    With the size of those borders, I'm not sure HP chose the right name with 'Envy'! It's about half of the area of the tablet for pete's sake!

    The HP is the larger of the bunch at 12" and considering the greater size and weight, I reckon the large border space is there to accomodate a heavier hand grip.

    Mmm I am curious how these will be priced vs the crippled RT tablets and fairly expensive "real" x86 CPU versions.

    I expect somewhere in the middle - maybe this sort of setup will be the ideal choice for many people if the pricing sits in between the two to match the feature scaling.
    The recent "leaked" US pricing seems to indicate this but final Uk pricing will be out before long I am sure
