The Toshiba Satellite A665-S5176, the first laptop in the US market with the 2nd Generation Intel Core i3 processor, is now available.

The Satellite A665-S5176 is currently offered via Adorama and On Sale and includes the Core i3-2310M 2.1GHz dual-core CPU at 2.1GHz. Unlike its higher-end “Sandy Bridge” Core i5 and i7 counterparts, the i3-2310M doesn’t support Intel TurbooBoost performance boosting technology.

The laptop runs on integrated Intel HD graphics and features 1366×768 screen resolution, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, Blu-ray combo drive, Windows 7 Home Premium OS, and Toshiba’s Fusion X2 Finish.

The Toshiba Satellite A665-S5176 is priced at $799.99 (Adorama) and $809.99 (On Sale).

UPDATE: The Satellite A665-S5176 (PSAW6U-00H003) is apparently affected by the Intel Cougar Point chipset issue.

See that up there? That’s the new HP dm4, and you better believe that this aluminum housed 14-inch laptop not only packs a Core i5 processor and plenty of sex appeal, but starts at $729. In a nutshell, that’s basically the whole story of the four new HP Pavilions — gone are the glossy lids and LED touch shortcuts, though remaining in tact are the affordable prices and mainstream power. The inch-thick dm4 happens to be our favorite of the bunch — it’s got a soft etched pattern along the lid, chiclet-style keyboard, on-board optical drive, and is available with different Core i5 CPU and ATI discrete graphics options. And if that 14-incher isn’t for you, there’s also the 14.5-inch dv5, which instead of the brushed aluminum lid, has a matte imprinted cover that’s available in black, red and champagne. Starting at $649, the dv5 is available with Core i3, i5 and AMD’s upcoming Turion II processors, and while it doesn’t have discrete graphics options, the Intel versions will support Intel’s WiDi technology.

Going on up in size, the 15.6-inch Pavilion dv6 is all about choices — you can configure it with either a brushed aluminum or HP Imprint finish, a mulitouch screen, and AMD or Intel Core 2010 processors. The AMD variant will start at $530 and the Intel Core i5 version at $649. Last but not least is the dv7 powerhouse, which now has a Beats Audio option. No surprises here, the 17-incher can be pimped with quad-core AMD or Intel CPUs and ATI discrete graphics.
