To expand your search on reviews, parts, etc remember the dv2188ea = dv2000t

The dv2xxxx series being divided in the (t) machine (Intel)... and the (z) series machines, AMD cpu'd... AMd cpu'd machine being a dv2000z.

On the battery... remember that a li-ion battery degrades from moment of mfg, so you don't want to have a battery just sitting around...if you're not going to be using it. On the price, it should be that a larger battery, OR extra battery is MUCH cheaper if purchased at the same time...

PS: the specs on the machine lok decent.... can't tell you if the price looks ok though as it's not in US dollars and each market bears it's own price..

Nice that it's showing a 2 year gaurantee.... standard at least in the USA is 1 year...
