Cyber Monday Deal: HP dv8t for $899
I have been blown away at the sheer utility provided by an 18-inch notebook, especially as a desktop replacement system. I am evaluating the Acer system, but HP has a big laptop too. The HP dv8t is a Intel Core i7 (quad core) system with the big screen, dedicated graphics and a host of other features.
I spotted over at Gear Diary that LogicBuy has pointed out that HP has a Cyber Monday deal for the dv8t that is simply great. You can get the quad core dv8t, a free upgrade to 4 GB of memory and a free upgrade to a 320 GB 7,200 rpm HDD for the unbelievable price of $899. Check out the LogicBuy information if you are looking for a giant laptop.

Yep – big notebooks rule the roost! I’ve known that for many years. ;)
I’m kind of surprised HP got rid of their HDX line, this dv8 is a stripped-down version of their premium offerings, hence the low price.
I’d like to see a better high-end model from HP, something that has GTX graphics for hard-core gaming. An Envy 17/18 would fill that role quite well.
Gotta love quad core laptops.
The screens are actually 18.4″, right?
