HP ProBook 5310m packs CULV chip – shipping in Europe

This HP new netbook may give you a glimpse of business netbook, but it comes with a CULV chip that is becoming more and more common in the netbooks and ultra-portables these days. However, that has not stopped HP in using those processors in this sleek netbook with aluminium chassis touting a pretty chicklet keyboard.

There are several variants for 5310m. You can go for Celeron SU2300 dual-core or Core 2 Duo SP9300 CULV processor. The RAM capacity ranges from 1GB of memory (SU2300) and 160GB of storage to 4GB of memory (SP9300) and 320GB of storage. The SP9300 model has many other goodies including 3G connectivity. The entry level version comes with FreeDOS and is listed over €500, while for around €1000, you get high end model that comes with SP9300 processor.

Where most CULV notebooks carry a glare/glossy screen, the ProBook 5310m is surely an exception on that list. Several SKUs of HP’s 13-inch ProBook 5310m have already started shipping in Europe.

Lenovo launched their first (bargain) nettop last month, the 20” Lenovo IdeaCentre C300. It comes in 3 variants:

• One has a single core Intel N230 processor

Hard drive storage capacities range from 160GB – 640GB. RAM ranges from 1GB – 4GB. You can get with Windows XP or Vista Basic installed. As we mentioned earlier, do not expect this to replace your powerful desktop. However, if you plan to do basic stuff like web-browsing, showing your pictures to your guests and other light weight work, then this might be the best thing your money can buy.
