The HP Envy 14 is a 14.5'' premium notebook. It is an addition to the Envy notebook lineup alongside the Envy 13, Envy 15, and Envy 17.

As HP's Premium 14.5'' notebook, it is highly customisable with Intel processors ranging from budget oriented Core i3, to the high performance Core i7 quad core processors.
