Here's what annoys me. I was just spec'ing this out and was really considering ordering... but 1366 x 786 display on a 15.6-inch!? Come on. They need some higher res display options.
Hey Joshua, Please is there a way you could post back the Core i7 Story for the HP Touchsmart 600 Series so I can get some input as to what makes the Core i7 worth the extra $300. Or Could you yourself help me? I want to buy one this weekend but don't see why the Core i7 which number wise is slower than 2.66GHZ C2D, is worth so much. Thanks
well if you remember not long ago for a 15 inch monitor the best resolution was 800x600 so i guess this resolution is fair for this screen.. I believe we have been a bit spoiled with the resolutions. This doesn't mean the pixel density on my SE X1 isn't awesome !! :)
@Joshua Topolsky: The MacBook Pro 15 isn't that much higher (1440x900). In fact, for the price the MBP 15 is, thats kind of embarrassing that it isn't running 1680x1050 at minimum.
Remember, this is a really cheap laptop (considering the styling is actually eye-catching for an HP). I wouldn't expect too much better that 720ish P. If the base price were in the $1000 range, then you have yourself an argument.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

By the way it gets much cheaper if you deselect f*cked up Norton Antivirus!

Here's a dilemma. Should I buy this with my Employee Price discount or should I upgrade my desktop gaming rig.

@Joshua Topolsky How 2004 of HP. I wonder why they did that?
@Zaro27 How bad do you need a laptop? I'm pretty into the mobility, personally.
@Joshua Topolsky
thats what the real Envy is for, this thing is budget.

Sorry, but the MBP 15's 1440*900 then gets a free pass? :o
