Earlier today we saw the Vaio AW Series roll out, and now HP is jumping on the 18-inch hype with the HDX 18T.  It’s rocks an Intel Core2 Duo processor (2.2 – 2.5Ghz), 18.4-inch LCD (1920×1080), 2-4GB of DDR2 RAM, 512MB Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT, 250-640GB hard drive(s), webcam, fingerprint reader, WiFi, Bluetooth, Blu-ray ROM and DVD burner, TV Tuner, and 8-cell battery.  It’s a bit fatter than the AW series, though, weighing in at 8.94lbs.

The HP HDX 18T starts at $1,550 and should ship October 14th.

Dubbed the ‘Super Notebook’ by Sony, the Vaio AW series is loaded with all the goodies to negate a desktop purchase.  There’s two models, the AW170Y/Q ($3,300) and AW120J/H ($1,800), and expect them to ship 10/2. Both models sport a Blu-ray burner, 18.4-inch LCD with LED backlight, 4GB of RAM and Nvidia graphics support.  Back breakers they are, weighing in at over 8lbs.
