Even though the processor isn't out, orders can be placed already

Even though AMD's Brazos 2.0 accelerated processing units have yet to be launched, machines based on them are making their presence felt.

The product whose specifications surfaced this time around is called pavilion dm1-4210au and is a laptop made by HP.

With hardware based around the E1-1200 Brazos 2.0 APU, it is bound to start shipping next month (June 2012), as soon as the Brazos 2.0 line itself is released.

Speaking of which, there will be another Brazos 2.0 processor, called E2-1800, which is faster in both processing (1.7 GHz) and graphics, while sticking to the same thermal envelope (18 W).

That's neither here nor there though, so we'll go ahead and provide the specs of the Pavilion dm1-4210au now.

The AMD E1-1200 is a dual-core chip with 1.4 GHz clock, the Radeon HD 7310 graphics (500 MHz) and 1 MB of L2 cache memory.

2 GB of RAM (random access memory) back it up and a hard disk drive provides storage space (500 GB).

Moving on, the display measures 11.6 inches in diagonal and probably boasts a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 and LED backlighting.

Finally, the chipset paired with Brazos 2.0 guarantees SATA 6.0 Gbps storage speeds (or at least the possibility for such) and USB 3.0 support.

Other specs include Gigabit Ethernet (Integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN), 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, a VGA output, HDMI, audio jacks (headphones/speakers and mic), HP TrueVision HD Webcam (with Integrated Digital Microphone), Beats Audio speakers and Bluetooth.

HP's online store in Malaysia has actually put the item up for order, so check out the place for all the info currently available. The price is 1,399 RM, which roughly corresponds to $448 / 353 Euro. We suspect that the rest of the world will get their shot at the computer once AFDS rolls around (AMD Fusion Developer Summit, June 11-14, 2012).
