The HP ENVY 15 Beats limited edition notebook PC is the latest inHP's ENVY line. Iovine and the good Doc (who calls the laptop "the newstereo") is apparently trying to give Steve Jobs aheart attack with its features: Mixing software from NativeInstruments' Traktor LE, black high-gloss finish, and Dr. Dre'sheadphones thrown in as well. It retails for $2,299.
"We started this journey with the headphones to improve thetransmission of sound between record makers and consumers," Iovine saidat a press conference Monday. "What's out there is not representativeof what you hear in the recording studio. As we went on this journey,we found that computers were in the way. Artists and producers wanttheir sound repaired in digital audio. Computer companies charge $1,000for computers but only spend 50 cents for speakers. With HP, we found apartner willing to take the step to improve the overall sound in thePC. This is for anyone who plays music." here's a link to a talk with Jimmy Iovine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khxp2njQ3Ss
