HP unveiled six new notebook PCs at a press conference yesterday. This includes the new HP Pavilion dv4, dv5, dv7 Entertainment Notebook PCs and under the Compaq branding, the Presario CQ20, CQ40 and CQ45.

The new Pavilions follow a simple method of differentiating themselves with their screen size. Hence dv4 comes with a 14.4" display, while dv5 has a 15.4" display and dv7 sports a 17" display.

Touting elegance and mobility, the dv4 comes equipped with the latest offering from Intel, Centrino 2 up to 2.8GHz, Nvidia GeForce 9000 graphics that provides 1280x800 resolution on the optional HD BrightView WXGA screen, integrated TV tuner and optional wireless broadband. The dv4 starts at a retail price of RM3,999 and is available now.

The midrange dv5 also boost Intel Centrino 2 technology up to 2.8GHz, discreet Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics that outputs a stunning 1680x1050 resolution and blu-ray optical drive. Expect prices from RM5,999 for this baby. Available now.

The ultimate in performance and HD entertainment, the dv7 while might be similar in specifications to the dv5, has the addition of a remote control, full sized keyboard including the numeric pad and HP Triple Bass Reflex Subwoofer. This range topper starts at a whopping RM6,999 and will be available later this month.

Standard on all Pavilions are built-in biometric scanner, HDMI port, tv tuner, illuminated HP logo on the cover and metallised finishing for the keyboard and palm rest area.

The Compaq Presario CQ20 is a HP Designed in Asia for Asia (DIAFA) product. This means its only available in the Asian market. The 12.1" diagonal notebook has built-in wireless capability utilizing the latest Intel Centrino 2 technology but only weighs in at 1.68kg. 

The CQ20 retails from RM2,709 while the CQ45 and CQ40 are priced at RM2,809 and RM2,509 respectively. All Presario models are available now.

Comment: Hi i just bought my new HP DV4-1038TX last Nov. 15, 2008, i'm not satisfied with the graphix, i don't know if i need to set up something to make my graphix ok. also a little bit slow eventhough my RAM is already 4gb DDR2. Can anyone give some advice whats the proper set up of my graphix for me to satisfy? also the slow problem i'm encountering now? Also for RAM memory, actually the original RAM memory of my laptop is 2GB DDR2 ( 1 DIMM ) whats dimm stands for? is this different from a regular DDR2 memory comercially? Do have DV4-1038TX blu ray also?

Name: rocx	Comment: Are CQ40 series all available? I looked at a HP web site:http://h50198.www5.hp.com/Store/storeModel.asp?familyid=1770&gna=Compaq+Presario+notebook+PC There is also for C2D notebooks. Where are they? Are they available as they are not promoted through the brochure from notebooks advertisers such as from czone, cycom, startec or sri computers...? i wonder why..

Comment: The price isn't really right...? I got a CQ40 just for 2k+ with RAM upgraded to it's max of 4gb. and got free carrying case, free mouse, free this and that... or am I mistaken? because the some spec here I see is different from what I got, the video card I got was not ATI, it was Nvidia instead.(could be some similiar model? lol) btw, the new products isn't updated in the compaq malaysia site yet... booo... selling it without updating it, lame... I got my laptop from lowyat like 1month ago already, and they are yet to update their site.

Comment: The notebooks are gorgeous, the capabilities are drool-inducing, the hardware is eyebrow raising! But just tell me: Who is the marketing id**t at HP who decided to force Blu-Ray drives onto all their Pavillion models? If you downgrade to the alternative Dual Layer DVD burner on the US online store, you whack US$250 off the price. That's F**kin almost a RM 1K for an overpriced feature that is almost useless for a region which has less than 25% Blu-ray DVDs in the market.

Comment: was lucky enough to pick up the dv4t couple of weeks back, it's a beauty but pulls finger prints all over like a CSI crime scene =P Runs nice and smooth with all the connectivity options but a heads up that the HDD runs warm and sometimes quite hot esp under load. A cooler might be needed for this or elevation of the laptop on the bottom left to enable air-flow. The temperatures of the rest of the components are fine tho (cpu and gpu included) with good thermal management there. other than the need for frequent wiping (thankfully they included a cleaning cloth as well) and the HDD temperatures (as long as you give that area air flow and in Air-con environments shud be fine) I love this laptop!
