    More new notebooks in addition to the HDX16 and HDX18 are on their way. The HP Pavilion dv3500 series notebooks and a special edition design of the dv5 are also coming soon!

    The dv3500 will use the "Intersect" imprint, while the dv5 Special Edition will use the "Renewal" imprint.

    Haven't got any word on specs or how much they will cost as of yet. We will see soon enough I guess.

    Nice find! Now we know roughly the specifications for the dv3500, as well as the pricing for the dv4, dv5, and dv3500 special edition series.

    I noticed that the overview says that the dv4 and dv5 Special Edition use the "Intersect" imprint while I said in the original post that the dv5 Special Edition used the "Renewal" imprint. Perhaps there will be two different special edition imprints?
