HP’s Pavilion dv6t and dv7t available with 1080p screens, those that bought three months ago sigh

When HP’s Pavilion Quad Edition dv6t and dv7t went on sale three months ago, we couldn’t consider too many detractors, but we did take issue with the truth that these 15.6- and 17.3-inch screens maxed out at 1600 x 900 resolution. In case you fall into that camp, well, the Powers That Be over at HP heard you — both machines are actually available with 1080p displays, for an additional $150. As before, both come standard with 2GHz quad-core Core i7 processors, AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics with 1GB of video memory, 4GB of RAM, and 640GB hard drives. HP can also be offering free upgrades to 6GB RAM and 750GB hard disk drive space, though no promises on how long that’ll last. Before you get too excited, though, 1080p displays are just an option on these so-called Quad Edition models and the dv6t Select Edition — meaning, you can not go for a lower-end dv6 or dv7t and expect to upgrade it. Confusing naming conventions aside, if you are tempted, we recommend you avail yourself of a few sweet coupons on the source links.
