After two years of sticking with one look, HP has revamped its best-selling "dv" series notebooks with a new design and core components. The HP Pavilion dv2000z ($1,354.99 direct, as tested) is a thin and light laptop that draws its inspiration from the artwork of Japanese Zen rock gardens. It sports a shinier finish and unique patterns that don't overwhelm the entire look. Under the hood, HP continues to back AMD's latest Turion X2 processors, which might save you some money down the road, but which haven't been quite adept at catching up to the speedier Intel Core Duo solutions.
