    Ok...I'm a little befuddled here...This HP Elitebook 8460w seems like a great deal and the specs look good, but is it really a great computer? And it is Ivy Bridge right? I can't seem to find many reviews of the comp.

    Is Rakuten (formerly buy.com) a fine seller to deal with? Anyone have an experience with them?

    Yes, thank you t.saddington! Indeed, you were very helpful! I see you have the HP DV6. Is that the Dv6z model? Are you pretty happy with it? Which is clunkier, your Elitebook or the Dv6?

    Hey, yeah I have the DV6z but I barely use it. It has too many faults (like the hinges and screen) so yeah :p The Elitebook is much clunkier than the DV6 but the build quality is outstanding and I really love it :D
