    They have added 2 notebooks in, the HDX18t and the dv3500t series. There also have been many modifications to the customization choices on many laptops. For example, the dv5t now offers a 12 cell battery, up to 8GB (ripoffs) of ram on a couple of models, different processor choices, and some price changes (looks like they rose, unfortunately).

    There is more, go check it out.

    P releases Pavilion dv3500t, its first 13.3-inch laptop

    HP releases
    We're all about milestones here at Engadget, so today we'd like to congratulate HP on releasing its first 13.3-inch laptop, the Pavilion dv3500t. Yes, it's been a struggle for the company, missing just high and low of this (apparent?) sweet-spot, which strikes a good blend between power and portability with Core 2 Duo processors ranging from 2.0 to 2.53 GHz, RAM up to 8GB, and up to 400GB worth of disk space if you want it, backed up by an an 8X, dual-layer, Super Multi DVD writer. Gigabit Ethernet is on the back, while ports for USB (3), HDMI, and a 5-in-1 card reader occupy the sides, all in a package that weighs in at just over 4 pounds. That new screen delivers a respectable 1280 x 800 resolution and, if you're willing to cough up $100 extra over the $999.99 starting price, you can opt for an LED backlight. If only you could opt out of that garish "Intersect Imprint"

    ****....I might have picked that up if it had been out last month.

    I just spend more than 5 hours with HP today and trying to get a straight exchange. The last Thing I want to do is give them more money.

    I actually like HP 13 inch better than dells only because of the eSata port and the color.

    Yeah, I noticed that too. Some of the models actually went UP in price when they released the new models and updated their site.
