HP releases Pavilion dv3500t, its first 13.3-inch laptop
Filed under: Laptops
We’re all about milestones here at Engadget, so today we’d like to congratulate HP on releasing its first 13.3-inch laptop, the Pavilion dv3500t. Yes, it’s been a struggle for the company, missing just high and low of this (apparent?) sweet-spot, which strikes a good blend between power and portability with Core 2 Duo processors ranging from 2.0 to 2.53 GHz, RAM up to 8GB, and up to 400GB worth of disk space if you want it, backed up by an an 8X, dual-layer, Super Multi DVD writer. Gigabit Ethernet is on the back, while ports for USB (3), HDMI, and a 5-in-1 card reader occupy the sides, all in a package that weighs in at just over 4 pounds. That new screen delivers a respectable 1280 x 800 resolution and, if you’re willing to cough up $100 extra over the $999.99 starting price, you can opt for an LED backlight. If only you could opt out of that garish “Intersect Imprint” exterior.
