I have the same HP as Pete and I love it. Light as a feather (2.2 lbs.) with a great keyboard. Upgrading to 2 GB of RAM cost $20 and took about 30 seconds...no exaggeration. Just be aware that the three-cell battery on this baby only puts out about 2.5 hours of power, which for me is no problem but YMMV. -- Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.
