Last week, friendly HP product manager Brian Allen explained the new naming for HP's 2007 line of commercial notebooks.

The good news is that the Palo Alto company reduced its number of platforms from 9 to 3 this year: the 2000 series (ultra portable, sub 4lbs), 6000 series (balanced mobility, 4.5-6lbs) and 8000 series (performance systems, 6-7.5 lbs)...

The bad news is that it's still too complex, with 3 platforms and 4 different levels of features, etc... if you don't believe me... watch Allen's video after the jump, explaining it and share your comments!
