Hewlett-Packard has quietly launched two new laptop computers based on AMD's latest Puma platform. The 14.1" 6535b and 15.4" 6735b are good buy for business professionals who'll benefit from its faster processor and 8gig DDR2 RAM. Both of them can be customized with a variety of AMD Turion X2 Ultra dual core processors including ZM-82 (2.2GHz), ZM-80 (2.1GHz), RM-70 (2.0GHz), and QL-60 (1.9GHz). As for other specs, you get a 160GB hard drive, optional 250GB secondary removable HDD, support for up to 8GB RAM, dual layer DVD burner, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, 4x usb ports, media card reader, Bluetooth, wireless, and Vista.

The 6535b comes with a 14.1-inch diagonal WXGA anti-glare / WXGA BrightView / WXGA+ anti-glare display, while the 6735b comes with 15.4-inch widescreen display (WXGA anti-glare, WXGA BrightView, or WSXGA+ WVA, anti-glare).

On the down side, both of them offers only VGA webcam. Seriously, its VGA. When Dell can offer 2.0 mega pixel webcam with all its laptops no matter how cheap or expensive they are, even HP can adopt such policy. I think its time they do something about this as VGA cams sucks.

Both of them are now available with a starting price of $779.
