17.3 inch Laptop Deals - Best Laptops for Sale

MegaMacs offers the 7.3-lb. HP Pavilion Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7 2.3GHz 17.3" LED-Backlit Laptop, model no. DV7-7047cl, for $699.99 plus around $18 for shipping. That's $22 under last month's mention of a similarly-configured model (which featured a 1GB graphics card, but only a 750GB hard drive and 6-cell battery) and the best price we've seen for any HP Pavilion laptop with a Blu-ray player, 8GB of RAM, and 1TB hard drive. Features include an Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3GHz Ivy Bridge quad-core processor, 17.3" 1600x900 LED-backlit LCD, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, Blu-ray player/DVD burner, Beats Audio, 802.11n wireless, media card reader, USB 3.0, HDMI port, 9-cell battery, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Deal ends May 29.

Deal ends May 27.

It features an Intel Core i7-3630QM 2.4GHz Ivy Bridge quad-core processor, 17.3" 1600x900 LED-backlit LCD, 8GB RAM, 750GB hard drive, DVD burner, NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M 2GB video card, 802.11n wireless, webcam, media card reader, USB 3.0, HDMI, 6-cell battery, backlit keyboard, and Windows 8.
