    I'm interesting in buying an HP dv9000t for about as cheap as I can get it. I'm wondering if anyone knows of reliable places which to buy one? I've been looking at uBid and the prices seem decent, but I want your input too. Also, what do you guys think of the laptop. My HP dv4000 recently died on me and I was hoping that the dv9000t wouldn't be so prone to failure (previous laptop was all plastic). Anyone have pictures of their own? Thanks!

    Oh, and here's my configuration right now:

    Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
    Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo T2250 (1.73 GHz/2MB L2Cache)
    17.0" WSXGA+ BrightView Widescreen (1680x1050)
    256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7600
    HP Imprint Finish + Microphone
    512MB DDR2 System Memory (1 Dimm)
    FREE Upgrade from 80GB 5400RPM to 120GB 5400RPM!!
    Super Multi 8X DVD+/-R/RW w/Double Layer Support
    Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
    No TV Tuner w/remote control
    8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
    Microsoft(R) Works 8.0

    $1,071.99 after APP discount

    Is that a quote from hpshopping.com? Have you tried configuring one from Costco.com? Costco prices are slightly cheaper than HP.

    The HP Pavilion dv9000t is a good desktop replacement notebook. It was reviewed recently on this website. You can find pictures in the review. Here's the link.

    Costco.com price is $70 more expensive. The HP APP discount is what makes it cheaper from HP.

    OK. Then, you probably have the best price.
