This HP-branded Envy laptop wears the Dr. Dre Beats logo proud. It is the first in a series of products Dre and HP have in the pipeline for music-oriented consumers looking for solid sound at an affordable price. This limited edition Envy 15 features a 15-inch screen and comes in at 1-inches thin and 5.18-pounds. It will include a ‘future’ Core i7 processor and will have the capacity for 16GB of RAM and two solid state drives. Although official specs are limited for now, expect the Beats-inspired Envy 15 to cost at least $1,799, as its counterpart (the standard Envy) costs that much. I will keep my ear to the ground and watch for updates on this and other Beats-branded machines. The time for a revolution in better sound quality is now, right Dre?

Beats for the everyday man (..or not)

Adding to yesterday’s news of Lady Gaga’s Heartbeats is today’s announcement of a smaller, cheaper version of the original Studio Beats headphones. This product finds its home between the Tour Beats ($149) and the Studio Beats ($299). The Beats Solo is smaller and lighter than its older brother and will cost a mere $220. They will be available in black and white this November. According to Monster, the Beats Solo have the same sound quality as the Studio Beats. If Dr. Dre and the team at Monster Cable found a way to create the original Beats in a tinier form factor then all the power to them. However, I’d play it safe and wait for initial reviews before going out to make a purchase.
