    I remember seeing complaints on the HP website about the wireless card in the dv6000t's, dv6500t's and dv9000t's going bad after about a year. Does anyone know if this is a problem with the dv9500t's, and thus with the dv9700t's?
    Here are links to the sites with info about it: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Berlind/?p=853

    I think that the wireless problem is mainly with the AMD CPU and Motherboard combo, but I'm not sure whether it spans across their models, or just the dv6xxx series. I'm sure other people here know, but I will look into it as well.

    OK, thanks for your help. I guess I'll find out in about 8-9 months ;)
