HP Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 spruced up for Windows 8

Laptops with touch screens aren't new territory for HP. Windows 8 and its touch-friendly interface, however, gives consumers more of a reason to have one, even on traditional laptop designs like the new HP Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4.

It looks like a pretty standard laptop, albeit a nice-looking one, with brushed black metal on the outside with nothing but a simple HP logo decorating the lid. There's silver trim around the outside giving you a hint about the brushed silver metal inside surrounding the keyboard.

 The ultrabook branding may make you think the Envy is especially thin and light; it is not. However, at just less than an inch thick and weighing 4.7 pounds, it's certainly not huge and heavy.

VIDEO: ALICIA KEYS REMINISCES IN HP PROMO

Alicia Keys looks back on the beginning of her career in a promo for “The Beat Is On with HP” campaign. In the clip, the glowing songstress recalls recording her debut Songs in A Minor in her Harlem bedroom, turning her closet into a booth, and driving her fellow tenants nuts.

“You could imagine how we tortured the neighbors. They would bang on the ceiling with a broom come three or four in the morning and I’m sitting here singing passionately at the top of my voice,” she said. “I really feel like a lot of that is the reason why that album has the particular feeling that it does, because we didn’t have anything. Sometimes, when you don’t have much, you make the best out of what you have and it makes a vibe and an energy.”

Take a stroll down memory lane with the R&B songbird.
