The HP Envy (stylized in all caps) is a line of consumer-oriented high-end laptops, desktop computers and printers manufactured and sold by HP Inc. They started as a high-end version of the HP Pavilion line.
HP originally launched the line on October 15, 2009, with two high-performance models, the Envy 13 and the Envy 15. These models replaced the Voodoo Envy when HP and VoodooPC merged. After that, HP expanded the series with the addition of the Envy 14 and Envy 17 models. The Envy's main competition were computers such as Acer's Aspire, Dell's Inspiron and XPS, Lenovo's IdeaPad, Samsung's Sens, and Toshiba's Satellite.
In 2010 HP released only the Envy 14 and 17 model. [1]
In 2012, HP discontinued their traditional Envy 13, 14, 15, and 17 models by rebranding their Pavilion line of computers as the new Envy lineup. The new Envy line consisted of the (rebranded Pavilion) Envy notebook line and the hybrid HP Envy x2. The rebranded Pavilion laptops continued with Beats Audio branded speakers and dedicated Nvidia graphics processors.
In 2014 the naming changed again, and Envy laptops had a 13, 14, 15, and 17 model. HP also has branded desktops and printers with the Envy label. [2]

Standard configurations come with 6 GB DDR3 RAM installed, but the system can handle up to 16 GB (2 slots) of RAM.

[30] All models have a standard battery that fits in the chassis as well as an optional slice battery that fits below the chassis, in each case promised by HP to more than double the battery life. Both machines are also constructed from layered magnesium and aluminum etched with a subtle design pattern. The slice battery adds about 1.5 inches to the laptop's height and 680 g of mass. However, it more than doubles the battery life. The AC adapter is also of considerable size since it must power the laptop and charge both batteries.
