HP adorns its Envy laptops with wood
If you’re looking for a laptop with premium materials, you might check out the offerings of HP, which has lately been enthusiastic about the idea.
After launching a fancy leather-clad HP Spectre Folio last year, the company has now embraced wood for its Envy line of devices.
The devices which can be had with woody details are the Envy 13, Envy x360 13, Envy x360 15 and the Envy 17. They’re otherwise the same as the previously announced metal versions, but you can now get them with the latest Intel Core processors or 2nd-generation AMD Ryzen processors.
These can all be had in three color-wood combinations: Nightfall Black with Natural Walnut, Ceramic White with White Birch, or Natural Silver with Pale Birch. Out of these, the natural walnut is the one that actually looks like wood from afar, whereas the other two combos are far more subdued.
Somewhat disappointingly, none of the combinations actually include wood on the cover or the device’s sides — the only part that’s covered in wood is the trackpad and the palm rests on both sides. It’s nice when the laptop is open, but when it’s closed, the wooden parts are invisible.
The HP Envy Wood Series laptops will become available this fall; pricing has not yet been announced.
And if you need something fancy to carry your new partially wooden laptop in, HP will start offering a HP ENVY Uptown tote, backpack and convertible backpack, all of which should become available this summer for $170 – $180.
