This is the first I've heard of this:

With the HD-friendly Pavilion dv9000t, HP shows that it continues to take entertainment seriously when designing its laptops. The latest iteration of the desktop replacement incorporates a bevy of high-end components, such as a Core 2 Duo processor, discrete Nvidia graphics, and a built-in HD-DVD drive, into its lightweight case.


...


Key features on the entertainment-oriented Pavilion dv9000t are the built-in HD-DVD drive and the accompanying 17-inch wide-screen display, features that put it in direct competition with the Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV650. With a native resolution of 1,440x900, the Pavilion dv9000t's glossy screen is good for watching high-def content...


...


The aforementioned HD-DVD drive is also a double-layer DVD burner with LightScribe, which lets you burn your own labels onto compatible discs.
seems like it's going to be added in the future, since the current configurations don't allow for the HD DVD drive:

Wow...if it really can do HD-DVD and burn dual-layer DVD's, I'm all over this. I just found my new laptop.


Isn't the Qosmio just HD-DVD and DVD-ROM?

If you look, the HD-DVD is indeed there!


"HD DVD ROM with SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer"


It's a $450 upgrade! Ouch.
