    In the details section is says windows 7 professional.

    Also the screen is larger than the one DDD listed so it will be better on your aging eyes
    And the one X listed is cheaper than the one DDD listed since you are a tightwad

    I just got a HP ProBook 4530s last week. Sounds like it meets your criteria, with the exception of the processor - mine is an i3. I don't know what all that means - just wanted to sound nerdy for a minute. I know it's 64bit somethin' or another.

    I saw the packing slip and the company paid $529ish for it.

    That help?
    I don't need my name in the marquee lights....

    We buy 15 to 20 4530's every few weeks. Great laptops.

    Clarify the 64 bit part... We run nothing but 64 bit now. It can run 32 bit applications.
