HP's Pavilion dv9000t media laptop
HP's latest model of their media power laptop lineup, the dv9000 series, now has one more option for users to configure when they go to order theirs: Core 2 Duo. It's not as though we haven't seen enough of these Core 2 Duo machines already this week (and truth be told, we still don't see a C2D option on their site), but we assume the new dv9000t will be configurable with the same as their previous dv9000 release (the one that featured an AMD Turioun 64 X2) with a 17-inch 1680 x 1050 or 1440 x 900 widescreen display, dual SATA RAID drives, 256MB GeForce Go 7600 graphics, 5-in-1 media reader, 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth, dual-layer DVD burner with LightScribe, ExpressCard/54, HDMI, and the like. Weights start at 7.8 pounds, thickness at 1.57-inches, and prices at $1,200.[Via Laptop Mag]Update: did we mention that the dv6000t with Core 2 Duo is out, too? Because it is, and Laptop mag even has a review of one. We think you know what to expect, yeah?
HP Pavilion DV6000 and DV9000 laptops
The 15.4 and 17-inch iterations of HP's consumer-centric Pavilion line of laptops have gotten another update from two less-than jaw dropping, at least performance-wise, machines. Both the DV6000 and DV9000 come out of the box with an ExpressCard slot, Altec Lansing speakers, an optional webcam, a 5-in-1 media readers and your choice of an AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core or a plain old AMD Sempron processor. The 7.8-pound DV9000 (replacing the DV8000) sports a 17-inch WXGA (yuck) or WSXGA screen, a dual hard disk configuration and NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics. The 6.5-pound DV6000 (replacing the DV5000) rocks a 15.4-inch WXGA screen, as well as the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7200 card, for a starting price around $850. Things get slightly more impressive on the outside, with same piano black, Zen rock garden-inspired design as the smaller DV2000. The DV6000 is available on HP's website right now for a starting price of $879, but you'll have to sit and meditate a little longer while they prepare the DV9000.
