Starting at $699, the
HP Special Edition Star Wars Laptop a battle-worn, distressed design, and below the touchpad, a background image of an X-Wing guidance system readout (like the one Luke Skywalker turns off while traversing the Death Star trenches). On the hard drive, there is a collection of images and assets from the 40-year history of Star Wars, including a databank of 1,100 images, spanning 40-years of Star Wars, as well as, Windows themes, icons and sounds. (for example, the recycle bin has a Death Star icon).
"
The Star Wars system has a 1,920x1,080 15.6-inch display, with touch as an option. Processors are from Intel's current sixth-generation Core i5 and Core i7 family. RAM can go up to 12GB and storage up to 2TB of HDD space. Like other 2015 HP laptops, the speakers carry a Bang & Olufsen logo, which means the Danish audio company provided audio-tuning feedback on HP's in-house designs.
This isn't a gaming system (which is a bit of an odd choice), but you can add some midlevel optional graphics to it, topping out at the Nvidia GeForce 940M GPU. That's good enough for low-to-medium settings for most current games, but not what you'll want for something like the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront game."
Preorders begin October 8th, shipping November 8th, with international price and availability details to follow.
