HP’s CES plans have been spoiled early. Reports and pictures for some 14 new HP models have hit the internet, ranging from lowly netbooks to the high-end gaming machines. HP certainly is going to have a lot of nice offerings in 2010. Although we don’t have formal, full specs for each computer, pricing and some basic tech overviews for each model have been released.

The highlights – The HP Pavilion dv4i, will be a small notebook, with a 14″ screen and Windows 7. It won’t be a netbook, and will cost around $785. The HP Mini 210 HD is a variant of HP’s familiar Mini 210 netbook , but it will feature a HD video playback chip from Broadcom Crystal. That’ll cost you $330, vs. $321 for the regular HP Mini 210.

Other highlights – HP is releasing a new netbooks with the Compaq name, however, it’s your typical netbook (Atom, 1GB of RAM, GMA graphics), and they will ask $260 for it. HP is also adding a new line of desktops, the Pavilion Elite series will all ship in a ATX micro-tower case, and will all carry Core i5/i7 quad-core processors. The flagship of the line, the Elite HPE-180t, will sport 8GB of DDR3 memory and a GeForce GTX 260 graphics card.

We’re expecting these computers to be officially unveiled at CES (January 7th to 10th), with these new computers to go on sale shortly after.
