So I’m not going to dwell on features like USB ports, processor, or networking–those are all pretty much the same. ![]() The CPU, RAM, Blu-ray drive, and GPU were all the same. The new Envy 17 with 3D had a single 500GB hard drive rather than a pair of 320GB drives. In fact, the unit HP shipped to PC World had only one minor difference, other than the display, from the earlier version.
