    This doesn't work... none of these do.. All i get is this: The coupon entered does not apply to the items in your shopping cart. Please review the coupon for products included in this offer.

    Make sure there is no space behind the coupon for the dv7tqe. I just tried all the codes again and it seemed to work fine, so I'm not sure what the problem could be. The coupon doesn't expire till the 29th and I don't believe it has reached its redemption limit yet too.

    Would the discrete graphics in this Model be able to play Battlefield 3 with moderately high settings?

    Yes I believe the Radeon HD 6770M (could also be a 7690M) in the dv7 will run BF3 at mid-high settings at native resolution without too much problem. I know we list the 2GB model of the GPU but you probably don't need it as the extra RAM won't do much in this particular range of graphics card. I'd personally remove the $75 2GB video card option, and spend another $20 for the 7200 rpm hard drive. Much better performance for the buck.

    Careful! There is some issue with HP where we are not sure if the 1gb card is still the 6770m/7690m or the much weaker 6490m card. :-/

    Ahmed, good tips and HP finally was able to name the GPUs thanks to the AMD embargo lift. Lower end model is the 7470M (rebranded 6490M) and higher end models are the 7690M (rebranded 6770M). Meh all around but now we know.

    Hot Black Friday price on the HP dv7t quad edition laptop with the 2GB Radeon HD 6770M, plenty fast for Skyrim thanks to the i7-2670QM quad-core 2nd Gen (don't expect super high settings though). Free 8GB of RAM plus a free Blu-ray writer. All for slightly over $834 with free shipping.

    HP introduced a newer config option for the high-end model of the dv7t quad edition, now equipped with a TWO gigabyte Radeon HD 6770M. You'll now also get a faster Core i7-2720QM in this config, which runs at 2.2 Ghz (vs the slower 2.0Ghz 2630QM).

    Latest HP dv7t quad coupon matches previous lowest ever price, which was very limited-time during Black Friday weekend. You can now get this high-performance 17-inch laptop with a quad-core 2nd Gen i7 for $800 flat. We highly recommend upgrading to the 1080p display if your budget fit the bill.

    Giant coupon code for a giant 1080p dv7t laptop. HP's crazy good coupons from earlier this week are dead save this one monster $500 off $1399+ coupon. For a dv7t with 1080p screen this is the best price ever by $38. Also consider that earlier this week HP gave the dv7 Quad Edition a free CPU upgrade to Core i7-2670QM (from i7-2630QM).

    Decent cheap price on the HP dv7t quad-core i7 with the very nice 6770M GPU. Free Blu-ray player so you can experience one hour battery life on this behemoth desktop replacing laptop (just kidding battery life is a bit better than that). If you need a laptop with decent screen real estate and horsepower, the popular dv7 is always a good fit.

    Best price ever for this 17.3-inch supersized laptop from HP. This week HP gave it the newer Core i3-2330 cpu (from Core i3-2310M) which makes it a really decent mid ranged laptop. More importantly this laptop is $50 cheaper than it ever was w/ the i3-2310M chip. For those who want a huge laptop screen but don't need to play the newest games this is a great value. The coupon code making this deal will expire Oct. 19.

    The trick is to watch VERY closely when putting your order in. The first time I got to the end and HP didn't count the coupon code - they said they had a better price - NOT. I put the info back in and it was accepted. Good advice when putting any order in I guess. Just passed your site on to another co-worker.

    Lowest price for the dv7t Core i5 config with Blu-ray. Generally this configuration will cost you about $50 to $75 more but new dv7t coupon makes the add-on option a nearly break-even deal.

    Really good value for 17.3-inch HP dv7t laptop. It's $13 less than the previous best price from April and $83 cheaper than HP usually sells for after coupon code. As an extra bonus HP gave it a free Blu-ray player upgrade (normally an extra $100).

Everything You Want to Know on the HP DV7t Series

HP's dv7t series of laptops are designed as a desktop replacement for situations where you need a real workhorse. With a 17.3" inch widescreen display it has enough screen real estate to make you feel at home away from home. With a wide range of upgrades available the dv7t can suite almost any need; from a powerful gaming rig to a workstation away from home the dv7t can deliver the performance you need. It’s a bit on the heavier side which is to be expected with a big laptop like this, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a long plane ride.

Update on the current dv7tqe coupon codes: The new 30% off coupons are percentage based and are currently better than the usual dollar amount coupons if you're wanting to add some big upgrades, like the higher-end Core i7-2720QM or Core i7-2820QM Sandy Bridge processors (vs the base i7-2630QM). Those faster clocked CPU usually cost $200 and $400 to upgrade to, but with this dv7t Quad coupon they'd only add $144 and $288 to the overall cost because of the 30% savings.

HP dv7t Quad Edition (aka dv7tqe)

With the dv7t Quad Edition you get the added benefit of a quad core processor, Intel’s flagship the i7. This turns your laptop into a true workstation replacement with the power of serious multitasking. The added speed is sure to hurt battery life though, so that is a good thing to keep in mind when exploring this upgrade. The quad core is sure to suck more power than its little brothers.

The graphics card performance in this model is not at serious gamer level, but still more than adequate if you don’t plan on playing the very latest releases on full settings. With the base Radeon HD 6490M graphics card you should have enough power to play most new games at medium settings with good playability. Springing for the Radeon HD 6770M (at times only a $25 upgrade) provides a nice upgrade at a very good price. Games like Crysis and Warcraft 2 should play very well with this higher option graphics card.

In addition to a beefier processor and better graphics options the Quad Edition throws in some nice extras like Beats Audio sound processor for improved sound quality and clarity as well as a brushed metal case.

HP dv7t Select Edition

An older model of the dv7t series that was recently discontinued by HP the Select Edition incorporated most of the higher end features of the base model such as the Intel i5 with some of the perks of the Quad Edition such as the Beats Audio sound processor and the brushed metal finish.

HP dv7t Base Model

The dv7t is HP’s base model 17” laptop. It comes standard with integrated graphics and fair processing power for the average users. With the base Intel i3 processor the laptop would be well suited for the average user. The Intel i3 lacks the Turbo Boost ability of the Intel i5, but for most everyday users this would not be a large factor. If you’re looking at doing a fair bit of multitasking it might be worth it to shell out the extra money for the lowest level Intel i5, but tests have shown the extra Turbo Boost available in the more expensive Intel i5 models to be fairly in-effective in practical use.

The graphics offering on the dv7t are good for the casual gamer or viewing HD video. Integrated Intel HD Graphics should let you play most newer games on lowest settings with moderate performance, but if you are looking at more graphically intense games like Crysis or Starcraft 2 it would be well worth the extra money to upgrade to discrete graphics. Upgrading to the Radeon HD 5470 should allow you to get into the newer releases if you’re alright running them on low whereas the Radeon HD 5650 should let you bump the settings up to medium-high range with newer games.

The Bottom Line

For someone who wants the screen real estate to do productivity work on their laptop and wants to play the newest gaming releases with modest settings, the dv7 will be a good fit. With both models (dv7tqe and dv7t) coming standard with 6GB of memory you should be equipped with more than enough memory for all but the biggest power users without having to pay extra. If you don't need the bigger screen though, you might want to consider exploring the HP dv6 for better portability because it is equipped with many of the same specifications in a smaller 15.6-inch format.
