Advantages: hmmm

Disadvantages: does "after twelve month free warranty expires machine packs in" count?

Buy this laptop at your peril.
After exactly one year mine has started dieing completely at random, the dvd drive needs to be replaced, it gets insanely hot and it makes a LOT of noise. Also sometimes it will just not restart - I presume because it is too hot but mine is now propped up to give it some "breathing space" and still the same problems. A friend and colleague bought the exact same laptop and is having the exact same problem. There are other problems but I am well on my way to a premium review here :)
Believe me if you buy this laptop you will regret it in twelve months time or maybe even sooner. I have worked for hewlett-packard and given the shambolic "structure" and "management" of entire organisation I am not suprised at the non-quality of this laptop. Perhaps I should have known better.
