Good luck. :-\ I bought one on the 25th and still haven't received it. I was told the one I wanted was out of stock, but they had one just like it with 4gHD. :-\ I'm starting to get pissed.

Yea man, the dude thought that it was broken, it would sometimes cut on and sometimes wouldnt, just sat there, after some internet searches, someone said to tighten the screws on the bottom of it, and it starts everytime now!!!! So Glad, what a good purchase, its got (Zdyne's Bin hacker), Turbo edit, and ecu control, and a serial port!!! ;D iTs already done a good job tuning!

not a registered user cause he already got caught.. auction is over and someone I'm sure is out cash.

RULE NUMBER 1:
Never buy an HP/Compaq product!!!

I used to work for hewlett packard a while back and I can affirm that they are the devil. I've had an HP omnibook in the past and that thing was a total POS.. nothing but problems and customer support/service ------- sucked ass. I sent the thing back to the factory for repair a total of 5 times and they never fixed my problem. Eventually they just refunded me and said sorry they couldn't help; bastards.

RULE NUMBER 2:
Never buy a "home edition" laptop"
What I mean by this is there are two kinds of laptop grades. Business grade and home grade. HP Pavilion is the home grade, HP omnibook is the business grade. Business grade machines are tougher and are designed to run all the time versus the home grade machines that burn up if you leave them on 24/7. When it comes to used laptops you definately need to consider the machine that is better built. Other brands would be dell latitude (business) versus dell inspiron (home). Compaq armada (business) versus presario (home).

There are more tips to buying laptops, someone should start up a laptop buying guide thread and I will contribute. I've owned lots of different laptops and currently have a dell latitude cpx p3-500 that I'm happy with.
