Even before Intel’s new Sandy Bridge is official, we’ve already seen HP laptops with them in the wild. But now they’re officially official. HP just updated a bunch of its consumer laptops here at CES, and the biggest change is that the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv6 and dv7 have been kicked over to Intel’s Sandy Bridge second-gen Core processors.

In addition to the new chips, the Envy 17 is getting HP CoolSense cooling and switchable AMD Radeon 6850M graphics with support for Intel Wireless Display — pricing and availability haven’t been determined yet, but we wouldn’t expect it to be cheap. On the other hand, the dv6 and dv7 are mostly the same apart from the processor bump, and they’ll be $899 and $999 when they hit on January 9th.

There’s no Sandy Bridge processor for netbooks, and we all know that HP’s Mini 210 is already available with the new dual-core N550 Atom processor as an option. Therefore to spice things up, HP has given two new pink plaid case lids for its netbooks.
