After a successful experiment with leather, HP is taking its natural material vibe to the next level with the new Envy Wood series. No, they haven’t exactly been carved out of redwood trees by artisan lumberjacks, but they do come with a “one-of-a-kind authentic wood inlay” on the palm rest. Wood aside, these are pretty much the same machines as their fully metal predecessors, only now with options for unspecified “next-generation” Intel Core processors and 2nd-gen AMD Ryzen chips with Vega graphics. The Envy Wood series is set to be available this autumn, just in time for the fall leaves. The Verge could not independently confirm reports that next year’s HP laptops will be constructed entirely out of beetle chitin.
