We'd be lying if we said we were frenemies with
Gossip Girl's goings-on (one of them's in the
Pretty Reckless, right?). Fom the picture above, it looks like Serena van der Woodsen's shipping magnate father must have lifted this
HP Envy 14 Spectre off the back of one of his shipments, given that the glass-built
Ultrabook doesn't arrive in stores until February 8th. It wouldn't be the first time the show's squeezed in some unrealistic product placement: there was the time Serena had a SIM-card packing
Verizon Droid X, or when someone had actually
bought a Kin.
