HP Pavilion dv3t 13.3-inch notebook

[Regina]

HP’s unveiled the Pavilion dv3t, a 13″ notebook that starts at $799 before any discounts or incentives. The dv3t is built for mainstream consumers and can be customized to fit the needs of most students and home users. It can be configured with NVIDIA graphics, up to 8GB of RAM and a Blu-ray Disc drive.

The dv3t weighs in at just under five pounds and measures 1.25″ thick. It’s not the thinnest or lightest 13″ notebook HP sells, but users get a lot for their money.

The Pavilion dv3t is one of three 13″ notebooks that HP currently offers. The 13″ dv3z runs on AMD processors and has a magnesium lid, which makes it much thinner. The dv3500t 13″ comes in a bronze finish and is sold exclusively through Best Buy.
