HP is the first, and thus far only vendor to offer an AMD Neo-based notebook, the DV2. Well, although it's still the only Neo around, the DV2 just got a bit better, with the addition of two dual-core CPUs.

Along with the Athlon Neo MV-40, The Pavilion DV2 will now be available with the Athlon Neo X2 L335 for $25 extra, or the Turion Neo X2 L625 for $75 extra. Both CPUs run at 1.6GHz, however, the Turion has twice as much L2 cache.

In case the integrated Radeon X1250 doesn't cut it for you, you can get a discrete HD 3410 with 512MB of memory and Vista Home Premium for $80. The list of options ends with a paint job. HP will charge you $25 if you want a white DV2.

Although we're seeing a number of Intel CULV models hit the shelves, it must be noted that the DV2 does offer pretty good value for money, as you basically get a dual-core for the price of a single core CULV.

i am still waiting to check the spec and price in msia here..

Considering this or the Asus N10JC.
The Asus runs on Atom N270 (1.6Ghz) with a GeForce 9300M G 256mb.
Which graphic card is better? The 9300gs or the HD3410

I think b4 31 july, may be 1-2 weeks b4 can see they promote it ^^
haiz ... trouble for me ~

other brand ah? but other brand seldom got amd.. mostly found in HP..
but if dv2 can make it size smaller even better lo..cos now the size is almost same like 13" one..

ya ....
so far i dont know bad news o HP AMD ~
ppl not recommand buy compaq AMD !!

why not recommend? issit heat issue? then hp pavillion issit ok?

should be fine, they might improve the heat issue on the new Congo units. ( hopefully)

MSI is going to put Congo in its 15 inch X-Slim IIRC.

As for the dv2, it might be a design problem instead? For the rest of us, undervolt as usual LAWL.

wow 15 inch? dont u think its too big? if getting a 15 inch notebook, why dun pick a faster processor with a better gpu? and why should i get a 15inch notbeook with congo only??

Because it's you know... slim?

*If* battery life is solved (4+hr) it will automatically retire every ultraportable notebook on the market currently. Yes, those RM7000 Fujitsus and Toshibas.

hehe..even 14 inch timesline is already consider big to me...no matter how slim it is, the size still is 15 inch..if i wan to get a ultraportable notebook, i will choose 13inch timesline or 12inch dv2..other than that, i will not consider it as ultraportable already.. unless the price is really cheap and cheaper than dv2..then another story..

wow intel is launching the celeron culv chip. Instead of using c2d culv(timeline) maybe upcoming dv2 with celeron culv n keep the price even lower than amd+ati? lets wait and see....

if intel+nvidia better....
