Opinion:
I bought this notebook on recommendation from another heavy user of notebooks. The price was $875 USD (Sept. 2006). Came with 2GB RAM and 120 GB HDD. I was happy with it, except that HP Compaq Recovery partition is a waste of space (delete it), and then 2 months after purchasing it I started having problems. HP Canada was very reluctant to help and made repairs virtually impossible for me. HP Canada told me the "international 1 year warranty" does not apply outside Canada! While on business in Australia, I contacted HP Australia....they not only took full responsibly for the repairs, but lived up to the international warranty by replacing the faulty RAM (shipped in from Singapore). I give HP Canada a 100% thumbs down on service. HP Australia...you might be down under but you have the tops in service. Overall, a good notebook for a light user.
