I saw this CompUSA HP Pavilion DV9207US notebook today from an email I got from CompUSA and was surprise to find out how hot this deal is.  In fact I would say this is a smoking deal for a laptop with an 17 inch screen, high end graphics card, TV tuner, web camera, Window Premium Edition and a 1.73 Intel Duo Core processor, 120 GB hard drive and 1 GB memory.  If you want a desktop replacement laptop that can watch TV and even play all your high end games this is the best deal out there right now.  It is on sale for $799 with free shipping after $400 rebates.  I really hate mail in rebates but I will make an exception for this laptop.  I’ll probably be going down to my local CompUSA to pick it up tonight.  Yes, I do have a weakness for technology.

HP Pavilion DV9207US - Things that make a grown man drool

I have been buying Dell laptops and desktops for the past 10 years so this will be my first HP computer.  The difference between a good computer brand and a bad computer brand has been shrinking rapidly.  Many people ask me what computer should I buy, but I just tell them now days you can’t really go wrong, I mean how good of a computer do you need to surf the web.  Just like any other technology product as time goes by, the generic will perform just as well as the name brand.  Just think of DVD players just a few years ago when they used to cost $1000, the disparity between the cheap and quality DVD players were quite noticeable.  Today you can pick up a generic that does just about everything the name brand one does today.  The same thing is happening with computers, mp3 players, GPS, etc.
