Gotta buy a new lap top....thoughts?

[hemiblas]

I'm also curious on the fix for the old hp dv series laptops. I have one that works for about 5 minutes and then stops working. I think its a mb or video issue and something overheats on the mb.

I'm also agreed with the guys that say to buy a separate computer for an htpc. I always buy a cheapo laptop for around 400 or so and then put my money into my main pc.
