You'll pay a price for that additional flexibility, though: the Envy 15 weighs half a pound more than Apple's laptop, is half an inch wider, and is noticeably (though perhaps not meaningfully) thicker, too, measuring 1.1 inches from top to bottom. Perhaps most surprising of all, HP didn't seal in the battery here: both the 14.8V, 4780mAh pack and the hard drive are accessible from a latched compartment, though you'll need a screwdriver if you want to swap out either one. Perhaps you're familiar with the way the MacBook Pro and its copycats typically have only a small variety of ports, all on one side? Not the Envy 15, which sports a pair of USB 3.0 jacks, two 3.5mm headphone sockets and a 3.5mm microphone port on the left, alongside the DVD drive, and another USB 2.0 port, full-sized DisplayPort and HDMI sockets, a Gigabit Ethernet jack and an SD card slot on the right. Then, HP literally cut some corners in a very welcome place: along the edge of the machine where your wrists rest while typing, smoothing them to reduce chafing. While Dell was content to make the XPS 15z look like Apple's machine, the Envy 15 copies rather more desirable traits, starting with the same rock-solid, wonderfully smooth aluminum deck without more than a hint of flex anywhere. If you ask me, though, the Envy 15 actually improves upon the MacBook Pro when it comes to industrial design. There's a rather striking red ribbon coursing around the edge of the keyboard tray, and a shiny silver knob built into the right edge that's just begging to be touched (more on that in a bit), but it's clear that the Envy is more than a homage to Cupertino's creation: it's more of a rip than ever. Lift the Envy 15's smooth black lid and you'll be greeted by a most familiar sight: HP's computer has a nearly identical silhouette to Apple's famous design. It's minor, but we've docked the laptop's score as a result. Update, March: HP says the Radiance Display is "functioning properly," another way of saying that there is no way, or at least no plans, to fix this issue.

We're currently awaiting a full response from HP.

Update, January 24: There seems to be a problem with the HP Envy 15's 1080p Radiance Display where it doesn't properly display red and violet colors. If HP's going to throw down with Apple on its own carefully polished aluminum turf, we're going to judge it accordingly: is the new Envy 15 as much of a Windows MacBook Pro as its looks suggest? Or is HP just banking on Apple's image to sell a lesser product? Read on to find out.

As you can see above, the company's not so shy anymore - the new Envy 15 looks almost exactly like a MacBook Pro when open. HP was one of the first to attempt to capitalize on the Apple formula with the original Envy 15 in 2009, but shied away from an outright clone with a curvier riff on the aluminum case.

With laptops like the Dell XPS 15z and Samsung Series 7 Chronos, the incumbents are scrambling to build a cheaper MacBook Pro for the Windows set, and in more ways than one: not only do the Windows machines have similar metallic builds, they also attempt to copy Apple's design language.

Six years after the introduction of the MacBook Pro, it appears the PC industry has finally realized that Apple was onto something.
