    Hi everyone,
    I'm thinking of buying a hp dv4275ea and I have a few questions for people who already have a dv4000:

    -The dv4275ea has a 100Gb hard drive, is this a 4200rpm or a 5400rpm drive?
    -The model that I have seen in a local shop has a keyboard with a lot of flex especially when you press in the middle on the left side. Is this because it's a display model as in the reviews people have said that the keyboard of the dv4000 feels sturdy and has very little flex?
    -Does the dv4275ea come with DDR2 533 or DDR2 400?
    -Does dv4000 with a radeon x700 heat up a lot? Is the fan noisy?

    Thanks

    I think the hp dv4275ea sold in Europe. In the U.S. the 100 gig is 4200 RPM. The 80 is the biggest offered in the Dv4000 with a 5400 RPM. My Dv4000 has no noticable flex in the keyboard, I think the keyboard is among the good features of the machine. My machine has DDR2- 533 RAM. I'm typing with the machine on my bear legs with no discomfort. PC Wizard shoes my Processor to be at 47 C and HD 39 C. The fan is not noisy

    One more question: is there a windows cd with it or is there a hidden partition?
