does the Hp ENVY 14 beats edition, and an Ethernet port? the link above doesn't say, but I've seen videos reviewing it showing that it does. I don't like wireless.Hp envy 14 beats question?
HP Beats is HP's high-end notebook %26amp; this one has a Class 2, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650, which would be good for gaming.
Go back to the website, then click on the Specs tab %26amp; you should be able to see this:
Network Card External 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN RJ-45 connect
On the computer's right side, you have the port for the input power jack, then the vents, then the squarish hole is the Ethernet port.

Playing for long hours? Get a COOLER MASTER U2 Notebook Cooler w/c has dual purposes. Cool thing about it is, you can position the fans on the right spot for better ventialation. When travelling, detach the easily detacheable dual fan, then use the aluminum frame as a protection for your laptop's screen when inside the bag. I got mine from MicroCenter.com for $15, 48% cheaper than the regular $25 tag (FRYS.com SKU#: 6344931).

If you're looking for an affordable, not so big, yet best in performance gaming laptop,
LOOK NO FURTHER.
Like me, get the MSI GT680R 15.6"-full HD GAMING NOTEBOOK which comes with the 2nd Generation Core i7 Processor 2630QM, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB Hard Disk Drive (2 x 500GB 7200rpm SATA HDD) %26amp; a powerful Class 1, 1.5GB NVIDIA GTX460M DDR5 dedicated graphics card that can handle DirectX 11 enhancing the 3D detail effects from FRYS.com (SKU#: 6547393).
I got the chance to use the laptop first hand at the FRYS store. I came back to check out the laptop every hour for 6 hrs %26amp; found out that the air from the vent of the laptop remained cool compared to any other laptops on display there, meaning this laptop has proper heat management, that means this laptop can handle long hours of gruelling play. Now, I'm all stewed up saving to buy this b4 Blizzard releases Diablo 3.
The MSI GT680R 15.6" Gaming Notebook w/ the Intel庐 Core鈩?i-7 retails for $1,499.99 (+ tax %26amp; other sur-charges; www.FRYS.com). I chose to pay more to have the newest technology so that I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT GETTING OUTDATED WITHIN THE NEXT 11 YRS.

Additional info, read on:
I used to work for a big name computer company %26amp; usually received a lot of call regarding battery issues.
A brand new computer's battery comes w/ a Standard 1yr Limited Warranty w/c means the expected life time of battery is only 1 year. Same thing goes for the charger.
So, if you don't know how to take care of it, it will die out on you sooner than than expected.
FYI: I always tell my customers, a laptop's battery is similar to a cell phone's. You charge it when it's depleted %26amp; you unplug the adapter when it is already fully charge (this will prevent the battery from getting overcharged %26amp; extend the life of the battery). So for less hassle, I always advice my customers to just remove the battery if they plan to use the computer for long hours straight (more than 1 hour) and just run it on AC power alone so as not to overcharge it %26amp; shorten the battery life.
ONLY USE THE BATTERY FOR PORTABILITY, if you're on a trip, at McDonalds or Starbucks.
If your not after its portability, you can use it just plugged into the wall socket all the time.
For chargers, make sure you don't stretch out the cable too much that the one by the power jack that you plug into the side of the computer gets bent. Make sure this part is always straight or else the copper wires inside will break %26amp; soon you'll have the problem of the charger not working anymore like what happened to some of my callers.
