NOW AVAILABLE (WITH VIDEOS): Pavilion m6 Notebooks

[justinkw1]

I'm surprised no one found this yet, but HP will be introducing a brand new thin and light notebook series called the Pavilion m6.

The only brand-new addition to the Pavilion line, the new m6 is what we'd call a fauxtrabook: close to a thin ultrabook, but either not quite there, or lacking Intel's trademarked ultrabook sticker for other reasons.

It's a slim 15.6-inch laptop with Beats Audio and a subwoofer, and available with both Intel and AMD processors. The body is part aluminum, and both backlit keyboards and discrete graphics are available as options.

The look is closer to the new HP Envy laptops than the other Pavilions, with an island-style touch pad floating on the wrist rest. Side by side with the Pavilion dv6, it's a much nicer-looking system, and it's priced much closer to the Envy laptops (so much so that there's bound to be some overlap).

The Pavilion m6, while subject to change, is expected to be available through retailers such as Best Buy, starting in June, for $699 and up.

so im assuming this is the middle ground b/w dv6 and envy 15? it says that its part aluminium... how much is part? and anything about the gfx inthis?

S#8%! This looks like what I wish I would've gotten... I wonder what upgrades will be available for this. I guess I have 21 days to try out my dv6 and decide if I want to go through the hassle of returning for the m6. If comparable upgrades to dv6 are available I'm sold! Anyone know when a preorder will be available for this?

The m6 is a lighter version of the dv6. More like a 15.6" max-ultrabook, it is less powerful than the dv6-7000 in terms of both performance and features.

Dedicated graphics options will exist, but it doesn't look like they will be as powerful as those in the dv6.

The m6 is expected to be available in June, to time it with the launch of the dual-core Ivy Bridge processors. Also, it looks like the m6 will not be initially customizable from the HP website. It will be available in pre-configured models, and sold through retailers.
