Dr. Dre, HP Make Limited Edition Envy 15

Earlier this week, we learned about HP's impressive looking new line of premium notebooks the Envy 13 and Envy 15, both of which borrow a lot of the desirable styling of Apple's MacBook Pros.

"HP Envy includes the latest in materials and technology inside and out and pushes the technological and performance boundaries of what can be done in sleek, powerful and lightweight notebook PCs," said Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager, Notebook Global Business Unit, Personal Systems Group, HP. "Discerning consumers will get a premium experience and performance."

Before the notebooks are even hitting the streets, HP has announced a limited edition of its Envy 15, designed in collaboration with Beats by Dr. Dre.

Of course, both the Envy 13 and Envy 15 feature speakers that are designed in conjunction with Beats, so it appears that this limited edition Envy 15 only differentiates itself by its black exterior and Beats logo on the lid.

Although specifics of this Envy are still unknown, the Envy 15 is what HP calls its fastest consumer notebook and "dream machine," coming in a 1-inch thin, 5.18-pound package. It'll pack a 'future' Intel Core i7 processor and up to 16 GB of DDR3 1,066-MHz system memory in four SODIMM memory slots. It also has space to add two solid-state drives in a RAID-0 configuration if you need the speed.

The regular Envy 15 will run for $1,799, so expect the limited edition to be at least that much.
