    I haven't seen anything about the performance of the dual-core Neo processor now available in this notebook (L625, 1.6GHz, 1MB L2.) Has anyone bought one of these units, and would you be willing to share benchmark/real world performance results?

    Also, HP has some nice incentives on the dv2 right now-- an upgrade to 4GB of RAM was only $25, and upgrades to the Radeon 3410 and 320GB HDD were free. HP only allows configuration with the discrete graphics when you buy the dual-core proc and Vista Home Premium, though. Four years of LoJack is going for $50 on HP's website, too. I was able to configure a top-of-the-line dv2 for about $850.
