With the launch of seven new notebooks on May 9, HPs laptop line has just expanded in a big way.
Five of these systems are business laptops and the remaining two are consumer laptops showcasing new and sleek designs. The new HP Pavilion dv2000 and the Compaq Presario V3000 will sport a new piano (black and silver) high-gloss finish inspired by “the latest design trends in fashion, furniture and art.”
The imprints embedded into this new surface resemble wavy patterns inspired by a “Japanese Zen Garden.” The imprint finish is a molding process and a technology used in Nissha film products, which can also be found in cell phone casings and luxury car interiors.
The dv2000 and the V3000 will eventually replace the dv1000 and V2000 series, respectively. Both models will have a range of dual-core processors to choose from, including the Intel Core Duos and the highly anticipated AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core processors. Notebooks with the Intel processors will be available right away.
