<p>ok so i know i posted other annoying threads asking for help with laptops and about the dell d610 and 600m.</p>

<p>but i decided to get the hp dv1000. link with great pics <a href="http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2106%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2106&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>it's cheaper than ibm, i've heard a bunch of bad things about dell, cheaper than toshiba, and i just don't trust acer or alienware or acertec (which all are the same price or more too).</p>

<p>besides specs, the dv1000 has some really convenient buttons (volume control, media control, on/off wireless...) below the screen and really nice looking neon blue lights with a slim design and widescreen. as far as looks it beat all the others hands down. but this wasn't my deciding factor, so don't worry.</p>

<p>so what are your opinions on it? is it a good laptop? i haven't ordered yet but i will by the end of this week.</p>

<p>Avoid HP like the plague.</p>

<p>um...ok? any LEGITIMATE advice or reasons?</p>

<p>i find it annoying when people just say "dell sucks" or "hp is horrible" and give no reasons. makes the statement less credible.</p>
