    I'm planning to get HP Pavilion DV2660SE/dv2700t Special series, its around $1,000 with 1.66ghz, 2gb ram, 250hdd. Just wondering will hp upgrade its hardware soon? next 2-3 months? one of my main reasons are i loved the print designs on it.

    obviously alot more.. maybe $200-300 more?

    have a look at a dv2637tx Special Edition. 2.2ghz 2gbram 250gb hdd Geforce 8400 bt,hdmi + the works.. seriously though 2.2ghz is enough processing power, anymore than that and battery life goes down too quick. Im sure the new pherom proccessors have improved battery consumption but not worth it getting it as soon as it comes out
