Well, they think the consumer does. I'm all for desktop replacements, but I still want something that won't kill me while I lug it around for a day.
The company designed the new Pavilion to tackle this trend, Boaman said. The ze5100 offers a faster processor and a lower price than previous high-end HP notebooks. The machine will start at $1,699 with the 2GHz desktop Pentium 4, a 15-inch screen, and a combination CD-rewritable/DVD drive. The 2.2GHz version is expected to cost at least 100 dollars more.
