    I think HPs offer good value, but they are not ThinkPads.

    Well, Thinkpads cost a lot more, so HP's have excellent quality for the price you pay. I don't own a DV1000, I wanted one badly, but I got a DV4000 in the end because there was a great deal on it.

    I've tried out countless DV1000's at computer stores. I have to say it is one of the sexiest notebooks I've seen, very sleek, stylish and professional. But it looks a bit flimsy to be overall and I'd be afraid of dropping it.

    What kind of battery life are you getting on your machine?

    I have had mine for about 3 weeks now and think it's a great notebook for the price. I actually wrote a review that should be up in a few days.
