Good find. You can save a bit more if you use coupon code T3$XZHZKP4RXT? for $25 off $599.99+ on Home & Home Office laptops and desktops (excludes Vostro, Latitude, and Precision). That gets you to $874.99.

If you spend at least $999.99, you can use coupon code CN1ZBM2R3L$G2C for $50 off instead.

Looks like a nice laptop! I'm interested to see the 7730m performance after its released. So far details are very limited.

Also, hopefully ATI releases drivers to officially support the 7690m xt on our HP laptops shortly since this card is out. Looks like the performance of the 7690m xt and 7750m are very similar.

The AMD Radeon HD 7730M is a DirectX 11 graphics card for medium sized laptops and positioned in the performance class. It is manufactured in 28nm and based on the GCN (Graphics Core Next) architecture.

The Radeon HD 7730M is not yet officially announced and therefore the information is still based on rumors and leaks likehttp://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=98&pgno=4

The design of the Radeon 7700M series has its roots to the Cape Verde chip as found, for example, on the desktop Radeon HD 7750 with 512 1D shader cores and 32 texture units. However, it has a core clock of only 575 - 675 MHz compared to 800 MHz for the HD 7750. As a result, power consumption is expected to be much lower. While the desktop-version supports PCIe 3.0, the 7700M-Series doesn't (according to AMD).

The performance should be between the DDR3-versions of Nvidias GeForce GT 650M and 640M. Therefore, current (Spring 2012) and demanding games should run fluently in medium or high settings in most cases.

Features of the 7730M include the new UVD3 video decoder for decoding MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2, Flash and now also Multi-View Codec (MVC) and MPEG-4 part 2 (DivX, xVid) HD videos directly from the AMD GPU.

The 7700M series also supports automatic graphics switching between the integrated GPU and discrete GPU. Called Enduro, the technology supersedes AMD's Dynamic Switchable Graphics and is similar to Nvidia's Optimus. Furthermore, the 7730M can directly support up to 6 connected monitors using Eyefinity Technology if Enduro is disabled.

Other features of the 7700M series include ZeroCore for reducing power consumption when the display is turned off and Power Gating to power down areas of the chip that are not used. PowerTune allows automatic overclocking and underclocking of the graphics card as long as the GPU is within its TDP range. For example, the chip may be underclocked when running FurMark and OCCT, but will overclock in certain games like Lost Planet, Crysis or Resident Evil 5.

The integrated HD audio processor is able to transmit HD Audio (TrueHD or DTS Master Audio) over HDMI and DisplayPort (e.g., for Blu-Ray videos). Additionally, it now allows audio to output simultaneously and in parallel to multiple devices with the new Discrete Digital Multipoint Audio (DDMA) feature.

Power consumption of the 7730M should be suited for 15-inch-laptops or greater.

I just called customer service, and they told me that I have to call in to get the Student discount; and can only use one coupon per purchase; are you guys able to use two promotions?

Is it possible to take advantage of Student promotion online? If yes, what is the student offer promotional code?

There's no student code. Add the $899.99 configuration on this page (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=CAqD7bLWUPI&subid=0&offerid=250536.1&type=10&tmpid=1534&u1=forums&RD_PARM0=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.dell.com%252Fca%25 2Fp%252Fstudent-offer-spendget%253Fcs%253Dcappp1&u1=forums&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.dell.com%252Fca%25 2Fp%252Fstudent-offer-spendget%253Fcs%253Dcappp1): (same as Final War mentioned) and you should get a $50 discount in your cart automatically. From there, use the $25 off coupon code in my post. You should get a $824.99 price.

This is a pretty excellent config if you want a higher end laptop! The Inspirons don't have great build quality however, which would make me think twice. It would be insanely fast with an SSD which are getting cheap as hell these days too. Yummy!
