Plaintiff Michael Kent and owners whose systems use an Intel Core i7 processor along with Pegatron's "Truckee" mainboard, including the e9150t, e9180f, e9180t, m9600t and m9650f, have reported in HP's forums and elsewhere that the systems regularly seize up after about 30 minutes of use. In some case... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/17/hp.accused.of.neglecting.freezing.issue/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/13/hp.pavilion.dv8.comes.with.dv6.dv7.updates/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/hppaviliondv8.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP this afternoon held a rare UK-first debut for one of its notebooks. The Pavilion dv8 is now HP's largest non-HDX notebook and carries an 18.4-inch, 1080p display that lets it replace a desktop. A 1.6GHz Core i7 and a dedicated GeForce GT 230M also put the dv8's performance closer to that goal.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/13/hp.pavilion.dv8.comes.with.dv6.dv7.updates/ Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/05/sony.vaio.x.may.be.ready.in.november/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/sonyvaiox-teaser.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony's VAIO X ultralight could be ready next month and have a second notebook follow along if a rumor tonight proves true. The 1.5-pound notebook would ship in November, according to CrunchGear, and would be a direct replacement for the VAIO TT. A strategy of the sort implies it will use a low-voltage Core 2 Duo, which would support Sony's claims of extra-long battery life.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/05/sony.vaio.x.may.be.ready.in.november/ Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/28/hp.pavilion.dv8.details.confirmed/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/hpdv7-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP inadvertently confirmed its own notebook plans this morning by posting specs of its own in a technical brief. The Pavilion dv8 (not yet pictured) will be its first 18.4-inch notebook and its second system after the Envy 15 to use a mobile Core i7 processor. While it's unclear if there will be multiple stock configurations, the one model on show has the base 1.6GHz Core i7, which can clock up ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/28/hp.pavilion.dv8.details.confirmed/ Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/hp.probook.5310m.and.pavilion.dm3/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/hpprobook5310m.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />As part of a shift to ultra-thin notebooks, HP tonight launched two crossover 13.3-inch notebooks that it hopes are both fast and portable. The ProBook 5310m is unofficially the most portable full-performance notebook ever with an 0.93-inch thick body (versus Apple's 0.94 inches) and a 3.8-pound weight; it accomplishes the feat through an aluminum shell without an optical drive and, unusually, by... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/hp.probook.5310m.and.pavilion.dm3/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/hp.pavilion.ms200.with.windows.7/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/hpms200.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP's launches today have included the company's first Pavilion All-in-One PC, the MS200. The system borrows the same core design principle as the iMac and balances the entire computer on an angled stand; compared to Apple's full speed computer, though, the MS200 is consciously treated as a step above nettops and is meant as a dorm room or kitchen PC. The new offering is based on a 1.5GHz Athlon ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/hp.pavilion.ms200.with.windows.7/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/29/hp.11.6.inch.netbook.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/hpmini5101.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP's netbook line should get a larger 11.6-inch model if a source today proves true. Computer industry contacts for DigiTimes say Quanta is about to mass-produce such a system next month. Other details aren't published, but the larger size likely means a 1366x768 screen resolution instead of the more common 1024x600. One of HP's 10-inch netbooks should also get a revision and is purportedly sla... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/29/hp.11.6.inch.netbook.rumor/ Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/28/greenpeace.anti.hp.protest/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/probooksml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Greenpeace through its Twitter feed said Tuesday that it has launched a campaign against HP today to criticize the company for its environmental policy. The activist group claims to have painted the roof of HP's Palo Alto headquarters with the words "hazardous products" and to be calling HP staffers with automated messages from William Shatner asking why the company hasn't lived up to its promise... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/28/greenpeace.anti.hp.protest/ Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/08/6th.laptop.hunters.ad/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/microsoftlaptophunters6.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Microsoft has returned to its ad campaign with the first ad in its "Laptop Hunters" campaign in weeks. The TV spot sees couple Matt and Olivia tasked with finding a system at Best Buy with a large screen, long battery life and good support for pictures at $700. They dismiss a 13-inch plastic MacBook as "too small" and too expensive at $1,000, eventually settling on an HP Pavilion dv7 exactly mat... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/08/6th.laptop.hunters.ad/ Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/10/hp.dv2z.and.mini.110.ready/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/hpdv2z-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP today acted on two of its planned system updates by launching them through its online store, including an unannounced processor. The new dv2z costs slightly more than promised at $625 but now has a white color trim option and starts with a single-core 1.6GHz Athlon Neo, 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive with Radeon X1250 integrated video. Adding a dual-core 1.6GHz processor costs $25; in a su... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/10/hp.dv2z.and.mini.110.ready/ Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:05:00 GMT
