HP's introduced the Pavilion dv3500t, the company's first 13.3-inch notebook. HP was nice enough to give me an early preview of the dv3500t about a month ago and I liked what I saw. The Pavilion dv3500t is very similar to its bigger brothers, the dv4 and dv5, but it has a couple of features that I really like.
HP introduced the Mini-note 2133 a few months ago, but has yet to introduce a consumer friendly netbook. James from jkOnTheRun spotted what may be HP's answer to the Dell Inspiron N, Lenovo S10 and the smattering of other netbooks that seem to be hitting the market on a daily basis.
