The HP Envy 13t makes a statement, with sleek, sharp edges that make the machine easier to open, while elevating it to be easier to type on. Its body is constructed of crisp aluminum, and laser-etched for a premium feel at an affordable price. It also features drop-jaw USB ports that enable full size USB-A ports to be used on a machine that’s impossibly thin. Opening the lid of the HP Envy 13t reveals an attractive aluminum deck. By opening the lid, the flat lip at the back edge of the hinge acts as a lever to elevate the laptop. The back face of the lip is aluminum, laser-etched with a wood grain pattern, and evokes an affinity for natural materials.
