    dv9000z are the only notebook right now under $1000 with AMD Turion 64 X2 and 256MB GeForce Go 7600..
    This price is like 30% cheaper than the average price.


    I don't need a notebook right now, but I think people should really buy this if they want a good gaming notebook under $1000.

    Just wondering is HP online always this cheap or is just a one time thing?

    HP usually offers $100 to $250 in instant and mail-in rebates combined.

    It may be more or less at certain times, but the price should remain the same for awhile for the dv9000z.
