Just cancelled my first one and order second one with CPU upgraded to AMD Turion(TM) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor ZM-80 (2.1 GHz). This Notebook claims for HD movie but the default CPU (2.0G) is not good enough to support this feature. 3G memory looks big enough but it is the combination of 1G+2G, so you may want to buy a 2G to replace the 1G to get Dual-Channel function works. I don't want to spend to much money on upgrading since this pc does not worth more money.

Just a heads-up, but think about your upgrades before you get or don't get them. The hardware on the TX2500's is locked; that is, you can't swap out their hardware for something you find cheaper.

I tried (and others have tried, too) to replace the standard wireless card with a card with added Bluetooth capability, but the system errors out and will not boot up. Had to put the original card back in to get it to boot up and get a nano receiver for Bluetooth instead.

Just something to think about.

#4 The Puma processor is a next-gen CPU feature a built-in graphic chip that when you plug it in an outlet that graphic card power up. It has built-in HD acceleration to reduce CPU overhead.
Its nick is gaming mobile-much faster graphic on the go. All notebook manufacturers jump-in.

Now they have free upgrade to Vista-x64-HomePremium (another HP).
Don't forget to do that.
Then you can get free Vista-64 reinstall DVD by calling the tech.support and claiming...

I bought it with x32 Vista. If anybody are willing to share the image
of the x64 DVD - feel free to contact

(I hope robots will miss such an email)

For my surprise they don't even have Vista chipset driver on their site
