HP Offers AMD Processors and Award-winning Support on New Lineup of Consumer Notebooks

Select HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario consumer notebook PCs will, for the first time, include the option of AMD Turion™ 64 mobile technology.( 1 ) AMD's latest mobile processor technology delivers 32-bit performance today and can run tomorrow's 64-bit applications, in addition to offering enhanced virus protection.( 2 )

As with the company's consumer desktop PCs, HP consumer notebooks come with a full year of support, significantly longer than some competitors' 90-day offerings.

Offering more complete customer support is one way HP provides consumers with the best customer experience possible. In fact, the Customer Respect Group, an international research and consulting firm, recently awarded HP top honors in a study of how well high-tech companies treat their customers online.( 3 ) HP was the only company to earn an "Excellent" rating in both privacy and email responsiveness. The study showed HP's one-hour email response time was particularly impressive considering the significant challenges noted for much of the high-tech industry.

HP updated its consumer notebooks in the categories of: thin and light, value, entertainment and desktop replacement. Specific series include:

The award-winning HP Pavilion dv1000 Entertainment Notebook PC
HP Pavilion ze2000 Series Notebook PC - available with AMD Turion 64 mobile technology
