First gadget post: HP Pavilion Dv2

This is the first post in the new Gadget category here on Shufflegazine.com. Expect to see any kinds of gadget/tech items appear here, mostly quick reviews of things in the Middle East market, from now on. We’re working on a slight redesign of the site that will hopefully accommodate this change so bear with us as we get that sorted out. This will not affect the magazine, that is still all dedicated to Apple.

It’s been very interesting trying some of the latest notebooks to hit the UAE, including the Dell Adamo, Acer’s Timeline, and now also HP’s Pavilion dv2. It’s a 12.1-inch notebook with a glossy, shiny black exterior (you can get it in white as well). It’s small, thin, and light enough to go with you almost anywhere. HP took out the optical drive and made it external and they’re nice enough to include it in the box. The AMD processor gives enough power for average tasks on the go and Vista runs, if not as snappy as you might want it to, with perfectly acceptable performance. Price starts at AED2599.
