    Hey guys, i'm really excited about the realeace of hp's new 17in laptop. I have a few speculative questions for you all.

    Do you think this laptop will have an intagrated TV Tuner? I have been reading various articles and I think it might.

    Will the new Centrino 2 processors be avalible for upgrade when this is realeaced? (montevina)

    You'll have an option for the TV tuner, and yes, it will have the Centrino 2's.

    HP's release schedule for the dv7t is July/August for the intel based versions. The AMD versions based on the Puma platform should be available in July.

    certain models will have integrated tv tuners, which exact models, I don't know, but you should be able to get one with an AMD CPU earlier than an Intel. since Centrino 2 was delayed.
