"As one of the biggest computer manufacturers in the world, HP certainly knows how to put together an attractive laptop, and since its conception, looks have been one of the major raisons d'être for its Envy line.

Essential ingredients include a 17.3in, Full HD, 120Hz display, premium wireless active shutter glasses and a Blu-ray drive with 3D compatible software. "

If you want to be the, uh, envy, of your friends, the HP Envy 17 3D may just do the trick. It has all the usual accoutrements of a high powered desktop replacement laptop such as a powerful, up-to-date CPU, capable video card, fast storage options and a Blu-ray drive. The showpiece is the 120Hz display, which is what is needed to use the included 3D glasses for that wonderful 3D experience that everyone is clamoring for. Movie theaters are pushing it. Really expensive TVs have it. This obviously means that if you want to be on top of the gadget chain, your laptop must offer it. At least until the next hyped up technology comes along.
