BTW 8GB RAM?! ]]>Aug 11th 2008 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/hp-gets-official-with-elitebook-8730w-8530w-and-8530p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/hp-gets-official-with-elitebook-8730w-8530w-and-8530p/
I would imagine that would be a stupidly basic version. At a guess, i would think the fully specced version would push $3500 perhaps even $5000. I mean, a 1GB workstation GFX card is going to be damned expensive on it's own - a simple google shows that it's well over $2000 for some models. The RAM will be expensive, simply because they've got to use either 4x2GB sticks or 2x4GB sticks. The processor is probably included in the base price though..]]>Aug 11th 2008 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/hp-gets-official-with-elitebook-8730w-8530w-and-8530p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/hp-gets-official-with-elitebook-8730w-8530w-and-8530p/Aug 11th 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/hp-gets-official-with-elitebook-8730w-8530w-and-8530p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/hp-gets-official-with-elitebook-8730w-8530w-and-8530p/
No it doesn't play Crisis, Hell it can't even manage Doom!

No it does not blend.

Yes it actually is albeit slightly, more powerful than the iPhone.]]>Aug 11th 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/hp-gets-official-with-elitebook-8730w-8530w-and-8530p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/hp-gets-official-with-elitebook-8730w-8530w-and-8530p/And yes it will blend , what are you talking about ?
