HP has unveiled its new laptop, and from the looks of it, the dv8 notebook seems all set for the premium badge. The “home entertainment” laptop has a wide 18.4-inch screen with full HD 1,920 x 1,080 display. It comes with a built-in TV tuner and Blu-ray reader/player for staying up on entertainment needs.
Other specs include Intel’s Core i7 processor, 4 GB RAM (expandable to 8 gigs), dual 320GB hard drives, NVIDIA GeForce GT230 graphics with 1GB of RAM. Pavilion dv8 dumps the traditional lithium ion batteries in favor of Boston Power’s Sonata cells. These cells have a longer life than lithium batteries, longevity expected at as much as five times that of lithium ion batteries.
The notebook PC will be available on October 22, with Windows 7 and a price tag of £1,300 ($2,077).
