hp pavilion dv2z HP expanded their thin and light notebook lineup yesterday with the introduction of the new dv2z series. The dv2z has a starting price of $599, measures less than an inch thick, weighs around 3.81 pounds, and features a 12.1 inch diagonal mercury-free LED widescreen display.

The $599 base configuration comes with the following specs:

  • Espresso black color
  • Windows Vista Home Basic
  • AMD Athlon Neo processor MV-40 clocked at 1.6GHz
  • 1GB RAM
  • 250GB 5400RPM SATA HDD
  • ATI Radeon X1250 graphics
  • 12.1 inch WXGA display (1280 x 800)
  • Webcam
  • Wi-Fi card
  • 6 cell lithium ion battery

You can also opt for more powerful processor options including a new AMD Athlon Neo X2 Dual Core Processor (Model L335) clocked at 1.6GHz for $25 dollars more or the AMD Turion Neo X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor Model L625 clocked at 1.6GHz for an additional $75 dollars. (Note – if you do opt for the Turion Neo X2, HP requires that you update to Windows Vista Home Premium (which adds $30 dollars to the price) and to an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3410 (which adds $50 dollars to the price) – bringing the overall price to $754.99. Still not bad but something to remember if you want the more powerful Turion processor.
