@sidz - actually if you base it on market cap, then apple is about 50% bigger than hp....

Come on hp, a big freakin company copying design from small company? thats sad, you've got tons of cash, got good R&D team and yet what you do is copy?be original you douche', you are same like microsoft then..thats sad.well i've bad experienced on your notebooks and don't think i will ever touch you product anymore.

Jose, the newer quads (Nehalem based) will shut off cores that aren't needed/being used. Power consumption shouldn't be bad at all.

Those notebooks look standard HP to me. The specs are nice enough, but the one with a quad core processor must have a very short battery life. I guess all that power comes at a price.
