Hi all,
I'm in the market for a new laptop and the other day the HP ENVY 15-1022TX, caught my attention - I would buy it now from Alpha city (cheapest on price-spy $2323
http://www.alphacity.co.nz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=518_523&products_id=64126)
but I'm worried about how much its dropped in price, Ascent has it listed as originally being $5652!! and now its $2,459 (http://www.ascent.co.nz/productspecification.aspx?ItemID=383117).
So whats the deal, why has the price dropped so much? is it a bargin? are new models coming out? if I wait longer will the price drop more?
Also why is the
HP ENVY 15-1114TX (http://www.alphacity.co.nz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=518_523&products_id=57957)
more expensive then the
HP ENVY 15-1022TX (http://www.alphacity.co.nz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=518_523&products_id=64126)
- the HP ENVY 15-1022TX has more 8gb RAM and an i7 compared to 4gb and an i5?
FYI - Im buying a laptop pretty much to replace my desktop, I use it mainly for backing up DVD's, development (J2EE) and watching movies. I could probably go a lower spec machine but I'll probably hang on to this for ~4 years so I figured I would get something decent to future-proof it - if you can suggest an alternative laptop I would be interested.
Thanks in advance.
