Some says this is netbook, and some other says this is notebook due to it’s size and what power it from Inside. I would rather call it notebook though because of it’s 12 inch display. Anything larger than 12 inch is notebook I reckon.
Pavilion DV2 is powered by Athlon X2 Neo, equivalent to Intel Core 2 Sole if I’m not mistaken. The power might be slightly more, but weak on multitasking. It is slightly warmer too when it run continuously for a long time. I still wonder why AMD still not overcome this issue though.
But I admire it not because of it’s powers nor the fact that it is the best laptop on CES 2009. But the design, glossy covers, thin factor and weight that really please me off. This is going to replace Mini 10 , which I deemed to slow for my average task.
