I just recently purchase a HP dv8135n from Bestbuy. It has the AMD Turion 64 cpu, 1g ram, dual 100g hard drives and Light Scribe DVD and a full size keyboard. I also have a HP desktop. This laptop replaces my HP ze5700 laptop which was a good machine, just not big enough for the graphics I run. When purchasing a laptop you should always beef up the ram if you want to get the speed and 512 is just not enough. I purchase my ram thru
http://www.crucial.com/ and save over half of what the retail stores or computer companies charge. I also purchased my support with Bestbuy Geeks, since HP support sucks. BTW, depending on what time you call any big company support, that outsources, makes a difference on what country your calling. I wrote the pres. of HP and complained about not talking with an English speaking tech and he answered thru another tech that they have support in all the major cities thru- out the world and if I call after early in the day I probably will get the USA or Canada.
