    I just ran across this HP Pavilion dv3-1075us at CircuitCity.com- http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-dv3-1075us-13-3-Widescreen-Laptop-dv3-1075us/sem/rpsm/oid/233794/catOid/-12963/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

    It's priced at $899 (after $50 rebate) and looks very similar to the dv3510nr "Blue Label" model from Best Buy. This version has a 2.1GHz AMD Turion X2 RM-72 and ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3200 integrated graphics. It also has a basic 1-year warranty, unlike the dv3510nr's 2-year warranty.

    The LED display, backlit keyboard and most other features appear to be included (except Bluetooth).

    Personally, I'd pay the extra $200 for the Intel P7350, nVIDIA 9300M GS, Bluetooth and 2-year Warranty. It's actually only $100 more this week, the dv3510nr is on sale for $999.

    The price on this new model will likely be a bit lower once it show up....maybe $799?
