    Does anyone know if HP makes a business model that this wide screen?

    I want a 15.4 wide screen if at all possible.

    The only ones I have found are 17" and those are just too large for airplane travel.

    Thank you!

    Check out the nc8230 and the nw8240. They are currently the only 15.4" HP business models available.

    I should have been a little clearer on my post.

    I realize that HP makes widescreens and I've spent quite a bit of time on the business side of hp.com but from everything that I have found they only have Pentium M's in the widescreen line for some reason.

    No Dual Core and no AMD64 so in order to go widescreen I'd have to only get the Pentium M.

    Loooks like it will be a regular 15" to go with the better processor.

    Thanks!
