My Hewlett-Packard zd7380us is for sale. This is one of those enormous (17.0-inches WSXGA+ High-Definition BrightView Widescreen wide viewing angle (1680 x 1050) Display) home theatre PC notebooks. Really, I mean, it's a desktop replacement. The thing weighs a ton, but it's good at what it does.

The one dead pixel - http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j41/vco_photos/zd7380us/deadpixel.jpg
Specifications are the same as listed, with the following caveats:
- The hard drive has been replaced with a 120GB Samsung drive. This is the old hard drive out of my other notebook. It works well, and shows no signs of failing any time soon.
- There is a single dead pixel. It is stuck green. Sorry. Pictures show this and its location - in a 1680 x 1050 display, it's not terribly noticeable, but it is there.
- If there was a remote or TV tuner dongle with this notebook originally, I do not have it. I never did. Fortunately, USB TV tuners aren't prohibitively expensive.
It does come loaded with a copy of Windows XP Media Center Edition. It is fully updated, and the COA for this installation is on the bottom of the notebook. As I do not possess the original media, if you desire, I will supply you with a backup copy of both discs of an OEM version of XP Media Center edition.
Windows XP is legitimate, and activates just fine online or by phone.
In a nutshell,
- 17" 1680x1050 widescreen display
- Pentium 4 (Not mobile) Socket 478 Processor @ 3.2 GHz
- 1GB DDR SDRAM @ 333 MHz
- 120GB Hard Drive
- Nvidia GeForce FX Go5700 with 128MB Dedicated video memory
I am asking $300 or best offer. They sell for more than that on eBay, but I figure I'd rather sell locally, it has a dead pixel, and it's missing some of the stuff from the package. Comes with the original AC adapter unit.
In case you were wondering, there is one common issue, in build quality, with these laptops. First, they had a nasty reputation at first for cooking the GPU. This meant a motherboard replacement from HP. Under warranty, this was fine. Outside of warranty, this was prohibitively expensive, to say the least. The last batch of them has proven reliable. This one has been replaced in the past, so you're out of the woods.
If I get any PMs from 17 year old assholes who live in their parents' basement offering me $100 for it because that's all I could possibly get for it because it has a dead pixel and it's not complete and and and I swear to god I will be very upset with you.
Please keep your offers within reason. This is still a capable laptop, and I am not needing to unload it immediately.
PMs, please.
