Even more HP laptops are joining the march to Intel's second-generation Core i-series processors. The Pavilion dv6 and Pavilion dv7 are getting the upgrade, and sticking with AMD Radeon graphics.
The changes here are all under the hood, and we suspect HP's entire line of Core i3/5/i7 laptops will jump to the second-generation CPUs soon. The upgraded HP Pavilion dv6 and dv7 are going to be available in the U.S. from January 9, starting $899.99 and $999.99, respectively.
