The Five HP Computers with Windows 7 You Can Buy Today


Let's face it, not everyone wants to learn a new OS every time they buy a new PC. When it comes to built-for-Touch Windows 8, if you're not buying a new 'Touch' laptop, why would you want to go through whole learning process after you've finally gotten comfortable with Windows 7? Well, that's what HP must be thinking with their latest move, by introducing five new Windows 7 configured PC's.


Call it marketing gimmick or giving the consumers what they wanted, the latest Windows 7 PC 'back by popular demand' from HP are a good choice for those that have tried a Windows 8 equipped computer and promptly returned it (Metro after all just doesn't make too much sense on a non-touch device).


While the five Windows 7 powered HP computers configuration below are brand new, they can still take advantage of existing HP coupon codes - making this using an 'old' OS promotion extra enticing. PC's with a list price of $799.99 or more can use coupon code PC71926 for 15% off. PC's below the $799.99 threshold can use coupon SAVE15HP for $15 off, and the $15 off coupon stacks on top of any existing instant savings discounts. All are customizable, and can be given greater specs if the buyer desires.

Need a big screen TV for the big game? With the February 2nd Superbowl date drawing near, it's time to decide whether to get the new TV now or wait for the next football season. Probably the biggest factors are price and screen size, and based on those considerations, this 60-inch Sharp might make buying now worthwhile. Today Best Buy dropped from $999.99 down to $749.99 with your choice of free shipping to home or free store pickup. It's actually the lowest they or anyone else has sold this unit for by $50. When you realize this is in brand new condition and other retailers sell the same TV as a refurbished unit for $900, the price point seems even more solid.


If you're in need of a new headset or mouse on the cheap, look no further than Amazon's Logitech PC Peripherals sale. Get up to 63% off gaming mice (mouses?), keyboards, speakers, and more. The Logitech G430 Gaming headset is a particularly good deal, now at its lowest price ever by $5.


If you're in the market for a big screen Touch laptop, you really should consider the premium Inspiron 17 7000 series. It's 17.3 inches in size, includes a number pad on the keyboard, and has a MacBook Pro-like design. Buying a Core i7 version on Dell Home would set you back a full $1,049.99, but today a reputable eBay sellerput a like-new unit of the Inspiron 17 up for only $895 - the lowest price ever seen by $35.


GAMING DEALS

Today we found quite a few good gaming deals, but none take the cake more than the Sleeping Dogs Pack for PC download. Today GMG gave the game a 75% off instant discount followed up by a 25% off coupon, dropping the price from $65 to $12.18. Included in the pack is the base Sleeping Dogs game along with all its many DLC packs.

RoboCop Gets A Workout In A New Clip

There are few movies that better define the '80s, or rather '80s excess, better than RoboCop. And, as such, everybody's been wondering just how the action will come together. Hence, this new clip.


RoboCop Versus RoboCops

The clip is a set-up for a field test. Alex Murphy, with his new cybernetic body and his less-than-joyful attitude towards his new situation in life, has to gun down a lot of robots while avoiding getting shot himself. Needless to say, there's a little more to it overall than just a test run of his systems, although Alex himself doesn't know it.


Robophobia

If you haven't been following the movie, those robots he's gunning down by the dozens are the little brothers of the ED-209, which you probably remember from the original. It turns out that, in the future, we've refined robot soldiers to such a point that we tend to use them to solve all of our problems overseas, especially when it comes to policing the populace that may kind of, you know, want Americans to leave and let them hold their own elections. They also have a tendency to, uh, malfunction.


Needless to say, though, that's taking a backseat to profit; OCP wants to have robocops on every street corner in America, whether that's actually safe or not... and that's where RoboCop comes in.


The Future Of Law Enforcement

Honestly, the movie's overall theme and pointed question about whether we should leave anything solely in the hands of robots is pretty timely, and we'll be curious to see how it pulls it off. OK, we're also curious to see how many robots he gets to shoot in the face and whether he'll put a Desert Eagle round in a rapist's crotch. Probably not: This is the twenty-first century. We'll find out this Valentine's Day.

4 Cars That Stole Autosport International 2014 (list)

Below is quick breakdown of the cars that stole everyone's attention at Autosport International 2014 held at Birmingham NEC, United Kingdom.


1. Zenos E10

First up the Zenos E10. This is a brand new car that hasn't even seen a stretch of tarmac yet, but I love it! The E10 comes with a 200bhp, normally aspirated, 2.0-liter engine driving the rear wheels through a five-speed gearbox. With a kerb weight of 650kg that equates to over 300bhp per tonne, 0-62 in a claimed 4.5 seconds, and a top speed of 135mph. Zenos are set to ship a lot of these over the coming years.


2. Caterham AeroSeven Concept

The Caterham AeroSeven concept car is the first ever Caterham model to have traction control, and will reach 60mph in under 4 seconds. The Modern Caterham is powered by a 237bhp engine with a 6 speed manual gearbox. It is rumoured that they car may make it to production towards autumn in 2014. I hope so, as it looks gorgeous.


3. Oakley Design Lamborghini Aventador

If you want an Avantador but are desperate for something a little different, then Oakley Design is the way to go. This car is that popular you couldn't get anywhere near it during the Autosport event as it was constantly surrounded by people. Oakley Design claim the figures are around 760bhp with 745Nm (550 lb/ft) of torque. It's an insane looking car with a crazy amount of power, needless to say I didn't ask the price!


4. Oakley Design Ferrari FF

Here we have the jaw dropping Ferrari FF V12. As if it wasn't powerful enough for you in the first place Oakley Design added around 20 or 30bhp to the 6.3-liter V12 engine which is now putting out around 660bhp.


The custom exterior carbon fibre design pack included a new splitter for the front bumper, a pair of tight lateral skirts, a large rear diffuser and a small roof spoiler. This FF is customized up to its eye balls and attracted boat loads of attention at Autosport International 2014.
