HP has announced a new laptop if you are in the market for something that’s not too small as a netbook or as big as a notebook. The new Pavilion dv3500t, though smaller in size compared to other notebooks at just 13 inches (a first for HP), comes packed with hardware that will see you through Crysis without a hitch. The baseline configuration features a Core 2 Duo T5800 processor, 2 gigs of RAM, a GeForce 9300M GS graphics card, and a 160GB harddrive. This can be further bumped up to 8GB of RAM, 400GB of space, or have a higher CPU with a choice of four models up to Core 2 Duo T9400, provided you have the cash for it. Its 13.3-inch display can also be upgraded to an LED-backlit display for an extra $100, which takes away almost half a pound off its 4.1-pound weight. The dv3500t also has an HDMI port, an eSATA port tucked away inside a USB port, a fingerprint scanner, and a webcam. Throwing down a further $29 can get you a six-cell battery instead of the standard four-cell battery that this notebook carries.
If you like what you see, the HP Pavilion dv3500t is available now for sale with the base configuration starting at just $999.
LG Electronics is planning to launch its Atom-based netbook in October this year and since most of the company’s notebooks were manufactured by Micro-Star International (MSI), the netbook is also expected to be manufactured by the Taiwan maker, according to sources.
