I just got my brand new notebook, its none other than HP Pavilion dv2799 Special Edition with famous "Verve" imprint finish. Before this, I owned an HP Pavilion dv5191 notebook. This one just kills that notebook in every department. From its sleek & sexy design to the power of Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This one has it all!

The system came with following configuration:

Nice notebook (Y) ! However, I still don't like the fact that current HP notebooks have underpowered graphics card. Even Dell is offering better options than what HP has.

that geforce 8400 will leave you crying when playing games.

There is no problem with the GeForce Go 8400 GS as it is quite a good mid-range card which will allow you to play some games at medium to high settings at 800 x 600. A good example is Half-Life 2 which plays really well on it. The problem with this notebook is that it only has 64MB dedicated GDRAM while borrowing the rest of it from the system RAM using Turbo Cache.

This notebook has 8400 with 128mb dedicated VRAM.

Are you sure? To my knowledge 14.1" notebooks have 64MB of RAM while 15.4" notebooks will have 128MB of RAM. 17" notebooks will have the GS version of the GeForce Go *600. This has been the case with HP since the dv1000, dv5000 and the dv8000.

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
