HP has introduced 11 new models of consumer and business notebook portfolios, which utilizes AMD’s latest Vision Technology.
HP’s new notebooks are powered by AMD’s A-series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) that combine CPU cores and discrete-graphics onto a single die of silicon.
The HP Pavilion dv-series (Pavilion dv4, dv6 and dv7) are ‘entertainment notebooks’ and are equipped with new features such as HP CoolSense, HP True Vision HD webcam and HP Beats Audio (Pavilion metal dv6 and dv7).
The dv-series also offers more than two times the graphics performance compared with previous-generation integrated graphics, claims HP.
According to the company, the HP Pavilion g-series (Pavilion g4, g6 and g7) balances productivity with efficiency for ideal everyday performance. The addition of AMD technology can enable programs such as Internet Explorer 9(2) to run even faster.
The HP ProBook b-series (HP ProBook 6465b and ProBook 6565b), featuring AMD Vision Pro technology, offers enhanced security and increased performance, while sporting an attractive new tungsten-colored design.
The HP ProBook s-series (ProBook 4535s, 4435s and 4436s) combines a brushed-aluminum finish in a metallic gray color in addition to a touchpad with gesture support and an integrated high-definition (HD)(3) webcam.
For consumers, HP Pavilion dv- and g-series notebooks offer optional dual graphics, balancing performance with power needs by switching between single- and dual-graphics modes.
AMD Image Enhance with AMD Perfect Picture HD(3) also automatically adjusts for dynamic color and contrast, making skin tones appear realistic.
