    HP Pavilion dv2700t Special Edition customizable Notebook PC

    * Upgrade to Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
    * Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.50GHz)
    * 14.1" diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
    * 3GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    * 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
    * HP Imprint Finish (Verve) + Microphone + Webcam + Fingerprint Reader
    * Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
    * 200GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
    * LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
    * 40% OFF HP ExpressCard Digital/Analog TV Tuner
    * 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery

    This is a month old with absolutely no scratches and works like new (it basically is new lol) Notice it does bring the 12 cell battery AND 200 GB 7200 rpm hard drive. Again, there is nothing wrong with the laptop, im just thinking of moving on to a macbook pro

    No idea, but the memory on the video card would kill the deal for me. Vista requires 64 megabytes of video memory just for Aero alone.

    I'd say no less than $900-$1000. Brand new that config would cost ~$1200.

    No less than $900? You can get similar specs for under $800 easy now a days. Especially with brands like HP, Gateway, Acer, etc: If it was an Sony, Dell or Mac then I would agree.

    since the t9300 is still one of the top processors and its a 200gb 7200 rpm drive, i think it will AT LEAST be 900. making it bran new WITH coupons wont get it even close to 900

    $800 would be the sweet spot for such a computer with good mobility!
