    Hope they stick a decent GPU in those. I can't wait for switchable graphics.

    I guess it is just because the integrated GPU are easier to build, so they are the first coming.

    Don't all Arrandale chips have integrated graphics? This will make battery life quite a bit nicer on newer systems with switchable graphics. Otherwise, whats the point of buying say DV6 and then just using built-in video?

    Yes all Arrandale cpu's have a gpu on the die. I for one am looking forward integrated only notebooks in the 11.6"/12" space because right now I use integrated and it suites me fine. The most graphically intense thing I do is play 5 year old Sim City 4, and the GMA 4500 plays HD video fine.

    the dv3 refresh is getting arrandale too. It has the touchscreen and may or may not make it over to North America. Another new feature will be an instant on linux OS similar to what most other companies have been doing.

    Nothing. It is the lowest of the new Arrandale processors and does not feature all of the goodies i5 and i7 have like Turbo Boost.

    Was looking forward to the 620M. Any chance we could get this as an upgrade.

    The price for the Dv6 is atrocious though, just awful.

    What happened to HP's dm4? The dv4i looks like the dv4t chassis, except it comes with a newer finish.

    That Mini 210 HD looks like an Envy chassis...HP should give it a battery slice option to make it a 24 hour netbook. ;)


    I'm waiting for more info on the Envy 17 but if they're still putting out notebooks with the Mobility 4000 series I'm probobaly going to be disappointed. ;(
