    Best Buy has the dv7-1025nr on sale this week for $1299.99. When I configured a system to the same specs on HP.com, the total was $1,579.99 after $150 instant rebate!

    HP Pavilion dv7-1025nr
    Intel P8400 Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz
    Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
    4GB DDR2 RAM
    HP Infinity BrightView (1680x1050) display
    320GB 5400rpm HDD
    512mb nVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
    Webcam
    Intel 5100ABGN + Bluetooth

    SOLID specs, especially the display and graphics card! If you're looking at a dv7, this could be worth a shot...sreems like a deal!

    If you are willing to get a 17 inch, I would suggest forking over the extra ~$250 for a Gateway 7811-FX
