I think this is the cheapest notebook around with the most stuff inside it. DSE has the laptop for $120 less, down from $1784. This is a unbelievable price considering the notebook was only released about a month ago and the rrp is almost $1900.
and it comes with the new i7-720QM quad core, bluray burner which is rarely advertised in the shop ads and has digital tv receiver built in which not even the HP site says is there!
