If you’ve been itching to buy an HP Envy 13 or 15 but the $1200+ price tag scared the hell out of you, consider this latest addition to HP’s budget PC line. It’s dubbed the G62t and packs Core i3 with the options for i5 and i7 upgrades. Standard features include 160GB hard drive, 3GB of DDR3 RAM, 15.6-inch widescreen LED display that carries 1366×768 pixels, DVD burner, 3x USB 2.0 ports, multi card reader, audio in/out ports, and the options to add Blu-ray and half a terebyte of disc space. In case you’re wondering, HDMI doesn’t come standard (but it is an option).
However, we can’t complain too much with a starting price of only $600.

HP TouchSmart tm2
HP made ripples with the tx2 but even though it was the first consumer multitouch convertable tablet PC, it still had some lacking. However HP has spruced things up a bit with the tm2 which packs a 12.1-inch screen and is powered by a Core 2 Duo processor as well as ATI Mobility Radeon graphics and a claim of 9 hours of battery life from its standard 6-cell battery.
The touchscreen is capacitive making it pen and finger friendly. You might notice that HP called on design cues from it’s Envy line including the touchpad which is a single button as well as a full aluminum build. The tm2 is lighter and stronger and will ship January 17th for mere $949 (starting price).
Thanks to touch friendly Corel Painter, BumpTop 3D as well as a dolphin screen saver as well as Netflix inclusive TouchSmart software, HP is really bring things up to par in the touch arena. Check out the videos below courtesy of Engadget.

Just in time for CES 2010, HP has sent out an update to its line of business notebooks. Bringing the updates to six professional models, the new options include Intel’s new Core i7 processor for all, as well as plenty of other high cost, high-end accouterments. The ProBook models include the 6440b (14-inch), 6540b (15.6-inch) and carry a starting price of $949. The aluminum EliteBook 8440w and 8540w start at $1299 and $1499 respectively.
Rounding up the bunch is the platinum aluminum 8440p and 8540p which start at $1,099 and $1,249. The differences between all models is barely noticeable to the untrained eye but such things as spill-resistance drains on the EliteBook models and 24 hour battery life on the 8440p / 8540p are just some of the things that sets the notebooks apart.
All models are set to go on sale in February and we’re hearing that USB 3.0 will be offered on some of the EliteBook lineups.
