Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 incorporates many of Adobe Photoshop’s tools and features, but is designed to be easier to use and learn. It’s also just a fraction of the price of the professional image editing software.

This copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 can be installed on both Macs and PCs.

Black Friday: Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for $49.99 at Amazon.com is a post by Xavier Lanier from Notebooks.com.

The Sony BDV-E370 has an MSRP of $399.99. Amazon previously had it on sale for just $239. As part of its Gold Box promotion, Amazon is taking an additional $40 off for a total of $160.99 or 40% in savings.

In order to view 3D content you’ll need to purchase 3D glasses (sold separately by Sony resellers) as well as 3D content. The most logical choice here would be to pick up a couple of 3D Blu-ray disc titles.

The Sony BDV-E370 comes with the technology necessary to decode Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby TureHD and Dolby Pro Logic II. The technology allows viewers to hear the audio tracks of movies how the director intended.

At this price, don’t expect to get anything close to audiophile quality sound. However, this system is more than capable of complimenting your HDTV experience.  Virtually any 5.1 home theater in a box system is better than the tiny speakers that are inside of your HDTV.

Keep in mind, some lines have already formed and if you are going to be out in the elements you’ll want a tent, food, someone to watch your spot during bathroom breaks and a coat like the ScotteVest Revolution Plus Jacket with 26 pockets for all your Black Friday gear.

If you are really set on getting something on Black Friday from places like Best Buy or Walmart you should kiss Thanksgiving goodbye and get ready to line up around noon on Thursday, at the earliest. Of course, you can always look for online deals, but retailers don’t always announce when the online sales start.

Black Friday Guide: When do the Stores Open on Black Friday? is a post by Josh Smith from Notebooks.com.

The Pavilion DV6 line is an HP’s mainstream consumer entertainment notebook. It balances portability, performance and styling. These are good workhorse laptops with a  battery rated to run at the the most 4 hours.

This laptop comes with an AMD Phenom II Triple-Core Mobile Processor N830, running at 2.1GHz. It also has 4 GB DDR3 with a max of 8GB supported. The hard drive is a fast 320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive.

The 15.6” HP BrightView LED Display has a pretty average resolution of 1366 x 768 powered by an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics with 128MB display memory. That is bare minimum HD capable of 720p video.

All of that means this is not a low-powered computer near the netbook quality, like some of the Black Friday deals we’ve seen. It should handle most tasks the average user will throw at it, including the basics like Internet, email and document creation. But it will do a lot more with decent enough graphics to play some video games, of course watch DVDs or streaming HD video, and some video/image editing. At only 3-4 hours of battery life don’t get too far from a power outlet.

It has an 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support and Dolby Advanced Audio with Altec Lansing speakers. So firing up a movie in the dorm room or around the house will be an enjoyable experience.

This model has the HP Imprint finish with the link design in Argento. It is a brushed aluminum finish, which is a textured and not just a smooth piece of fingerprint magnet plastic. Throw in an HP TrueVision Webcam, integrated digital microphone, 5-in-1 integrated card reader, and this has all you need for Skype and video chat as well as importing digital photos and videos.

To get on the Internet or a home network it has a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN  port as well as wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi.

There are 4 USB2.0 ports. The 4th port is also a shared eSATA port. There is an HDMI for hooking up to an HD TV for movie watching or doing presentations. Other ports and connectors include a VGA, headphone-out and microphone-in.

An interesting feature is the fingerprint scanner. It will let you log into not only the system, but also favorite web sites with just a swipe of your finger.

There have been a number of these HP DV6 laptops on Black Friday lists from other stores. For example Best Buy has one for about just $25 less with an Intel Core i3 processor and the same memory but slightly more hard drive space. However, Best Buy’s deal will require you to get in line. Also BJ’s Wholesale Club has one for the same price as the Best Buy deal. In fact the one at BJ’s is nearly identical except for the processor is not as fast as the Amazon deal. At only $25 we say go with the Amazon deal, especially over the one at BJ’s. Fair warning; this one has some mixed reviews on Amazon.

Below is an overview of the various Pavilion notebooks from HP. The DV6 is one of those shown.
