To further support the cause, AMD and HP plan to donate notebooks for use in Lance Armstrong Foundation-funded cancer survivorship centers throughout the United States. In addition, the two companies are inviting PC buyers to join the battle against cancer by matching or exceeding the $50 per unit that goes to the foundation.

[Blogs.pcworld.com] PC World's Techlog: But the best thing about this notebook is the fact that HP will give $50 from each sale to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

HP has created celebrity-themed products before, but this is the first one with a charitable aspect--and it, like Lance, is a class act.
