11.6” CULV HP Pavilion DM1 Officially Announced in Japan

Last time we heard about the 11.6” CULV powered HP Pavilion DM1 notebook, HP had revealed pretty much all we needed to know in leaked catalog pictures, except what processor would be in it and the mystery discrete graphics option. It turns out the DM1 is basically a HP Mini 311 with integrated Intel GMA graphics, instead of ION and a more powerful processor. It’s still not officially announced in the US yet.

Now, it has officially popped up in Japan (along with the 13.3” DM3). The discrete graphics option hasn’t been revealed (if there even is one) but the processor turns out to be an Intel Celeron SU2300 (1.2GHz) dual-core processor.

Here are the specs for the Japanese version:

• 11.6” 1366 x 768 glossy display
• 802.11b/g Wi-Fi
• 250GB HDD (SATA 2.5” 5400 RPM)
• 2GB - 5GB RAM (max)
• 2 RAM slots (1 user upgradeable)
• Webcam (resolution not mentioned)
• Intel GS45 Express chipset / GMA 4500MHD Graphics
