2012 HP Pavilion m6
HP also introduced a brand new model, the Pavilion m6 which is a 15 inch notebook that sits between being a laptop and Ultrabook. The Pavilion m6 will give you a full-sized keyboard with number pad, a choice between Intel and AMD processors with the ability to add a dedicated graphics card just like on a ‘full sized’ laptop yet it’s slim and stylish like an Ultrabook. Beats audio speaker branding and a dedicated subwoofer come standard with the Pavilion m6 while keyboard backlighting is available as an optional extra. Price and availability is to be announced, though HP does give a vague mention of ‘summer availability’ (which puts launch date sometime between July and August).
