HP EliteBook 8530p, Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 15.4" WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050) w/cam, 2 GB DDR2, 250GB HDD (7200 RPM), Radeon HD 3650 HDMI, Wifi n, 8 cell-bat, f-print, trackpoint button @ Tiger Direct $729.99 (free SH) - $89.06 (12.2% BCB) - $50 MIR = $590.93 final price This is great for California residents like me due to no sales tax or eWaste recycling fee, whereas most manufacturer-direct deals have to charge them. The Elitebook line is for businesses and are supposedly sturdier, more robust, and have better cust. service than consumer models. It gets good reviews with the exception of some issues with the graphics card drivers crashing. Not sure if this improved in Windows 7 (which you can get almost free as an upgrade via HP). To order, use IE and go to the Bing CB site. Do a search for 'TigerDirect' or another term and look for the 12.2% CashBack in the right column. Click the link and find the item. The BCB should show up in your cart! I believe the 12.2% CB ends tomorrow 12/2. Specifications Display Type: WSXGA+ TFT LCD
