    Hey guys, I recently paid $865 (incl. tax) for a DV1000 Celeron M 1.5 ghz notebook with:

    # Intel ® Celeron ® M Processor 370 1.5GHz
    # 512MB 333MHz DDR System Memory (2 Dimm) Max Supported 2048MB
    # 60GB 4200 Hard Drive
    # DVD±R/RW and CD-RW Combo Drive with Double Layer Support
    # 14.0" WXGA High-Definition* BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 768) Display

    In addition, there's a $50 rebate making it $815 total. I have 2 questions:
    1. Is there is a battery life comparison between the DV1000 Celeron-M model and the DV1000 Pentium-M model? I know everyone recommends Pentium M, but has anyone actually tried the Celeron M?
    2. I have 14 days from the invoice to return this. Do you guys think HPShopping will have any better deals in August?
