Deal/coupon of the week: While supplies last you can now get your hands on one of the fastest and also most versatile gaming laptops on the planet: the 15-inch HP Envy 15 with a Quad-Core (eight-threaded) Core i7 CPU and the highly capable ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4830.  The HD4830 GPU should theoretically deliver between 7,000 and 8,000 points in 3DMark 06 at stock clock speeds, making it capable of playing any recent game. Even if the Envy 15 is not an outright gaming laptop, it certainly perfoms as one. It is also equipped with a full 6GB of DDR3 RAM and a stunning Full HD 1980×1080 display.
