Adding to that list, VR-Zone reports that an electronics store in Singapore is selling the new Sandy Bridge-powered HP Pavilion dv6. The dv6-4103TX is aesthetically identical to existing systems, except for an updated Intel sticker, but it's internals have been upgraded to the 2GHz (2.9GHz Turbo Boost) Core i7-2630QM processor and AMD Radeon HD 6570M graphics.
Meanwhile, a forum member over at Notebook Review has purchased a new HP dv7 (the dv7-4290us to be exact) from Micro Center and it's also outfitted with an i7-2630QM and Radeon HD 6570M. Other specs include 6GB of DDR3 RAM, a 1TB 5400RPM HDD, a Blu-ray player, a 5-in-1 card reader, a 9-cell 93WHr battery, and a 17.3-inch 1600x900 LED-backlit display.
The owner of the dv7 posted some pictures and preliminary benchmark results. Its 9-cell battery provides just under four hours of life when running Hulu, and 4.5 hours when browsing the web and listening to music. The system also scored 41.07fps/4.81pts in Cinebench 11.5's OpenGL/CPU tests, 10065 3DMarks in 3DMark06, and P1281 3DMarks in 3DMark11.
