“The touchpad design mirrors the X-Wing Star Fighter Guidance System and the red backlit keyboard completes the dark-side design”, says HP. This Windows 10 notebook is not only packed with impressive hardware that should make R2-D2 a little jealous, but exclusive Star Wars goodies like a special exterior, screen savers, rare wallpapers, concept art, and more.

It all starts with the packaging. Darth Vader is prominently displayed on the cover as well, with an image of Stormtroopers and the Death Star near the keyboard.
Before even seeing the laptop, HP reveals its eye for detail in the foam inserts surrounding the notebook, which are shaped into an Imperial Starfighter. If you’re into Star Wars (and of course you are), you won’t want to throw the packaging away.
On the outside, the notebook is dressed in a “battle-worn” distressed design with the words “Galactic Empire” written in Aurebesh font unique to Star Wars.
October 19th may seem like a random date, but it’s also happens to match previous rumors suggesting that’s the date advance tickets will go on sale. I don’t feel like they are just milking me for more money. Another nod to Star Wars includes replacing the Recycle Bin with a Death Star icon – not destroyed when empty and destroyed when full. Aurebesh is the writing system within the fictional world of the franchise. Content includes extraordinary behind-the-scenes images, storyboards, artwork, classic photos, set and costume designs, and audio selections. Children who come dressed as their favourite Star Wars character will be in to win DK’s new book Star Wars Absolutely Everything You Need To Know.

I never thought I would get sucked into the “Toys-to-Life” craze of games like “Skylanders” or “Disney Infinity” but when I heard the new “Disney Infinity 3.0” was going to introduce “Star Wars” it caught my attention and made me incredibly excited, and made my inner hoarder very scared. It turns out, that while you can configure this with discrete graphics, it’s more or less a mainstream notebook with an extremely nerdy facade. The standard version will have a sixth-gen i5 processor which can be upgraded to an i7.
