USB 3.0 now available in HP Envy 15 notebooks

The HP Envy 15 heralds USB 3.0 by being the first notebook from a mainstream brand to offer the new interface. USB 3.0 will come standard on models with a Core i7 CPU and the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5830 GPU. The HP EliteBook will receive the same treatment in the coming weeks. Exciting, I know.
