    Looks like the Acer M3/M5 with so much glare.

    I wonder why they got rid of the Beats Audio and the backlit keyboard? I was looking at the keyboard and there doesn't appear to be a toggle switch for it. Sad news indeed.

    At least in this next round they made the AMD model the 14.0" and the Intel model the 15.6". I can't help but notice the resemblance to the g4/g6/g7. They are however significantly slimmer and lighter. Colors are nice too. Will the case be made from aluminium and plastic or just plastic? That large exhaust vent is great and should help these stay cool under pressure. :thumbsup:

    I didn't even notice the buttons on the touchpad on this new Pavilion Sleekbook unlike the current Sleekbooks. I prefer two seperate physical buttons. I've read online that there will be a 1080p display available but no one specifies for which model it'll be available for. I'm speculating it'll be the same 15.6" panel that was/is available on the current dv6. I can't see HP offering a 1080p display for the 14.0" AMD Pavilion Sleekbook. There is however a 14.0" 1600x900 matte display available in the ProBook 6475b that I would love to see available in this! Please do it HP, its not too much to ask for and you would make a lot of people happy! :)
