The HP Pavilion Quad Edition dv6t comes with either of the two latest Intel Core i7 processors. First is the Intel Core i7 720QM that clocks at 1.6 GHz and can be Turbo Boost-ed to 2.8 GHz. Next is the faster Intel Core i7 820Qm that runs at 1.73 GHz and can be Turbo Boost-ed to 3.06 GHz.

Usually, the laptop component that’s first to buckle down is usually the hard drive. Why? That is because, generally laptops do not have enough space to store large amount of files. But with the HP Pavilion Quad Edition dv6t, one has the option to bring in up to 640 GB of disk space. Furthermore, files stored in this disk is protected by HP’s proprietary ProtectSmart hard disk protection technology, which automatically shuts down the hard drive when it senses that it is falling down.

HP seeks to blast its way into the netbook market by creating the HP Mini 311 — another mobile PC that aims to exceed expectations from this thinking machine category. The HP Mini 311 really isn’t your average netbook and we’re giving you the reasons why.

But HP bolted out of the usual when it packed the Mini 311 with some features a netbook user would be delighted to have – a graphics chip and a high-resolution display.
