HP's Pavilion dv3 and dm1 wash ashore on European land

As one of the last two Vista holdouts on HP's online laptop store (the other being HDX16), we were wondering what was going on with the Pavilion dv3. Well, it's still not stateside, but Germany and the UK can apparently pick up the Windows 7-equipped touchscreen dv3-2200 now for £799.99 / €899 (somewhere between $1,305 and $1,350, respectively, in comparable US currency), with difference of pricing based on the separate listings. Additionally, we spotted the 11.6-inch dm1-1000 -- which was also leaked alongside the dv3 -- with a 1.2GHz Celeron processor and that hot new OS from Redmond. We're sure it'll come to the US eventually, but for now we're just gonna have to wait ever, ever so patiently.

[Thanks, Adam and everyone]

this doesnt pertain to this laptop so its a little offtopic, but i noticed some hp laptops have the touchpad moved slightly to the left (not center aligned)

is there a specific reason for that? my only guess is its designed to be more ergonomic for right handers, which is really lame for left handers

Sometimes it can be for ergonomic reasons. Other times, the laptop will feature a keypad and, instead of centering the touchpad with the whole laptop, they choose to center it with the the standard keyboard area which pushes it a bit left. This is probably most likely so that your hands are closer to the area of the keyboard that gets used most.

I already own three*. Why would I want to be ripped off?

*For family. Each $29 ;)

Who said anything about ripping off? :/

I would like to know more about the HP ProBook 5310m. LaptopMag reviewed it before the Windows 7 release, and they gave it very good scores, but it's been a pretty quiet release. I need a small, portable Windows running machine.

Didn't the DV3 come to the US in the form of DV3510?

No dedicated graphics option on the DM1 like was rumored ):
