HP just released the new dv3500t Pavilion, finally adding 13.3” notebook to their current consumer lineup. This notebook has a starting configuration price of $999, offering base features of an Intel T5800 2.0GHz processor, a WXGA display, 2GB of memory, an NVIDIA 9300M graphics card with 512MB of video RAM, and a 160GB hard drive. For an added $725 you can upgrade the system to 8GB of DDR2 or for an additional $100 equip the notebook with an LED backlit display. One really nice upgrade that HP offers for this notebook for only $25 is a backlit keyboard option, which I really hope they offer on larger models.
