RE: would you be so kind as to re-post their announcement? Reginald, They released it on Monday. infoworld.com "...HP also introduced on Monday two new notebook PCs aimed at noncorporate users: the HP Pavilion n5430 and HP Pavilion n5470. Both laptops run on processors from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a break from tradition. All of the other PCs in HP's Pavilion series of consumer-targeted laptops use processors from Intel. HP is not planning to abandon Intel, according to Bob Nitzerg, HP's North American marketing manager for its Pavilion notebooks line. He said HP has used AMD in the past but stopped when AMD had a lull in its competitive chip offerings. Now that AMD has released mobile versions of its Athlon and Duron processors, HP will offer an assortment of notebook configurations, using both AMD and Intel chips, Nitzerg said. The n5470 notebook, expected to retail for $2,199, runs on AMD's 1GHz Athlon 4 processor and comes with 256MB of RAM and a 15-inch TFT (thin-film transistor) active matrix screen. It is currently HP's only notebook PC with a 1GHz processor, although Nitzerg said HP will have a comparable laptop using an Intel chip out within a few months. The n5430, priced at $1,499, uses an 850MHz AMD Duron processor and has 128MB of RAM and a 14.1-inch TFT display screen. HP is offering $100 mail-in rebates on both the n5470 and n5430. The newly announced accessories HP is introducing for the n5000 series include a pair of wireless-enabling technologies: a 3Com Bluetooth PC card and an integrated mini-PCI (peripheral component interconnect) modem/LAN. For desktop users, HP's new offerings include a 17-inch LCD pivot display monitor and an ergonomic cordless keyboard and mouse kit" Here is AMD's PR AMD's Mobile AMD Athlon 4 Processor Powers HP's Latest Retail Notebook PCs siliconinvestor.com
