Today, HP announced the L2000 notebook, and it’s a little different than the company’s usual suspects. This one is racing bike black, with the phrase LiveStrong emblazoned in yellow on the front, and Lance Armstrong’s signature etched inside on the right palm rest. HP joins AMD and the Lance Armstrong Foundation to promote LiveStrong, with the hope that consumers will join in the fight against cancer.
The L2000 is a well-rounded, well-equipped laptop. Weighing just 5.3 pounds with a 14-inch wide-screen, this special edition HP system could be ideal for the back-to-school bunch. It comes with the AMD Turion 64 mobile processor, which has in the past garnered very good performance results. The system is outfitted with three USB ports, a FireWire port, a 6-in-1 digital media reader, up to a 80GB hard drive, and 802.11g wireless. Optionally, you can configure your system with a DVD+-RW dual format, dual-layer optical drive and LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology.
In line with the Armstrong theme, you also get yellow stereo ear buds to listen to the embedded Altec Lansing speakers, and of course, the yellow LiveStrong wristband. Aside from the fact that you’re getting a great notebook, you get the satisfaction of knowing that you’re helping a good cause: $50 of the laptop’s selling price goes to the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer research.
The LiveStrong laptop’s starting price is $999, after rebate. It will be available from hpshopping.com on June 22 and from retailers nationwide in mid July.
