HP's New ProBook Laptop Line Released To Rave Reviews

Yesterday HP announced the availability of a new line of laptops, the ProBook Series, designed for business and education customers. Models come in a choice of 14-inch, 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch screen sizes, with options like Blu-ray players, Intel or AMD processors, 1, 2, or 4GB of RAM (up to 8GB possible if you're totally nuts), 160/250/320 or 500GB hard drives, HDMI port, Windows Vista/XP downgrade or Linux operating systems, interestingly enough, and lots more that I won't bore you with a list of. The "merlot" color, pictured, will be available in June, for those who think "red" is not bourgeois enough: "This laptop really sings on the palette, exuding notes of oak, cherry and apple woods, with subtle tones of berries and high notes beautifully evocative of its ATI Radeon graphics processor..." I can't wait until they come in sauvignon blanc.
Pricing starts at just an impressively low $529, and I have read nothing but rave reviews from other tech bloggers and editors. Watch a video introduction to the series here.
It's really cool to see such computing power becoming ever less expensive... but depressing at the same time of course, as my two year old, $800 laptop is looking more like an obsolete ripoff every day. Sigh.
