A:AnswerNot sure but I believe they are the exact same machine but with a different model number sold only at BestBuy. In that way BestBuy doesn't have to honor a price match guarantee if the unit sold directly by HP goes on sale (which it happens to be on sale right now).
A:AnswerA leatherette folio came with mine. The box it came in is pretty big. Inside there's a cardboard folder for the leatherette folio, and another fully wrapped box with the laptop, held by foam padding.
A:AnswerThe price is around the same as a macbook pro. And it does more. It is a beautiful machine that came from HP of all places! I bought another one this january. Excellent purchase!
A:AnswerNO, It does not come with one. And Best Buy does not sell the HP stylus that works with it. Don't buy a generic stylus. Use HP only if you want to see amazing performance.
