not much. all i no is that, you can get on in the usa and online. costomize it as well. i dont know when their gonna introduce it in canada. so i couldnt wait and bought the premium series instead. and hp in the canada is offering windows 7 to any person who bought a computer/laptop after June 26 that has Windows Vista Home Premium or greater installed on it for free. I got mine on June 27. Lucky Me. If you need to know anything more about the laptop. mssg me. P.S Great Laptop Thou.
Sounds like you are looking at an HP Pavilion notebook.
-Vista premium is worth the extra $35.. has more features and stuff… Vista basic is basically a redo of Windows XP
-AMD mobile processors are not as good as Intel right now. The Intel Core 2 Duo is the best and newest processor available.
-1 gb is probably enough to run windows Vista smoothly but if you plan to do more intense programs (video editing/ 3d designing/ lots of newer PC games) you might want the extra GB. Remember you can always upgrade RAM later and it might be worth it to wait and look for a good deal or sale from another store to upgrade later, instead of paying extra from the start..
-80GB is probably ample for a laptop, and remember you can always upgrade the HDD or buy another external HDD fairly cheaply (under $100) to store extra stuff on.
-I would go with the Intel PRO 3945 wireless because it is compliant with Centrino technology, Intel's standard "branding" for efficiency and reliability notebooks. It is probably more reliable and energy-efficient than just the standard integrated wireless solutions. (I'm not entirely sure though.. might wanna research it more online..)
-I hear that on an HP notebook, the 6-cell gets just over 2 hours of life… so if you plan to travel lots, get a bigger battery or get extra batteries..
