Celebrate Windows 7 With Big HP Savings — Only Till Oct. 29

NAHB members, take advantage of special offers on desktops and notebook PCs from HP to celebrate the launch of the Windows® 7 operating system. With the offers running only until Thursday, Oct. 29, there has never been a better time for a new HP PC.

The savings include:

  • An additional $50 instantly — $323 in total savings — on the new HP ProBook 5310m Notebook PC with Windows® 7 Professional. Incredibly thin and sleek, the HP ProBook 5310m Notebook PC starts at just 3.7 pounds and less than 1-inch thin.

    With the HP ProBook 5310m Notebook PC and Windows® 7, you can experience: a 68% increase in performance power; 45% longer battery life; and 38% faster start-up time and seven times faster shut down time compared to a four-year-old PC running Windows® XP.

  • Or, receive $100 instant savings on the HP dx7500 Business Desktop PC. This fully loaded desktop PC features 4GB of memory, a huge hard drive and Windows®7 Professional pre-installed to help you achieve ultimate productivity. 

    The HP dx7500 Business Desktop PC runs nearly three times faster than your old PC, while using half the electricity.
