It's refurbished, but most Dell's are.
HP is a solid product, 17" little small, but the price is right.
Guarantee/Warantee on that?

boxcardrew · Jan 31, 2010

Only thing I would prefer is to have Intel instead of AMD in it. Maybe a free upgrade to Windows 7 as well.

billhill999 · Jan 31, 2010

Yeah, Intell > AMD, no comparison.

If you want a laptop, buy this one:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gateway...ategoryId=pcmcat196200050013&id=1218159403499

FANTASTIC DEAL FOR $500!!! Slickdeals is going nuts over this one.

Going to Best Buy to pick one up right now... and I have NO NEED for a laptop. Just going to buy this for an upgrade and sell the old one.

i5-430m processor
4GB DDR3 RAM
Blu-Ray Player
HDMI Output
15.6" HD display (1366x768)
320 GB Hard Drive
Wireless N Card
Multi-in-1 media reader
Built in webcam and microphone
128MB video memory - actually not bad for a laptop

BTW the processor is listed as an i3 but is really an i5.

the above deal the poster put up from best buy was same one I just found LOL and so im erasing it.. BUT i am adding to it that

it has everything and more the first original suggestions said would be better to get... especially the intel chipset (HD quality core)

and more importantly a BLU RAY PLAYER for free is unreal.. (these are 150-200 to buy right now and install yourself in a laptop so this is like a huge freebie)

its smarter to order over the internet because 10% bing cash back ($50) is one helluva ice cream topper!

The only thing I noticed is the screen is a little small

So if it has a blue ray player can I hook it into my TV and play Blueray dvd's on the TV?

YES

Your HDTV needs to have HDMI input (almost all do) and you need an HDMI cable (these are fairly cheap online).

How do you get the 10% cash back?

First, if you have Adblock Plus, Disable it.

1) Go to Bing.com

2) Log into your account (create one if you don't have one)

3) Search for "beach camera"

4)

Now you will be in the Best Buy website with BCB enabled.

Kruser6 · Jan 31, 2010

No matter what I do I can't get the Best Buy screen to come up in Bing. I typed in everything I could think of to get it to come up. The beach camera one shows everything from the Sears one down? Any ideas?

nimue77 · Jan 31, 2010

600 for a used HP Pavilion? No way.
7.7 pounds, that's a hefty laptop.
I still love my 3.3 pound, 14.1 inch laptop I got 4 years ago.

make sure to turn ad blocker off or it will never work and

For Bing cb, use "beach camera" or just do a keyword search "digital camera" or "lcd tv" for 10% at Bestbuy.com --

for more help try this deal site thread.. they have 1000s of people buying this http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1832293
