New HP Pavilion notebooks out in Asia
Just a quick follow-up to our earlier story about HP's new laptop bonanza: turns out the new machines are already announced in Asia, and US pricing has managed to tag along with them. Turns out there is more than one "fancy" pattern on the new laptop casings. Depending on if you buy the HP Pavilion dv2600, Pavilion dv6500 and Compaq Presario B1200 laptops, you'll get casing styles called Verve, Influx and Trace (or, in layman's terms, Wierd Wispy Black, White Notches, and Blue-ish Fingerprint, respectively.) All three models will be available from $1,049-1,099 and should be hitting Asia this month, with country specific models to come.
HP intros white dv6500 CT Special Edition laptop
'Round these parts, we can't help but show a little extra love for anything slapped with an oh-so-coveted "limited edition" label, and for folks in the market for a new HP laptop (and residing in Japan, by the way), here's one especially for you. The dv6500 CT Special Edition is said to be limited to 1,000 units and will reportedly sport a 15.4-inch LCD, an Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 processor, VGA output, several USB ports, and a 1,280 x 800 resolution panel -- but it sounds like everything else can be customized to your liking. The most glaring difference here, however, is the snow white casing and Special Edition badges, which will surely incite envy in those who didn't quite get their orders in on time. Prices start at just ¥119,700 ($979) for the most basic of configurations, but you may as well splurge on the CTO extras if you actually manage to secure a unit, no?[Via AVing]UPDATE: Seems like this machine may not be limited to Japan after all, huzzah!
