HP has launched the Envy M4, a lightweight, 14-inch laptop with an aluminum framework.

It comes with a choice of Intel Core i3 and i5 CPUs, up to 8GB of RAM and an HDD, capped at 1TB, with the possibility of getting a 32GB mSATA SSD cache.

The screen resolution is 1,366x768, but unfortunately, there is no discrete graphics option.

It's not quite as thin as your regular ultrabook, but the Envy M4 makes up for that with a relatively low price, which starts at $899.

HP also launched two colorful Pavilion laptops -- the Pavilion Sleekbook 14 and 15. The smaller, 14-inch model comes with AMD processors, while the 15.6-inch model has Intel processors and a number pad on its keyboard. Otherwise, the two machines are nearly identical.

Options include Nvidia discrete graphics, up to 1TB of storage and a 32GB mSATA SSD cache option.

As far as pricing goes, the devices start at $499 and $559, respectively.

All of the above come with Windows 8, and go on sale starting Oct. 26.
