This Windows powered tablet never hit the market for normal consumer consumption with the company instead targeting it towards the business world. Well, it seems that the tablet’s first iteration was successful enough because HP has announced today that they will be following the device up with a second generation appropriately dubbed the Slate 2.

This tablet will be made available sometime this month starting at $699 featuring an 8.9-inch display with 1024 x 600 resolution, Intel Atom processor, 64GB of SSD storage and of course Windows 7.

Will this tablet fare well on the market? We haven’t a clue but stay tuned as we’ll keep you posted.

There’s nothing wrong with that. The Pavilion dm1z is a pretty good notebook. It’s just unusual for HP to slap a business label on one of its consumer notebooks with so few other changes, although it has been known to happen from time to time.

According to the spec sheet, the HP 3105m will have an 11.6 inch, 1366 x  768 pixel display, a 1.6 GHz AMD E-350 dual core processor, AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics, and support for 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of memory.

The laptop has a 6 cell, 55Whr battery, measures 11.5″ x 8.5″ x 0.8″ and weighs about 3.5 pounds.

One area where the business version of the laptop shines is customization options. In addition to support for up to 8GB of RAM, HP will offer the HP 3105m with Windows 7 Starter, Home Premium, or Pro, or FreeDOS. You’ll be able to get a 5400rpm or 7200rpm hard drive. And a variety of wireless options will be available including Bluetooth 3.0, 802.11a/b/g/n, and 3G.

Notebook Italia reports the notebook will be available in May for $449 and up.

Previously Intel-only series now includes the AMD Vision-branded Pavilion g4, g6, and g7 pre-configured models, such as the g4-1015dx, g6-1a60us, and g7-1075dx, all with dual-core AMD CPUs and Radeon 4250 integrated graphics.

AMD-based notebooks used to be cheaper than their Intel counterparts, but the prices are very similar in this case. For example, the 15.6″ g6-1a60us with the AMD Athlon II P360 2.3GHz, 4GB of RAM, and a 320GB HDD costs $530.94 (Amazon), while the g6-1a69us with the faster Intel Core i3-380M 2.53GHz CPU, 4GB RAM and a larger 500GB hard drive can be found for $549.99 (HP).

However, advantage of AMD models could be better graphics performance of the Radeon 4250, when compared to Intel’s HD integrated GPUs found in currently available g Pavilions.

Priced at $299.99 at Best Buy, with free shipping included, the ultra-affordable Presario CQ56-115DX by HP incorporates a low-end and power-efficient AMD V-Series V140 2.3GHz single-core processor and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 integrated graphics. It also has 2GB of DDR3 memory, a 250GB hard disk drive with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-loaded, a DVD burner, and a 1366 x 768 LED backlight display.

The battery life is up to 4 hours and 15 minutes, according to the product page.

HP’s CQ56-115DX has three USB ports, and Wi-Fi and Ethernet LAN connections, but lacks a webcam and HDMI output.

It sports a simplistic black chassis and weighs 5.6-pounds.

The latter is expectedly on the top end when it comes to specs, with it boasting your choice of Sandy Bridge processors up to a Core i7-2920XM, either AMD FirePro or NVIDIA Quadro graphics with up to 4GB of memory, and up to three hard drives with RAID 5 support. The other two EliteBooks each dial things down a bit across the board, but you can still get up to a Core i7-2820QM on each of them, and there’s not even an option for integrated graphics. Look for all three to be available next month with base prices starting at $1,299, $1,349 and $1,899 — full press release is after the break.

The ProBook 4530s is based on Intel’s “Sandy Bridge” processors, ranging from the dual-core i3-2310M to quad-core i7-2630QM. These CPUs include the Intel HD 3000 graphics, which is the only available GPU option on this notebook. The laptop comes with up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, up to 750GB of hard drive capacity, and a DVD burner or Blu-ray combo optical drive.

The LED-backlight anti-glare display has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.

For networking, there are 802.11n wireless, Gigabit LAN, optional Bluetooth, and optionally built-in mobile broadband.

HP’s 4530s includes a 720p HD web camera in select models, microphone, stereo speakers, three USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port, HDMI and VGA connectors, optional fingerprint reader, an ExpressCard slot, and a media card reader.

The s-series ProBook has a brushed-aluminum finish in metallic gray color, a spill-resistant isle-style keyboard, and a starting weight of 5.22 pounds with the standard 6-cell battery.

The HP ProBook 4530s runs Windows 7 operating system and features HP QuickWeb instant-on OS for quick access to the Internet, without Windows boot up.

The laptop has a base price of $579.

The screen width is 15.4 inch diagonal weighing only 6, 1 ib/2.77 kg which is as thin as 1, 1 in/28 mm. hard drive is HP 3D Drive guard with two slots supporting dual channel memory. The chipset- mobile Intel PM965. It specially features removable media with 12.7 mm optical drives, Blu- ray Disc DVD+/-RW Super Multi DL, DVD/CD-RW Combo, and DVD-ROM.

Besides the refreshed case design, the updated 15.6-inch HP Pavilion dv6t Select Edition and 17.3-inch dv7t Select Edition come with the latest Intel Core “Sandy Bridge” dual- and quad-core processors and optional AMD Radeon HD 6000M series graphics. The 15.6″ dv6t Quad Edition, and 17.3″ dv7t Quad Edition have been already available with “Sandy Bridge” quad-core CPUs and Radeon HD 6000M, but now also have the new design.

The standard Pavilion dv6t and dv7t still come with the previous generation Intel Core “Arrandale” chips.

On the lower-end of the lineup, there are the new 14″ Pavilion g4t, 15.6″ Pavilion g6t and g6x, and 17.3″ Pavilion g7t, which all have the “Arrandale” dual-core processors and dual-core Pentiums in select models, as well as integrated Intel HD graphics and Radeon 6000M choices.

The g6t and g6x are apparently the same notebooks, with slightly different color choices, but HP says the g6t is for home users, while the g6x is for businesses.

Prices of the Pavilion dv6t Select Edition, dv7t Select Edition, dv6t Quad, and dv7t Quad start at $799.99, $899.99, $999.99, and $1,099.99, respectively.

The g series g4t and g7t start at $499.99 and $599.99, respectively. Because of different basic configurations, the g6t has a base price of $519.99, whereas the g6x starts at $549.99.

All notebooks can be purchased now at Hewlett-Packard’s online store.

The estimated build date for all models is March 25th.

HP’s updated their Mini 110 and 210 netbooks with the new processor over in Japan, so you can expect the same updates soon on the Western markets.

Looking at the price of the Atom N550 HP Mini 110, with the same 1GB, 250GB and Windows 7 Starter – there’s roughly a $100 price difference (29,800 yen vs 39,800 yen) here. Not good value for pretty much what we would expect to be no appreciable difference in performance. Then again, we’ve seen both the dual core N550 and N570 models of the Acer Aspire One D255E go up for pre-order at Amazon.com for the same price of $330.

Besides the 17.3-inch 3D-capable full HD display, the Envy 17 3D features the Core i7-2630QM or i7-2820QM processor, Radeon HD 6850M 1GB GDDR5 video card, up to 8GB of RAM, dual hard drive / solid state drive bays, and a Blu-ray combo drive.

The laptop ships with 3D active shutter glasses and starts at $1,599.99 at the HP official online store.
