AMD's low-power Mullins APU is apparently doing quite well as it has scored a rather major design win with HP's Pavilion 10z notebook.

Spotted by Techreport.com, the HP Pavilion 10z is not exactly an average notebook and as its US $249.99 price tag hints, this is more of an Chromebook or netbook alternative. Based on a 10.1-inch 1366x768 touchscreen, AMD's E1 Micro-6200T dual-core APU, 2GB or DDR3 memory and a 500GB 5,400RPM HDD.

The AMD E1 Micro-6200T APU is the low end offer from AMD's Jaguar-based Mullins APU lineup and it is a dual-core SoC with CPU cores clocked at 1.4GHz, 3.95W TDP, as well as AMD Radeon R2 Graphics with 128 Stream Processors and 300MHz GPU clock.




The rest of the HP Pavilion 10z features include USB 2.0 and 3.0 prot, 100Mpbs Ethernet, SD card reader and Miracast compatible WiFi, most likely 802.11n. It also features a 24Wh battery which should keep it up and running for up to 4 hours of video playback.

While this is not a high-end or even a mainstream notebook, it is still a good Chromebook alternative and gives you a decent and portable notebook for US $250. It also appears that OEMs like AMD's Mullins APUs and hopefully we will see some higher-performance parts in other notebooks as well.
