    Hi

    I'm surprised to see there are no reviews yet anywhere for this laptop since it's been out now for about 3 months. Does NotebookReview.com plan to do one soon?

    Thanks,
    Rayt

    The 8730w only entered production last month and the Dreamcolor display models won't ship until later this month. The EliteBook range was announced in advance of availability, but there aren't actually any units in production until recently.

    Oh, I see. Thanks for setting me straight. I'll be a bit more patient with awaiting a review.

    it does not seem like the computer has been out long enough to get some real reviews.

    The DreamColor display on the 8730w is 24 bit, not 30 bit as the desktop DreamColor display.

    Isn't it a little strange that I still can't find any reviews on this notebook?
