It's a factory refurb in an HP-sealed box, $794, all in:

HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 Select Edition 15.6-Inch Entertainment Notebook PC

It's got everything I needed, plus a few extras, e.g. back-lit keyboard and 1920 x 1080 display. I probably wont' drop an SSD in, given that the HD seems pretty efficient. This puppy is actually more powerful than my home desktop, which is 1.6 GHz Intel Quad-Core. No docking station, but I'll get this:

I've got a USB 2.0 docking station I've been using with an old Netbook running Win8 and it has no problem driving (and keeping up with) an HD display.
