This thing just popped up on the radar yesterday, and I really liked the look of it. I saw it at the HP booth at Unveiled, and thought I’d take a quick video. They do a really good job of keeping the lighting nice and dim in the ballroom, so it should be blurry and orangey the way we all like it. Couple extra pictures, too, but slightly more white-balanced.
The Dv2 is pretty much as I described it earlier. It’s light, but more importantly it has a thin and not-too-wide footprint. Very easy to slip into a small bag. It didn’t seem to be working overtime to run Vista because it was cool to the touch. The trackpad (which I call the keyboard in the video) is chromed and looks really slick.
I’m looking forward to feeling up a review unit of this sucker, and you guys should be looking forward to checking one out to buy come March or April.
The white plastic makes this look very cheap… they need to use better materials.

Th white gives to the dv 2 a cheap look?
Sure if it was an apple that white wont look so cheap because it was an apple… right…
No, people are crazy for the “Vista glossy black” so much these days, any other color is regarded as “cheap”. You know what they say now, black is the new— No, wait, it’s always been black after beige. They’ve been using black computer chassis for ages. Only these days they’ve glossed it up (taking their fashion cue from Apple’s iMac), and everything’s turned better again.
So which one looks cheaper? The black in everything everywhere? Or the occasionally spotted white? I wish this thing could be in silver or chrome like in the prototype, and without those pretentious frilly lines or circles. Whatever it is, they need to give the set a way to overclock or downclock the GPU as it gets too hot for comfort.
