HN has this sweet deal for $796, its the same laptop as the deal going around from shoppingexpress except the 4GB ram, blue-ray player, the $55 price difference (cheaper)& $150 worth of Freebies or Office 2010 Student.
i guess if you're really intent on getting 8GB ram you can always just buy a 4GB stick of DDR3 1333Mhz RAM for 30 bucks and stick it into the empty slot.
It comes with a permanent (not a trail) genuine free copy of Office 2010 student (1 user)!
either way the main reason i like this deal is for the 2 GB of DDR5 switchable graphics card. this is the first time i've seem a laptop with 2gb dd5 gc under $800 - pickup.
i bought the one from shoppingexpress just a few days ago and i've got absolutely no regrets what so ever, it a very nice piece of tech.
Some HN stores are giving customers the option to choose between the office 2010 or $150 worth of stuff from their store. so free HDD's, monitors, games ect would make a it an ever nicer deal.
