A Laptop that just won't quit. by Ynot3363 on newegg.com Jan 13, 2012

Great laptop for price by Mudguru on shopping.hp.com Mar 27, 2011
Just got it out of the box, since the software I use at work runs on XP had to do a downgrade, also increase RAM memory to 6GIG, now it flies, this is my second HP and they are getting better.
