  • The problem or challenge: * Our big focus was on hybrid work. How can we enhance the overall experience? * It's perfect for carrying around, using as a laptop, or in tent mode for presenting. We also heard our customers say they wanted a manual privacy shutter, so we switched from an electric to manual, and made the shutter striped so it's incredibly obvious in use. We have a much bigger battery life. We have a very thin narrow bezel, to give us an 89% screen to body ratio. We found that customers perceive it as more premium, the narrower the border.

  • Instead of sharp, hard edges, Envy softens the business-like feel and makes it more friendly to grab and go. Envy fits different environments better, and is more appealing to a broader set of people. Aesthetics: * new keyboard with super matte finish that feels nice to the touch but also adds more contrast for twilight lighting use. * increased the keyboard font size on all keys including Tab, Caps, Shift. * larger trackpad and keys that are raised above the palmrest are easier to use, and are protected by rubber feet when Envy 360 is folded in tablet mode.

  • Sustainability: * 50% recycled aluminum body * 30% recycled plastics in key caps * 5% ocean-bound plastics in speakers

  • Benefit to user: * improved the graphics card power, enlarged the battery capacity, and improved connectivity. * As a result, it can run multiple creative apps at once, for longer. * With the IR lens on the improved 5MP camera, you can use facial recognition to login to Windows. * It also adds an extra layer of security and assurance. * The computer wakes when you walk up, locks when you walk away. * We’ve also improved the pen experience, with upgrades related to tip friction, stability, and up to 1 year of battery life
