A little too much bezel but its a very nice business machine.

 

Yeah, it does look nice. A 2.8GHz T9600 in a 13.3" form factor . . . that is something else.

Looks like it has one of those chiclet-style keyboards; I wonder how many notebook manufacturers are going to use them. It's almost a trend now, like magnetic closing lids were not so long ago.

 

This new series notebook adds a finer quality, and lends a feature of advisable portability. And it's having an exclusive mouse, have the capability of three-in-one; screen wipe, screen protector and mouse pad.

The price of the notebooks isn’t officially announced ?

 

It starts at US$779 according to HP's site. The base model has a nice configuration:
-C2D T6570
-2GB RAM
-320GB 7200RPM
-Vista Business

The top-end model at the moment is only $999.

 

I'd love to see a review on this notebook and how it compares against Acer Timeline series (the one using C2D SU9400), especially in terms of : heat, noise, and battery life.

 

Chaz, would you happen to know when the ATI 4330HD is going to be available on this little laptop?

It sure looks nice and quite powerful, and very price-friendly for what it offers.

 

if only this had the elitebook build quality I would probably grab this for college =/

 

Yeah that T9600 is nice. BUT if im getting a 13" notebook i think im going p series for sure.

 

1366 x 768 display, 4 cell battery and a footprint that is only slightly smaller than my 14.1" Dell E6400. I'll pass.

Everything looks nice . . . except for that bezel. It really is a 14" notebook with a 13" display...

 

I think the bezel on this one is fine. sure it is a little big but i like how all the matte black flows.

 

Does it have a light up keyboard?

And with the integrated gpu, higher res screen, and 7 hours battery life it would be prefect for me

 

Clutch, you are almost asking for something new there...lol

 

sounds like you'd be more interested in Asus U/UX series

 

this hp should b more famous in my opinion
haven't anyone bought this yet?
what about heat & noise
no info on this piece, i guess

 

It is still a rather new laptop with very basic specs, so dont expect it to be such a market-breaker, when there are tons of laptops similar to this one.

I am more interested in the 4330HD version.

 

I guess it depends as well, if you are looking for a notebook that will last very long and you are on a budget this may be the way to go.

 

so u would buy this one or buy the acer timeline 3810t the one with su9400 and 80 gb ssd hard (which i really like)
but the thing is i need the more reliable one coz my budget wont let me buy another laptop soon
