Neo

MAKER of expensive printer ink, HP has released a DV2 12-inch laptop which is shipping with an AMD Neo MV-40 CPU.

The kit has appeared on HP's Euro catalogue and is the first time we have heard of any kit with a Neo in it.  

Entry level DV2 1001eg is priced at €599 and has Radeon X1250 integrated graphics, and 160GB of storage and a 4-cell battery.

The top-of-the-range 1090eg costs €799 and the only difference is 500GB of storage and a better battery. µ

Nice spot Nick, some more info

http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hps-12-1-inch-pavilion-dv2-dont-call-it-a-netbook/

"...at 3.8-pounds with a keyboard 8% short of full-sized, this 12.1-inch (1,280 x 800 pixels) ultra-portable features a:
1.6GHz Athlon Neo MV-40 processor,
up to 4GB of memory and 500GB of disk,
optional 802.11n WiFi, and WWAN (Gobi) support.
Now what if we told you that this 64-bit Vista Home Premium laptop (no need for the XP fallback here kids) measures less than an inch thick and can be configured with ATI Mobility Radeon HD3410 discrete graphics and an external Blu-ray player for $899 when it ships in March? More you say? Ok, there's also Bluetooth, HDMI-out, an integrated webcam, and 3.5 to 4-hours of battery with prices set to start at $699."

@Mitchel

So much whinging... Firstly, if the story wasnt posted a lot of people wouldnt know about it...secondly, who cares if its a paid article, or an HP fan posts on it or if Charlie starts giving HP the AMD treatment... better reading it here to cut to the chase and save me 5 minutes of google-age!

Mitchel Works for Google

Mitchel must work for Google - he made a slick plug for Google at the expense of Inquirer's traffic -- how obviously Google-like.

If we wanted to find out more about this laptop, we would go to HP's website, not Google's, fool!! and for Neo, we would go to AMD website. If we just wanted to search on the Internet, we could go to one of many search engines.

Anyway, why the heck would we want to go anywhere else, if we can read all about this at our beloved Inquirer website!!! So thank you "interested_party" :-)

Yawn

i was commenting on the comment above not the article itself.

the article was mentioning hps new laptops having amd neos.

the comment that followed went into full documentary on the laptops themselves which he may as well of copied and pasted of HPs site, put up a HP logo and get paid commission.

i wasn't commenting on the actual inquirer article.

and yeah i work for google and i get paid to put comments on the inquirer to advertise using google... because it needs it...? Dumb idiot.

and who buys of the manufacturer website anyway.....

next comment to say 'i do' best go back to sleep because HP point to resellers anyway....
