HP dv2910us: my wife's new laptop

Purchased this stunning beauty yesterday from Fry's ... in a special 2 day offer... got this for $679 USD + $52 taxes - $50 mailing rebate... (hope my friend collects it and gives it to me... i am leaving for india in 4 days :( !)... effectively $680 USD (under 30 thousand INR)

I am generally getting lucky with Frys... last time i purchased Jabra 125 @ half price on a single day offer and this time 20% discount on one of the hot selling brands in Laptops..

Just checked the prices in india for HP Pavilion pieces.. they range anywhere from  50000 to 60000 rupees.... man we are talking of 20000 -30000 saving... that's big :D... lucky me.

It comes with headphones and remote control.. completely built for ENTERTAINMENT... my wife got to love it :D
