New 17" HP models just came out
6th gen quad
RealSense 3D hardware
GTX 950M stilljust ordered one. Can't take the i7-5500u seriously when the i7-6700HQ is available in the same chassis now.
And now I wait another 3 weeks, sigh.
If anyone else is interested, coupon code Envy25 takes 25% off of them. Mine took off almost $500 ( but went for every upgrade, you can get by a lot cheaper if you don't want the embedded 3D scanner ).

It has an embedded 3D scanner? Seriously? LOL That's freaking awesome.

Hey @Minion-Queen I think my laptop just fell on the floor.... oh, it's not coming back from that.
-
Oh, and I posted this from my phone, of course.

@scottalanmiller :trollface: That's always fun! I bet next you're going to try and blame the kids??

It's the Intel 3D RealSense hardware, which is a few different embedded cameras and sensors that work in conjunction w/ software, one of the features I saw somewhere was scanning objects into 3D models... sounds pretty sweet, haven't read any reviews yet.

I assumed that that was the "why" people were getting it, but amazed that it is in an Envy laptop!

The more I watch the cooler this looks.
There's one demo of a guy scanning his face into a laptop and then a video game superimposes his likeness onto the main character as he plays it.

Okay, now I want that

Just a follow up on this. Ended up with the Asus ROG laptop with the Nvidia GTX 960M GPU and it has been working great.

Which model?

Wow, just found this old thread. Five years later and not only did we buy that model, but we bought two of them. Both are still in daily use. One is on and sitting beside me right now. Liesl uses it for things like RPG Maker and AGS. The other is the kids bedroom video gaming machine, still. These were some great purchases. They really held up.
