Looking for a few cheapish laptops for conference rooms. They won't be getting abused on the road, so I don't need a thinkpad or similar roadwarrior tested laptop. Anything from a known brand with a 3yr warranty available will be fine.

Requirements are
1080p display (14" and up)
HDMI port
Win 7 Pro

I configured an HP dv6tse with these for about $1k. Looking for something closer to $750 - $800.

the 3 year warranty, 1080p, and notebook limitations are costly
windows 7 professional is only found standard on business grade laptops
you'll probably want to stick with a business laptop for better warranty support

does it need to be a laptop?
why not just a computer on a cart?

It's nice to have a monitor in front of you for presentations... presenter view is very handy.

i may forgo the 3yr warranty if the laptops are cheap enough. most business laptops will come with a 3yr standard depot type warranty, but getting one of those with 1080p is neither easy nor cheap.

How many units are you looking to buy? Any issues with refurbished?

Think I might grab a few of these bundles if my rep confirms they are still available. I was actually looking at the laptop alone, for the same price as the bundle, thinking it was a great deal. $829 including a free messenger bag and either the sheet battery (sells for $150) or docking station (sells for $200) is a steal considering all other sites are selling the laptop alone for $900 - $1,000. CDW does charge tax and a few bucks for shipping though, but I can always get a few bucks knocked off the quote, especially if I'm picking up 4 or 5 of these.

It does say offer ends 2/28, but it also says they are still in stock and it let me get through to check out. I guess I'll find out in the morning.

For 1080p (1920x1080) a $1K minimum is more realistic.
