Since today really needs a good heap of news to somewhat balance out
yesterday's glut, HP has updated its online store to give it an abundance of new and revised
Windows 7 machines, including the
Envy series (
Beats edition and all), Pavilion
dm3 with AMD Neo or Intel CULV chips,
Core i7-packing dv6t/ dv7t /
dv8t Quad editions, and the not-so-netbook
CQ61. We're still not seeing the
previously-leaked dm1 ultraportable anywhere, but the
Mini 311 and a slightly updated Mini 110 are, with the option to jump from Windows XP to 7 for a cool $50 / $30 respectively. Most everything in the store, desktops and laptops, has been updated to at least include Windows 7 as the standard shipping OS, and while all claim free 2-day shipping, estimated shipping dates begin sometime the week after 7's Oct 22nd launch -- no early chances here, folks. Browse the read links and keep an eye on the shiny red "new" icons (no flashing GIFs, we're afraid) for the entire revised lineup.
Update: As a number of you have pointed, the Envy product page is a bit, well, sloppy. Typos and missing commas notwithstanding, it seems to biggest laugh is the cost of customization, i.e. $800 more to
downgrade from a 500GB HDD to 320GB or 250GB (same price), or $900 more to downgrade from 6GB or 4GB of DDR3 memory. Yeah, it might be best to hold off on that one until HP get the kinks worked out.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
