    I'm going to be purchasing a dv9000t soon and i was wondering how I would know if I am paying monthly for the laptop or if i just purchased the laptop at full price. In this case i would like to be paying monthly for it. Thanks.

    How will you be paying for it? If you pay with a credit card, then you would be paying the credit card off monthly.

    Hey guys. Not to be off topic, but my stomach is rumbling. Do I put food in it or is there something else I have to do to get it to stop?

    Hey.. another "off-topic" post here...

    Some credit card DOUBLE the warranty... You're NOT going to get that option, if you select a option? at checkout to pay monthy. (I'm assuming the OP is buying direct thru HP?

    If so, bad move.... COSTCO, either in store or via the web www.costco.com is a much better choice.


    HP=21 day return window
    COSTCO =180 day return window

    Here's some guys who wish they'd bought from Costco:

    Here's how to return to Costco, so HP gets charged back the loss on DEFECTIVE items... Like in the above thread.
