    hey guys, i am in the market to purchase a laptop. i really like the hp ones. i am torn on the 14 inch or the 17inch. i called best buy to see if they had the 17 in stock and they said they didnt.

    when i asked why, he said, they could be possibly be coming out with some newer models.

    do you guys know anything about this?

    cause i can easily wait but i do want one now.

    thanks

    New models just came out, we're not aware of anything else on their immediate roadmap.

    I would not expect any new models until May 9th, when the Turion X2 is (unofficially) supposed to launch, and even then HP's plans for it are unknown.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Best Buy gets new configurations of the existing V2000/dv5000/dv8000 series though. More RAM, faster CPU, or some such thing. That happens a lot. They've been having a very difficult time keeping up with demand for the HP Turion models from the looks of it. I'm glad I bought my dv8125nr on sale from BB when I did, they're pretty much gone now.
