HP dv2

The HP Pavilion dv2 is finally available for purchase – albeit available only in one configuration right now priced at $749.99. This notebook ushers in the age of “affordable ultraportables” – systems that are small, fairly inexpensive, and decent performing. While $749.99 is certainly more expensive than the original $699 starting price, you do get quite a bit for this system including:

  • AMD Athlon Neo processor (MV-40)
  • 12.1 inch 1280 x 800 LED BrightView Widescreen Display
  • 4GB DDR2 memory
  • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3410 graphics
  • Ethernet and 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi
  • SuperMulti 8x DVD+-/R/RW with DL support
  • 320GB 5400 RPM SATA HDD
  • 6 cell lithium ion battery
  • 3 USB ports
  • HDMI output
  • Altec Lansing with SRS Premium Sound

PC Magazine is one of the first out with a review of the dv2 – having this to say about the system:

“The HP Pavilion dv2 (1030-us) is a more powerful and louder version of the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, and it’s aimed at the frugal shopper.”

Apparently heat is a slight issue with the dv2 resulting in a louder fan – something netbook users are certainly not accustomed to all the time.
