HP Pavilion Dv6z Quad laptop sports AMD Llano, beats Intel on price

AMD’s Llano processor might not satisfy everyone’s power-lust when housed in a desktop , but stick one of these all-in-one beauties in a laptop and you’re good to go. The new HP Pavilion dv6z Quad notebook is a case in point, having just arrived at HP’s online store with a host of Llano benefits in tow. The base model boasts a battery life of nearly six hours, 512MB-worth of “discrete-class” integrated Radeon graphics and a 1.4GHz quad-core processor that can be clocked up to 2.3GHz using AMD’s Turbo technology. Oh yeah, and there’s the real benefit of switching to AMD: the aforementioned spec costs just $650, versus a minimum of $999 for the Intel-equipped dv6t. Admittedly, you’re not going to get that raw i7-style speed, but the entertainment credentials are all there: 6GB DDR3 memory, 640GB 5400rpm HDD, 1366 x 768 glossy LED display, HDMI 1.4 and a pair of USB 3.0 ports in addition to two of the USB 2.0 variety. We ought to clarify that the sexy steel gray version on the left will cost you $25 extra, but hey, who wants to be “umber gray?” HP Pavilion Dv6z Quad laptop sports AMD Llano, beats Intel on price originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 04 Jul 2011 19:37:00 EDT.
