    Wow, finally an actual IPS screen? When it comes out, I'd love to see a review of this with some detailed shots of the screen

    Like the look of it overall, I've always thought the HP Elitebook 17" workstations were the nicest out of Lenovo and Dell's offerings. Seems like it'll put a serious dent in your wallet though

    Interesting move by HP. Just when Dell and Lenovo are still fresh with the LED RGB, HP now introduces the IPS panel. Now let's hope this will stir up some competition and the mighty IPS will be brought back to the consumers' hands.

    The only thing that irks me about the 8740w is the fact that to all indications, it'll still only come with 1 hard drive bay (2 if you're willing to give up your optical drive... I'm not quite there, just yet). Otherwise, it looks like a lovely machine.

    Wow, before HP and Dell used the same 8-bit TN RGBLED panel. HP really has stepped up with this screen, I hope it lives up to its reputation when it's reviewed.

    I'd love panels of this quality to become more mainstream. How much does HP charge for the upgrade?

    Think I heard anywhere from $400-800, since HP has "interesting" pricing configurations btw CTO and BTO models.

    Don't have to be designer to appreciate or want an IPS, to me this laptop is extremely sexy....USB 3.0, backlit keyboard, core i7, IPS panel, Elitebooks build quality reputation, absolutely awesome.
