In case you missed it, this back-breaking system boasts a 20.1-inch display along with what HP seems keen to call "15.5 lb. of portable performance." That includes your choice of Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Extreme processors, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics, up to 4GB of RAM, and a range of hard drive and optical drive options, among other premium features. Just be sure you know what you're getting into, as the cost of entry for this one is a hefty $2,750."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/hp-hdxseries-07-25.jpg" /><br /><br />Can you just look at those specs? Makes my current Toshiba Portege M4 look wimpy. Ok, to rattle them off - in this 15.5lb behemoth, you get a Core 2 processor, 4GB RAM, 20.1" WSXGA+ dual-lamp Ultra BrightView widescreen, 512MB video RAM, HDDVD/1080p, a wide array of connectivity (USB, SVideo, Firewire, CF/xD/etc card reader, etc. etc. etc.), and much more. Just take a look at the specs page if you don't believe me. You can get a lot more information <a href="http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Usage&v1=Extreme%20Multimedia&series_name=HDX_series&a1=Usage&v1=Extreme%20Multimedia">here on HP's site</a>. One thing to point out is that the laptop comes with SlingPlayer installed which makes for a very compelling TV supporting system.
