HP is hard at work readying two new portable notebooks for release, the EliteBook 2560p and 2760p. The news comes from HP itself and a NotebookItalia report, which reveals some specs for the 12.1-inch notebooks.

They might replace the current 12.1-inch 2540p and 2740p as they are getting long in the tooth at about a year old. The 2760 will be a convertible tablet, and the 2560 a more traditional notebook. Both will feature USB 3.0, DisplayPort and your choice of 1.4GHz Core i5, 1.6GHz Core i7 and 2.7GHz Core i7 chips. They may also have up to 16GB of RAM and a Blu-ray drive. The 2760p offers an LED-backlit 1366×768 display and an optional 1440×900.

Apple’s MacBook Air is still enjoying being the slimmest notebook around, since the Dell Adamo has been axed. Soon it will have some competition though since Acer, Asus and Lenovo are all planning to launch new ultra-thin notebooks in the second quarter of 2011 and they will feature components that are more competitive than Apple’s MacBook Air.

That means that they can sell them at a lower price. Acer will release its new Timeline notebooks, Asus will has its U-series slim models and Lenovo is offering new ultra-thin models of its IdeaPad. The prices on these notebooks should be below $1,000.

HP has announced some new consumer notebooks that are based on HP’s MUSE (materials, usability, sensory appeal and experience) design philosophy. The new notebooks can be personalized with your choice of 17 exclusive wallpapers designed by six artists.

You also have the option of a Blu-ray disc player and up to 1TB of storage on the dv6 and 2TB of storage on the dv7.

Best Buy chief Brian Dunn done a 180 and changed his tune on claims that the iPad cut notebook sales in half at his stores.

In a statement, he says that he did see “shifts in consumption patterns” towards the tablet but characterized it more as an “incremental opportunity” than the market redefining shift it first looked like. He compared his view on the death of notebooks to Mark Twain’s after the legendary false obituary. “The reports of the demise of these devices are grossly exaggerated,”.

MSI has a bunch of notebooks that it sells all around the world. I have used several machines from MSI and they are typically very powerful and have nice price tags. MSI has announced a new notebook that fits right in with its other offerings called the FX600.

The new FX600 is a 15.6-inch LED backlit notebook that features an NVIDIA GeForce GT 325M GPU with 1GB of DDR3 RAM. The machine uses an Intel Core i5-450m CPU and has 4GB of system memory. The machine also has a 500GB HDD.

This is not for those who keep Pandas as pets, not that any of you do that. At least I hope you don’t. Those cute bears will kill you and eat your bamboo notebook. If you want an Asus Bamboo notebook in the US, you can now place a pre-order on Best Buy for a couple of 14″ systems.

They include the U43JC and U43F. The latter will cost $950 and runs an Intel Core i5 2.26GHz with 4GB of RAM and a 640GB hard drive. The U43JC costs $50 more, with NVIDIA’s GeForce 310M graphics chipset with Optimus graphics switching capability to help with battery life.

The flagship Q530 measures just over an inch thick, and packs in a 2.26GHz Intel Core i3, though a Core i5 is optional, and NVIDIA’s 1GB GeForce GT 330M is installed.

The same chipset is available as an option on the smaller Q430, which has a 512MB GeForce 310M as standard. It shares the same Core i3 chip and 4GB of RAM as the Q530, but with a smaller, 320GB hard drive.

Sony has confirmed that about 535,000 of its Vaio laptops are plagued with an overheating issue. According to the company, there have been 39 reports of the machines overheating to the point that the notebook deformed from heat.

Sony claims that no reports of injuries have been made. The issue affects Vaio F and C machines launched back in January. The real confusing part is that there are mixed reports of how the issue is being addressed.

Acer has some cool new notebooks for the US, like the 18.4-inch Aspire 8943G, which features the company’s new Ethos look with a minimal aluminum body, chiclet keyboard, five speakers and a subwoofer.
