    Thanks!

    The removable optical drive really surprised me. I'm not finished reading it, though.

    Interesting. I actually like the old design better. I'm not sure why they moved the audio jacks off center. And I'm not a fan of the metallic silver.

    I dunno, I kind of like the Iron Mesh from the pics.

    I definitely like the e-sata port, but the exclusion of firewire is a bit odd.

    hey, you guys should see it yourself and comment on the design , it is really cool. I love its look and I don't like this review no mentioning about the HDD protection with shock absober and 3d motion sesnsor, which makes it so different from other consumer 13.3 inchers from Dell, Toshiba and Sony.

    Hello! Even I would like to know about the battery life of HP Pavilion dv 3000 and if this notebook gets heated after using it for a long time?

    B'coz, my dialy usage of desktop computer is for about 7 - 8 hrs a day and the same would be for this notebook dv 3000, so e'm more eager to know about it.
