The HP 3115m is an 11.6 inch notebook with an AMD Fusion low power processor, support for up to 8GB of memory and up to 500GB of hard disk space. It has a starting price of $429, and it’s aimed at HP’s business customers.
If the notebook looks familiar, that’s because it’s virtually identical to the new HP Pavilion dm1z consumer laptop the company introduced in September.
The key difference is that HP will offer the 3115m with a choice of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, Professional 32-bit, Home Premium 64-bit, and FreeDOS. Windows 7 Starter also shows up on the spec sheet, but I’m not sure if that’s really going to be an option, since I don’t think Microsoft offers Starter licenses for computers with the HP 3115’s specs.
Right now the only configuration available for purchase from the HP website runs $479. It includes a 1.3 Ghz AMD E-300 processor, Radeon HD 6310M graphics, 4GB of RAM, and 320GB hard drive. It has 802.11a/b/g/n WiFI, a 55Whr battery and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The laptop has a 1366 x 768 pixel LED-backlit display.
Since this is a business laptop though, you can probably order custom configurations by reaching out to your friendly HP sales rep.
Fedora Linux 16 install goofs the wirelss. It sees wireless networks, but when you configure a connection, it connects and then fails when the connection actually is used.
Their specs on the webpage and those in the 3115m datasheet pdf file mismatch. In pdf you also have SSD options listed, as well as mobile broadband. They should really update the page with all the info. https://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmisc/vac/us/product_pdfs/3115m.pdf
