New HP Netbooks and Notebooks Leaked
Details on upcoming HP notebooks have been leaked by Dutch sites. The new models include the 11.6-inch DM1, 13.3-inch DM3, and the 18.4-inch DV8. The DM1 will be based on Intel’s Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) platform, utilizing ULV Pentium Dual-Core and Core 2 processors, while the DM3 will replace the current dv2 and use an AMD Neo MV-40 single-core processor. The dv8 will use Intel Core i7 processors. All will ship with Windows 7. Prices indicate the dv8 will be around 1400 Euros (more like $1,400 in the U.S., since notebooks are traditionally more expensive in Europe) and the DM1 will be 480 Euros (probably $480 in the U.S.).

One of our forum members has discovered that Lenovo’s website has leaked an unannounced IdeaPad model, the U450p.
