I bought an H-P dv1000 and have been very happy with it. It does everything
I need it to do, and then some. It has a wide screen format, which is very
handy for viewing two applications side by side. At just over 3 lbs., it's
easy to tote around.
H-P also sends periodic announcements of driver updates, and I've had no
issues with installing them. I can't vouch for their tech support, since
I've had no reason to contact them (yet) in the six months I've had it.
Best,
Marci
