    I have a Pavilion DV6000 bought for £599 from Staples and tbh it's one of the best computers/laptops I've ever worked on and not just for the 250gb harddrive, it's light, easy to use, quick to sort itsself out and load up.

    Only thing I don't like is Vista.

    But yes, on the whole that does seem like a good price for a good laptop - I have a lot of faith in HP :)
