    While browsing through HP's online shop earlier, I saw this pretty neat looking notebook. Wonder if it's part of HP's upcoming Vista-ready Business notebooks?

    I've never seen this before and it looks like a cross between an nx/nc/nw8400 and dv6000. Front mounted headphone jacks :(

    It's found when I was checking out prices for CarePacks at the Malaysian store (random browsing).

    If you work for HP, promise not to remove this ok? :)

    Sort of looks like a dv6000.

    It's definitely not a dv6000 because of the position of the HP logo and the headphone jacks. It's really mysterious though.

    If you look at the touchpad, which is placed in the middle, you realize that it's a 14" model or smaller.
    This is a budget model with a PM/CM CPU and 915 chipset. Move along people, nothing to see here... How come none of you checked the product sites?
    Remember that there are models available in Asia only, like the good looking B1800 and B2800, and the newer B1900.
