HP Pavilion dm1-3010nr is Verizon’s first 4G LTE-powered notebook

It’s been awhile since Verizon launched its 4G LTE network, and since then the carrier has been steadily churning out new 4G devices. First it was the USB modems and personal hotspots; then came the handsets (Thunderbolt 4G and Droid Charge 4G) and now it’s time for the notebooks to arrive. After dropping a hint of the laptop at CES 2011 in January, Verizon has finally unveiled its first ever 4G LTE notebook.

Built by HP, the Pavilion dm 1-3010nr Entertainment PC (couldn’t they have picked a catchier name?) is designed to stream HD content, play games, video chat, download music, photos, and videos within seconds rather than minutes thanks to Verizon’s 4G network. The notebook will be a pretty slim device, measuring less than 1.2″ thick, and is said to features notebook performance in a netbook form factor.

Here are a rundown of the dm1-3010nr’s specs: 1.60GHz AMD Dual-Core Processor E-350, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 11.6″ HD HP BrightView LED Display (1366 x 768), 320 GB HDD with HP ProtectSmart hard drive protection, VGA webcam with integrated microphone, multi-format card reader, WiFi, and of course in-built 4G LTE connectivity. The notebook runs on the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

The HP Pavilion dm1-3010nr will be available starting today for $599.99. Broadband data plans go for $50/month (5GB) or $80/month (10GB). Head over to the Verizon website if you’re interested in purchasing one.
