    Like the title states any one have any reason why i should not purchase a hp pavilion ad8080. I believe the ad8080 is a preconfig zd8000.
    The specs of the one i am considering are
    p4 550 3.4ghz ht 800mb system bus
    1mb l2 cache
    100gb hdd 4200
    dvd +- rw
    1024mb ram
    wxga briteview 1440 X900
    radeon mobility x600 256mb

    i am purchasing for the quality sreen and it will be oming from future shop as i need it asap and once bough in futureshop it will go in a suit case and come to england, so if anyone knows how big the box it comes in with the tv tuner crap that would help.
    Future shop is ideal as i get airmiles and i need this laptop in the couriers hands by monday coming up so onfiging my own is unlikely. Of ocurse if the reason if compelling enough i will not purchase and config one but it will arrive in a couple months so would prefer just to get this model.

    I have bought the ZD8080, which is the exact same specs as that except with windows media center and a dual tv tuner box. So far I am quite pleased with my laptop and I can play HL2 at the highest of all settings without any problems, I can also do video capturing/editing without losing frames. I believe mine was vauge on what exactly it had, like the burner for example is actgually the Dual layer burner and the wireless card has bluetooth capability.
