    After a long time of searching I finally decided to get the HPdv9000t. When I finally get it (I still have to order) what are some good things to do with it? I mean cleaning up all the bloatware, are there any settings for making it even faster (specially at start-up). Stuff like that. The Do's and Don'ts for the dv9000t
    Any help will be very much appreciated!!! :)

    I made a recovery disc first. Then I removed Norton Virus, HP Care something, HP games, Office trial, and other softwares I don't need and everything in the start-up folder. I gain about 2gb of space and it starts-up considerably faster.

    How to Optimise a Notebook Computer

    I started by doing that with my DV6000z
    Remove the bloatware, DL an Anti-virus and Anti-Spyware (AVG/Spybot/Ad-aware)
    And made the recovery discs, basically like Davidt1 said =)
