My Racing Notebook

So I got one of the first pre-production Envy notebooks. We designed it so the external carbon panels can be removed in roughly 20 minutes for paint and personalization. You'll have to excuse the depth of field in these pictures, I was using a 1.2 aperature lens. However, if you want to see much better quality images check out the images over here.

We maintain the inside carbon fiber to add a cool "two-tone" effect to the notebook. The inside carbon fiber is formed from a very fine hex-weave, the closer you look the more you appreciate it.

The nice thing about the black interior is there is no distraction if you have a bright colored notebook and you're staring at the display -one of my biggest complaints with the old Envy.

My Envy is painted in Scuderia Red (same color used on some Ferrari Enzo's). I asked our painter to add a racing stripe in the Italian Flag colors - similar to the Ferrari F360 Stradale. He actually wrapped the stripes all the way around the unit which created a beautiful effect - especially around the hinge area.

We then engraved it with a little personal message, as it's my personal notebook, "Rahul Sood's Racing Edition". You can see the engraving on the underside, it's done with a laser engraver that we recently installed in our factory. We also added the same engraving to the soft carrying pocket that the new Envy ships with.

When your new Envy notebook is closed the color you choose wraps the entire notebook complimenting the smooth spolier-lip line of the black interior - I believe not even a wordsmith can describe the beauty of this notebook. You have to see it in person to truly appreciate it, this notebook is stunning.

I can't wait to whip this out at the security line at the airport...or Starbucks... it's going to be a gong show.
