    there should be a Quick Start guide from HP, no? I've never bought a laptop that doesn't include such a thing.

    I don't have the dv1000, but if you're a basic user and don't want to tweak the OS and machine for performance, just accept all of the defaults which means plug the laptop in and turn it on. There's really nothing else to it!

    I would charge it to 100% and there is nothing for you to install to get the computer working. Everything you need for the computer to run will already be installed. Just charge the battery and turn it on and you are good to go!

    You may want to remove some programs already installed on it that will only slow down your PC.

    What kind of case or sleeve do you use for your notebook (DV1000)?

    Actually, I don't own one right now but am planning on getting one once I accumulate some more funds for me purchase. I've actually used my friend's a little bit and fell in love with it and plan on buying one soon.

    There is a lot of junk preinstalled on this thing! That is the one plus of Gateway...Fairly clean harddrives!
