    Hi all - I had the HDX16 on my shortlist for a new laptop but in all of the recent announcements by HP on refreshed Pavilions and new Envy laptops, the HDX has been conspicuous by it's absence. No information at all and I can still only see it available in Win Vista format from retailers, not Win 7.

    Does anyone have any clue what the future holds for HDX? It looks like a good choice for a general multimedia laptop. Any refresh or updates planned? Or are HP likely to discontinue it?

    Well the core i9 won't happen until like a year or so. I would love to see a core i7 with the hdx 16 it's much of a better laptop, i have seen it plus smaller screen, not to much of a 16:9 ratio that manufactures try to push onto people, I don't like it much and neither none of my laptops have it. A dream color screen would be great with rgb led or led, touch would be awesome but man the price would sky rocket.
