an Intel central processing unit that is not one of the standard ones offered by HP for this notebook (i3-370M, an i7-720QM or i7-740QM). Instead, the i5-2410M is utilized.
This chips has, of course, the Turbo Boost dynamic overclocking technology, which means that the core frequency can be pushed up, from 2.3 GHz to 2.9 GHz.
That said, 6 GB of DDR3 RAM (random access memory) are present and should have no problem backing up the CPU.
Also, the hard disk drive has a capacity of 750 GB and a platter speed of 7,200 RPM (rotations per minute).
Furthermore, the display is a 14.5-inch liquid crystal panel with BrightView LED backlighting and a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels (HD).
Other specifications include 802.11a/g/n wireless LAN, Bluetooth, WiDi support, a slot-loading SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support, AMD Radeon HD 6630 graphics (1GB to 2 GB DDR3 VRAM) and a battery life of up to 6.25 hours.
The starting price of the HP Envy 14 Beats Audio Edition (it features the Beats Audio technology) loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, is $1,049.99.
UPDATE: Fixed typo that read Beast instead of Beats dudio technology.
