"HP has been keeping busy the last few weeks. As I previously mentioned, they had the release of their new Vivienne Tam design netbook/digital clutch at Vivienne Tam&amp;#039;s Bryant Park Fashion Week runway show. Around the same time they also had a press event in which they announced many of their upcoming products. When I found out we had an intern, Patti Chao, searching for a new laptop, I thought it would be both a practical and educational visit for her. Read on to find out what Patti thought of the experience: Three years ago, I bought myself the newest HP laptop for college (I came to New York University from Taipei). It was sleek, pretty, and functional. It was so beautiful that I didn&amp;#039;t even want to take the protective sheet off the cover. But through trips to school, long all-nighters, and sometimes even rainstorms, I think it&amp;#039;s time for my heavy, outdated HP Pavillion 2000 to go in to retirement.   One laptop that caught my eye was the HP Pavilion dm3. Although this notebook is from the same family as my college laptop three years ago, it is definitely a gigantic upgrade. Featuring what I believe to be a stylish aluminum design and lightweight body, it is really ideal for someone who&amp;#039;s always on the go but needs something more robust than a netbook. Did I mention that it is super affordable too? The HP Pavilion dm3 will start at $549.   If you&amp;#039;re looking for something a notch up, you might consider the HP Envy13 and Envy15. These premium notebooks showcase laser-etched designs on the interior and exterior and beautifully sculpted edges. With HP Radiance, the Envy notebooks offer what HP claims to be the brightest display in the industry, allowing for vivid color quality when viewing photos or videos. In an environmentally conscious effort, HP has also decided do ditch the bulky user manual, and opt for a small SD card that holds all of the documents you&amp;#039;ll need (and essentially provide you with a free 2GB memory card!). For the high performance processing power it offers, the notebook is surprisingly lightweight, and starts at an affordable price for notebooks of its kind, at $1,699.   We were also introduced to the HP Mini 110, designed by Tord Boontje, an industrial product designer who has designed for Target .This mini companion looks super chic with the industry&amp;#039;s first 3D surface technology called HP Imprint 3D. It basically means that ink was placed in plastic dimensionally in layers to create a unique design. In certain angles, we were able to spot cute pictures of endangered animals all over the exterior. To go along with the theme of nature and the environment, the packaging for this mini PC has also been specially designed so that you can avoid all the hassle of sorting and just drop everything in the &amp;quot;Paper&amp;quot; bin for recycling.  One small complaint I have is the fact that none of these notebooks have an integrated CD/DVD player. I&amp;#039;ve never bought an external one, but maybe that&amp;#039;s the small price I&amp;#039;ll have to pay to own one of these gorgeous notebooks! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
