im getting a new laptop for college, and this is what im leaning towards as of now: HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition customizable Notebook PC LM720AV Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1 2nd generation Intel(R) Quad Core(TM) i7-2630QM (2.0 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) w/Turbo Boost up to 2.9 GHz 1GB GDDR5 Radeon(TM) HD 6770M Graphics [HDMI, VGA] Upgrade to 8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) 640GB 7200RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection FREE Upgrade to Norton Internet Security(TM) 2011 - 15 Month Subscription (activation required) 9-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery (over-sized) - Up to 9.75 hours of battery life +++ 15.6" diagonal High Definition HP BrightView LED Display (1366x768) FREE Upgrade to Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner HP TrueVision HD Webcam with Integrated Digital Microphone and HP SimplePass Fingerprint Reader Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN with Wireless Display Support the price comes to $869.99 before taxes. it seems pretty good to me, but i dont pretend to know a ton about computers. for anyone who does, how does this one look? also, ill be doing some gaming on it (skyrim especially when its released) and i might be running some auto CADD or other drafting software on it.
Whoah! You got a really powerful laptop man. If you can pay it then go for it man! Although for me $869.99 plus taxes seems a little much. My brother bought a laptop that can run Crysis at high settings for only $600.
