With summer just beginning, that’s clear indication that it’s time to torture students with the thought of going back by releasing information on back to school products.  Nothing will make a student cringe more than discussing the next school year in early June.  Well at least it’s for a decent reason this time.  HP is releasing a laptop specifically for students and they’re even giving it a slightly more artistic look.

The HP Pavilion dv6z Artist Edition notebook is likely to appeal to a great deal of students that are tired of the usual look of laptops.  Of course most just slap a skin on their laptop if they want to give it a colorful look.  It has a 16-inch LCD and comes with a software suite including Video Studio X2, Corel Painter Sketchpad and Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo x2.  It uses AMD processors with up to 500GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.  They also toss in Magix Music Maker 14.  It’d be a great machine for students into art and music.  It will be shipped as of June 10th and will start at $949.
