Pros

Less expensive than ultrabooks.
Good port selection.
Metal construction.
Beats Audio.
Decent graphics.
USB 3.0 ports.

Cons

Sluggish performance.
Loaded with bloatware.
Low-resolution display.
Screen door effect on display.
Fingerprint magnet.
Doesn't have a solid-state hard drive.
Some of the construction still feels a bit budget.
You're trading down to AMD's A-series processors, which are not as fast or power efficient as comparable Intel parts.

HP has positioned its AMD-powered Envy Sleekbook 6-1010us as a lower-priced alternative to Intel-certified ultrabooks. Unfortunately, the axiom that "you get what you pay for" applies here. It's underpowered, has a mediocre screen, and may feel slow...
