Almost 3 years ago we bought a HP Pavillion DV9208nr laptop at Best Buy, it was a 17" widescreen with dual core AMD 1.6 GHz Turion and 120GB HD. We bought the 2 year warranty which doesn't go into affect until the factory 1 year warranty expires. We've had to send it off a couple times, first time was our fault, the kids sit in my recliner with it and pull it around when it's plugged in and broke the plug off the motherboard, so it went in. I'm assuming this is the start of the problems because I'm assumign they put in a reman motherboard as opposed to a new one. The second time was due to the onboard wireless card not working, then a month ago, it would not turn on. They sent it off, it came back, they turned it on and the wireless wouldn't work, so they sent it back. Since it's been back 4 times, they're replacing the laptop with a brand new one :banana: so they're replacing it with a HP Pavillion dv7-3065dx which has a 17" widescreen dual core AMD Turion 2.4 GHz and a 500GB HD. and it'll have Windows 7, so I'm gonna buy the 2 year warranty on this one as well and I'll need new virus software, what do I get?

I would try it at the house, but my Dell XPS420 toasted the hard drive last night less than two months after the warranty expired!:angry:

So, How is Win 7? I haven't played much with it.

I actually ended up going to the dark side, and got a Mac.

Todd T, here is what I used to speed my XP Home Addition up. Most I adjusted, I just put to "Manual" instead of Disable. Made a huge improvement in the speed of mine. Of course mine is a PC not a Laptop, but may still comply.
