Hewlett-Packard has refreshed the HP Pavilion dv6t and dv7t consumer laptop series, which now include Intel Core i3 and i5 processor options instead of older Core 2 Duo CPUs.
The 15.6-inch dv6t and 17.3-inch dv7t are configurable with the i3-330M, i3-350M, i5-430M, and i5-520M chips, as well as with the NVIDIA GeForce G 105M 512MB and GeForce GT 320M 1GB dedicated graphics cards. Additionally, the dv6t can be ordered with the integrated GMA HD graphics only.
HP’s dv6t comes with up to 640GB of hard drive space, whereas the dv7t provides up to 1.28TB of storage using two 640GB HDDs. The notebooks now support up to 8GB of DDR3 memory and feature DVD burners or Blu-ray combo drives, optionally built-in HDTV tuners, built-in web cameras, HDMI outputs, and Windows 7 OS.
The Core i3/i5-based Pavilion dv6t and dv7t start at $720 and $800, respectively.
