    What's the deal with HP CPU options? They only go up to the 2ghz models... That's the only think holding me back from a 2500..

    Thanks

    Well, unless you want to cook eggs on your laptop, those are the best options.

    2GHZ Dual core is hardly slow.

    Schlotkins,

    These guys are right. There comes a point where the cooling capacity reaches it's capacity for a desired battery life and case design capability. HP could ramp up to hotter desktop-like processing power, but it wouldn't fit the marketing characteristics the series is outlined for. You will need to select something from their business line, or wait for a new consumer series.
