I'm looking for the premium laptops: large screen, but light, and fully loaded with cutting edge features. I want:
- LED backlit screens.
- HDMI or DVI (preferably the former).
- Top of the line video cards (for example, something better than the NVIDIA 8400 GS).
- Better weights, as HP laptops tend to be on the weighty side.
And, of course, somewhat more standard options available today:
- 7200 rpm HDDs.
- Bluetooth.
- fingerprint reader.
I will give HP kudos for staying on top of the technology curve, though. I noticed that HP had a full lineup of Santa Rosa laptops available, whereas Dell hasn't updated a significant portion of their lineup (like in their vaunted XPS line, only one out of the four is running on Santa Rosa).
