Going Mobile in India – Xavier Tests the HP Envy 13 on the Road

by Josh Smith on December 7, 2009

Short Version:

Xavier shares how he is using technology while traveling in India.

Fellow Notebooks.com blogger Xavier is on a trip to India, one I am very jealous of, to celebrate his brother-in-law’s wedding and he is documenting how he is staying connected and working while in Mumbai. Xavier’s main rig on the trip is an HP Envy 13″ notebook, which the more I hear about, the more I want one.

For the most part he is sharing the experience through posts at GottaBeMobile with reports on airplane seats made for geeks and how he uses the HP Envy 13 to get work done and even play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 while out on a wedding shopping excursion.

Xavier, an avid photographer, has also been taking plenty of photos during his trip and recently shared many of them in a 5 minute music video which he created on the HP Envy in just 15 minutes using Muvee. You can watch “My time in Mumbai So Far” on Facebook and personally I’m blown away that you can create a music video like that with photos in 15 minutes. It blows a traditional slideshow out of the water!

If you want a chance to win your own HP Envy 13″ Notebook they are giving one away at the Wheel of Questions.

Here’s Xavier reporting from the street, literally, and you can hear a bit more about his trip and the technology he has with him.

I've just reviewed the larger 15-inch Envy 15 and found it to be a good notebook, but it's footprint to be too large to be really portable. I imagine the Envy 13 must be more usable in this respect, and I look forward to using one myself!

Thanks for the video report, Xavier!

I agree that the Envy 15 is too big to use as a mobile rig, especially when traveling half way around the world, but it's pretty mobile for a 15-incher. The Envy 13 is definitely better suited for what I'm doing- combo of work and multimedia.
