Full proclamation here!

OK it sounds very very nice. The i7 the light weight, the metal.

Yep - I was impressed by the specs myself. As mentioned in another post, the family is looking into this series. I myself am thinking about replacing my 12.1" for this 13" ... but hmmm, the price is a bit high.

Absolutely! HP is pushing hard to get into i7 for sure. And the price for the 15" is quite competitive.
