    hi, i noticed that windows XP recovery dvds come now with some satellite pro laptops
    i need to ask if anyone tried them
    this is very important to me , i will abandon a HP dv5-1135 (same specs , strongest video card 9600m gt , cheaper , longer battery life) for a A300-1NT just for this recovery dvd thing .......
    i need to know if every thing thing works , and i mean every single option
    thank you

    why would you abandon the DV5 for that? the HP laptops you can burn your own recovery disk, and if you order with the Vista Buisness option, included in the box you will get a full on Windows XP disk, and Driver CD.
