HP Pavillion dm3 spotted and priced

HP’s Pavillion dm2 was one of the first few ultraportables in the thin and light category but came with an AMD Athlon Neo processor and was priced way higher than most others in the category. HP seems to have corrected that oversight with the HP Pavillion dm3.

Aside from being priced competitively against other CULV-powered notebooks in the 13-inch category, HP continued the same elegant design (imagine a 13-inch and thin HP Mini 311).

dm3
HP Pavillion dm3-1014TU
Intel Pentium Dual Core SU4100 @1.3GHz
2GB DDR2 RAM
320GB SATA HDD
13.3″ display screen @ 1366×768 pixels
Intel GMA 4500MHD
WiFi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.1
External DVD+RW

I’d look at this unit as a direct competitor of the Lenovo U350, Asus UL30, Acer Timeline 3810T, Toshiba Portege 130 and the Neo Edge Z3265.

Comes with a 6-cell battery and Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. Suggested retail price is Php39,990 at Octagon Computers.

    jon, pag sa states talagang mas mura dun. i recommend pabili ka na lang dun. but please take in mind na sa US mo din pwedeng ipawarranty yan. may international warranty ata pero may bayad. pinabili ko po sa states ang dm3 ko sa bestbuy.com. 550 US Dollars po sya dun. May mga ibang websites pa sa states na mas mura kesa sa bestbuy, so you might want your relatives to look around first. Hindi ko lang po alam sa ibang bansa.

    ganda yan sir. yup meron na din dito, it’s a bit more expensive i think at around 55k. may ganyan din po ako nahawakan, ok na yung size pero the heat got to an unbearable point. ganyan din sana kukunin ko pero out of budget, sarap kasi magbasa ng ebooks with that.
