I have the 'first gen' Envy 15 and absolutely love it. If I were to buy a new laptop now I'd go with the new 15" MBP though. The big thing is in the battery life. Sure you have 5-6 hours on the Envy but that's with the big and heavy battery slice attached. The MBP will I'm sure go over 7 hours stock. Still, I bought my Envy about 6 months ago, so I'm not upset (at least that's what I'll tell myself).

I get about 4h on my 10-days-old mbp battery, fwiw. Apple's benchmarks are as unrealistically optimistic as everyone else's. (I complained about this to a long-time mac user, and he said "You're probably using it with the display on.")
