i used to own v3000 series (got snatched 2 weeks earlier. DAMN THIEF!)

the integrated graphic can easily rise to 100 degree during intense gaming. 90 if playing warcraft3. 70 i think is ok for me,considering a very thin notebook. for me la

The dual core white version is coming soon. Like, this week.

That's the one I want, since they replaced the graphics from HD3410 + 690G to HD3200 (780G all in one). Slightly less graphics oomph, but uses less power. Games like L4D should be playable now with an extra core.


In fact it makes the original Neo CPU look kinda retarded.

Neo X1 1.6Ghz - 15W
Neo X2 1.6Ghz - 18W (and 780G saves power)


And did I mention that it's white? Aww.

What about black color?

thx for the updates..

I assume they have the black version as usual.

But black one looks so fugly, especially the white circles on it. Awfully tacky.


The white one was the one that I had my eyes on from the start. *ahem*

I got CQ40 402AX and DV2 at my shop, will check the temp on both systems when i'm free.

if the screen panel also white would be even nicer...

Yes, btw the bundled external DVD writer is black also.

White keys green letters are hardly seen. Less contrast as compared to black keys.

I'm okay with the current white/black layout though.


Personally I like edge-flush LCD displays (as they look way more classy than the older notebooks where your LCD screen "sinks" in), and these obviously require a black bezel.


I don't want the DVD rom at all. In fact, if I get a rebate for not wanting another useless piece of junk, I'd take it.



And are you sure it's green letters? Looks like a mild case of overexposure + flash in that pic.

Yes, I examined it closely at lappy shop last saturday. It's dark green not black. My gf owns the black color edition looks nicer but fingerprints here and there.

how about price? same as the original?

No official price announced yet until the release date.

Launches June 10 according to CNet.


And as usual probs US first thingy.

finally Congo is here...

imo Yukon is juz to test water only... at least it blew the netbooks away with it's performance and Intel lowered the price of it's C2D SU and C2S SU immediately to make a CULV platform...

in the end it's us consumers who benefit...

if price right Congo is probably another bombshell to Intel... i mean, try play L4D on Acer Aspire Timeline...

so c2d su can play L4d? will lagging?

sure can play... problem is how smooth only...

problem with CULV is graphic...

the dv2-1030us which is exactly same as the 1003AX but with 4Gig ram is released, and selling at about same price.

darn, US always get the good deal!

Added on June 5, 2009, 8:13 pmhow did you flashed the bios? i did tried to update all drivers from HP webstie for this DV2, after that, going into window vista is like cutting down 50% of the time.,

where to get the software to flash the bios?

i found that this dv2 is eating too much batteries. i bought this over other netbook is because it is offering 6 dell( dell only offer 3 cell). but then, its giving me about 3 hrs only. any tips to increase battery life?( otehr than flash bios? and lower screen light and so on?)
