HP Pavilion HDX Dragon Notebook

I'm subscribed to Jake Ludington;s MediaLab, a blog focused on everything about audio and video, and came across this monster, the HP Pavilion HDX 20-inch Notebook.

 

The Dragon, as it is amply called, is dream machine, it is a gaming machine with a Core 2 Duo processor and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT, a DVD player with HD DVD ROM, a TV with its built-in TV tuner, and video recorder and, last but not least, a powerful computer (duh!).

 

It has specs that will make anybody drool (the specs are at the bottom), but a price that will make almost everybody shy away from it (the base specs starts at $2,999 or PHP 131,326.21 on the current exchange rate, mahal!)

 

But its something that you can try looking forward to, if ever you will hit the lotto jackpot. As I said, its dream machine, and I am dreaming about it right now, hehehe.

 

I'll be off to the lotto outlet, I'll be seeing you .
