Title: HP having a sale on i7 Laptops
Post by: WarrenPrice on April 07, 2010, 10:54

As mentioned in a previous post, I have some money to spend and have been shopping.  I got this from HP in an email.

I nearly bought the DV8t Quad Edition with an 18.4 inch screen last night.  I added RAM up to 8gb and included the Adobe Elements and Premiere Elements package and other odds and ends and the total came to just over $1900.  I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.  That was much cheaper than the Sony Vaio in similar configuration and way less than the last time I looked.   IT'S A SALE!!!    :o ;D

I'm going back for more.   ;D

BTW:  the Adobe Elements package was less than $120 with this package.  Does anyone know if the Elements 8 version takes advantage of the 64 bit processing?
