    HP unveiled their new 3115m notebook this morning, which takes the dm1 and dresses it up ever so slightly for the business section of the market. The 3115m is most interesting for its Beats Audio branding, showing that HP is starting to push their 'premium audio' solution outside of the consumer space.

    I wonder - why they are still making business-oriented notebooks which do not have separate home/end/pgup/pgdown keys?

    Out of curiosity, what makes you think that business users use those keys more often, as a group, than consumers?

    well by saying "business users" I think of people who work a lot with documents (word/excel), programmers and students.
    the other group are people who use computer mostly for gaming or internet surfing (like news sites, facebook, etc.).

    Wait, HP is rebranding consumer models for their business line? Is this the only instance of such rebranding? I thought the traditional argument about HP was that there was a night-and-day difference in quality between their consumer models and their business models.

    I think that most of it, but also the fact business models generally have better support, or at least is offered with it(like on-site service).
