HP tweaked the appearance of the Envy and optimized it for Windows 8.1, however the best way to describe the new HP model would be a “Haswell Refresh”. With Intel’s delay of the Boardwell 5th gen CPU to 2015, HP is refreshing their machines with the latest 4th gen “Haswell” processors.
One of the most notable differences is the Touchpad, you can now switch, snap and close apps quickly and easily with the new HP Control Zone trackpad. It’s an easier way to access Windows 8.1 controls using dedicated gesture zones on either side of the trackpad.
