    I got a question I am going to buy a Notebook
    from the stores at : http://www.elcorteingles.es
    here in spain.

    They just got in the zd7395EA.
    but is not even mentioned here at Notebook review
    that mostly talk about zd7000 and some zd8000

    is zd7395ea only made for spain and italy ?

    here is a spanish link about it:
    http://www.elcorteingles.es/informatica/producto/producto.asp?referencia=15215511906

    I hope Zd7395Ea is not some sort of refurbished notebook
    made for some certain countries.
    i dont think Hp would do such think anyway.

    So is Zd7395Ea a good Notebook to consider if i want a
    HP desktop remplacement notebook ?

    or should i wait a bit for Zd8000 ?(i want notebook for christmas)

    Anoter HP pavillion that is not covered in Notebook review
    (looking in the forums )
    is Zd7259

    http://www.elcorteingles.es/informatica/producto/producto.asp?referencia=15215511088

    It also seem a nice notebook but has only 512 MB ram


    What's up with Hp pavillion zd7395 and zd7259
    is it not review since is just released in some countries

    MAYBE... Zd7395 and zd7259 is called
    something else outside spain in case what?

    Thanks

    They're just prebuilt/preconfigured zd7000 machines. There's no need for new reviews of them.

    The zd8000 ought to be worth waiting for if you have the patience. (Please, please be an Athlon 64 machine...)

    Thanks then is more clearer , but This prebuilts ones
    are updates yes, because i see they have better things
    than Zd7000.

    so is realy better get a zd7395 than a zd7000?

    and if i buy a zd7395 after looking a zd7000 review
    i have to know is even better than the review tells me
    since is prebuilt and updated
    right?

    They've added new options to the zd7000 configure-to-order page, some of which were used to make the zd7395EA. They add new options to CTO notebooks all the time.

    The newer components, should you select them, will improve the notebook over the older review... but it's still a P4 notebook with a GeForceFX 5700 video card on the same motherboard. I'd expect the zd8000 to be a much more substantial improvement if you can wait for it.

    Also, when talking about a ZD7000 or ZD8000, it's just the series of notebook. The ZD7000 series notebook can either consist of a CTO (Config-To-Order) unit or a pre-assembled unit. CTO units are only available in the US (actual CTO plant in Indianapolis or Indiana, don't know if they're the same). Pre-assembled units are the exact same as CTO units, except that they don't give you the option to configure yourself, same goes for the models in Canada. The model#'s for pre-assembled units may differ from country to country.

    So, if you're looking for reviews specifically for the ZD7395EA, someone that actually has this unit will have to write one. Otherwise, basing it on the ZD7000 series (ZD7395EA is part of this series) will give you a good idea how the system will perform and on the build quality.

    Hmmm... yours came direct from Shanghi huh? I was told that they have a CTO facility in Indianapolis or Indiana. Maybe they only do desktops & servers, but I was sure they also did notebooks there. Maybe I'm wrong.
