    HP ProBook 5310m Crams Big Boy Processor in Netbook Body

    Look familiar? The HP ProBook looks like their really nice Mini 5101 netbook, but it's actually packing a full-blown Core 2 Duo, which HP says makes it the "world's thinnest full performance notebook."

    Unfortunately, that extra inch it's packed on to be 13 inches with a full keyboard means it's also priced like a real notebook now, starting at $699 with a Celeron chip, or $899 with the Core 2 Duo. But man, it's a damn fine piece of hardware (on the outside anyway). Below is the full spec sheet.

    On the slightly lower end of things, HP's dm3 swings both ways—AMD and Intel—with each chip titan's take on low voltage processors. What's common is that both versions start at $550 (Update: AMD is $550, Intel $650), they're just over an inch thick and come with 4GB RAM and Windows 7 64-bit.
