HP’s Core i7 packing Pavilion dv8 and Envy 15
While at IDF we got to see a bunch of sick new laptops coming to the Best Buy’s and Walmart’s near you very, very soon. We’re talking about some insane new stuff, and HP and Intel really pulled out all the stops here—sleek designs, incredible amount of features, and previously unheard of power for laptops. Wanna learn more? Who we kidding, of course you do—and we got a bunch of pix and more info on both of these major bad boys after the break.

Well our finals are finally over, so it’s time for us to get back to “work”. A lot of things happened at CES, and we hope to give you info on the best netbooks, laptops and desktops (aka. regular computers), cell phones, as well as some general cool things we saw happen.
Let’s start with netbooks, and boy were there A LOT of these. HP, Dell, Asus (the guys who really started the netbook frenzy with their Eee PC line), and a bunch of other companies all came out with some new stuff, so read on for some of the best you should look to see in 2009!

If you were thinking about getting the new MacBook for the holidays you might want to hold up on that purchase. Best Buy and HP teamed up to make a 13.3″ inch laptop that could change your mind.
Meet the HP Pavilion dv3510nr:
- Standard with 4 GB of RAM + Expandable to 8 GB– the MacBook comes standard with only 2 GB. That means faster and more efficient; with the 8 GB we’re talking faster-than-Jose-Reyes computer speed
. - 320GB hard drive– for all your music. If you want to get that on your Mac, you’ll have to pay an extra $200.
- Fingerprint reader
- Backlit keyboard
- Webcam– talk to all your friends on Skype.
- Three USB ports
- Just under 5 pounds–a weight you’ll be very grateful for when lugging it from class to class. Although the MacBook is a little lighter, it isn’t significant enough for you to feel the difference.
- 2 Year Warranty– good if you are a litte klutzy : ); the MacBook’s warranty is a measly 1 year.
The best part? The HP Pavilion dv3510nr is available for $1,099 vs. the MacBook’s $1,299, which means more money in your wallet.
So, are you going to go for the expensive MacBook or maybe consider the cheaper HP Pavillion? You can get the HP Pavilion dv3510nr at Best Buy.

Okay folks, here we go. We here at TeenTechBlog got our paws on one of the most powerful gaming computers currently on the market. Just to be clear, this is NOT something the average teenager, or even average adult will have. First that thing is enormous. Not just kinda big, but REALLY huge. It weighs about 90 lbs as well, and cost at least a couple grand. This is not something you see or use everyday. But it is FAST. I mean really fast. It scores about a 5.8 on the Vista speed test, and the best on that is 5. Just to give you an idea. We haven’t had the chance to try out any real games on it, so that will be forthcoming. Also, the thing has built in neon lights, which just make it even cooler. A full review will be coming soon, as soon as we can put this thing through its paces. And it might even run Crysis at 60 FPS. Maybe.
