Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I am in interested in buying the HP dv6885se from Best buy and would like to know if it is worth it? Also how much longer will it be available? Looking to purchaese in Febuary. It will be mainly used for school, internet, keeping track of financial things and some gaming. Besides the system memory which can be upgraded can I also upgrade the hard drive, graphics card, video memory if need be? Is the graphic card, processor, processor speed and wireless networking that come with the computer any good? Do I have to buy the extended accidental drop warrenty from HP before or after I buy the computer? Specs are listed below. Thank you!
