It may be a little early to start thinking about the back-to-school shopping season, but HP is already preparing for the crowds.

The company on April 22 announced its 2015 back-to-school notebooks, which include the HP Pavilion x360, the GP Envy x360, and a series of customizable HP Pavilion notebooks. With its small size and affordable price, the HP Pavilion x360 is perhaps the most eye-catching of all the options.

The updated HP Pavilion x360 will have a touchscreen display that can be turned 360 degrees, giving the notebook a tablet-like feel. Consumers can choose from a 1366×768 pixel or 1920×1080 pixel IPS display.

Those who opt for the 11.6-inch model will have up to 8.25 hours of battery life, 8GB of RAM and a 32 Whr battery. Consumers can also select an Intel Celeron, Pentium or Core M-5Y10C processor for the notebook.

The model is also available in 13.3 inches, an option that comes with a Core i5 Broadwell processor and a 48 Whr battery. It has 16GB of RAM and 13 hours of battery life.

“Customers told us that they wanted more color choices, more hardware options, and better battery life in our Pavilion notebooks and x360 convertible PCs,” said Mike Nash, vice president of portfolio strategy and customer experience at HP. “With our 2015 Pavilion line-up, we have combined bold new colors from Milan with the latest processors to give customers systems with a fresh new look that deliver better performance and battery life across the board.”

One key difference worth noting between the two model variations is that the 11.6-inch version is fanless. However, each edition has two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, an SD card reader and an Ethernet jack. Official prices have not been listed yet, but the company has shared the following samples:

  • 6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, Pentium N3700, 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive for $410
  • 6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, Core M-5Y10C, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD for $500
  • 3 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel display, Core i3 CPU, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD for $530

The HP Pavilion x360 convertible will be available on the HP website starting on May 13.

AMD may have just leaked the Ryzen 9 7950X3D release date

AMD may have confirmed the release date of the hotly-anticipated Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but it doesn't look intentional. According to OC3D, AMD briefly published a launch date of February 14 for its new processors.

The launch date has since been removed from all listings on AMD's website, so this was probably a slip-up. However, February 14 isn't out of the question. AMD confirmed when announcing the processors that they would arrive in February.

AMD is starting off its CES strong with the introduction of new 3D V-Cache Ryzen 7000 CPUs. Unlike the previous generation, AMD isn't restricting its 3D V-Cache to just a midrange CPU, and is instead introducing three chips that match most of AMD's current-gen lineup.

AMD introduced the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 7 7800X3D during its CES keynote today. The flagship chip, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, tops out with 16 cores, a 5.7GHz boost clock speed, and 144MB of cache.
