    Good stuff Brandon! I wanted to tack on a few of the cool AMD-based Windows 7 PCs that are available beginning today!

    HP Pavilion dm3z – the AMD version of the Pavilion dm3 comes with our new dual-core AMD Neo processor and switchable PowerXpress graphics so you can have best of both worlds…integrated graphics when unplugged and discrete graphics while plugged in.

    Acer Ferrari One – highly anticipated follow on to the Ferrari series. This new Ferrari features an 11.6” screen and an ATI XGP external graphics adaptor, which means you can have the power of desktop graphics in a ultrathin notebook. Pretty cool. Look for it to hit the market soon.

    HP TouchSmart tx2z – the AMD-exclusive multi-touch notebook gets updated with Windows 7. It has a 12.1” multi-touch screen with active digitizer for use as a tablet and is only 4.65 pounds. It comes with a Windows Media Center remote control and is the one I use personally. Loaded with Windows 7 Professional at Best Buy!

    Gateway NV5337u – Gateway’s latest 15.6” notebook equipped with top-of-the-line AMD Turion II Ultra processors and ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics with support for DirectX 10.1.

    Toshiba Satellite P505D – an entertainment powerhouse with a big 18.4” screen and latest AMD processors and graphics.

    HP Pavilion dv6z – full featured 15.6” notebook with our latest AMD dual core processors and ATI integrated or discrete graphics options.
