The HP’s revamped Pavilion HDX is available right now at HP’s website. New HDX has some updated parts, but exactly the same name as the 2007 version of the HDX, itself released just this past July.
However, on the inside you’ll find updated Intel Core 2 Duo processors and Nvidia’s GeForce 8800M video card, along with HD DVD or Blu-ray optical drives (no combo drives yet). A previous update added a 1,920×1,200 display, which is an improvement over the original’s 1,680×1,050 screen, and the four Altec Lansing speakers plus subwoofer remain the same
It features a large widescreen display that could be well-suited as a desktop replacement rather than a traveling companion. HP’s “recommended configuration” is going to cost you $3,645.97.

The keyboard and touchpad are tactile type and illumination, staying extinguished when the equipment is closed and the monitor, that at first sight seems to be a thin glass layer, are in fact are holograms on a transparent crystal. There is no other reference of these new portables, like type of processors, life of the batteries, but apparently this technology is not as far as we thought.
