    Yeah my HP has been nothing but 2 years of trouble, I will NEVER buy a HP again. My screen on the HP flickers sometimes and I have to bang it fo rit to come back to normal so I said screw it, Time for new laptops, and leisa's desktop is old so we got her a laptop to )

    lol BIOS spyware? wtf? And if there was some sort of malicious code in the bios, how hard is it to flash Most boards you can just set it in the BIOS menu to flashable, then boot from a flash CD... and ur done... but i strongly doubt its BIOS spyware you're talking about?...
    maybe spyware in general

    I don't know where you heard that from... but Dell laptops are probably the easiest I've ever taken apart to repair. Even then, about 95% of our clients all use Dell laptops and we haven't had trouble with any of them.

    I second that. I've worked on Dell, Compaq, HP, Toshibas, and IBM's for over 5 years. Hands down Dell has been the easiest to work on, and has better support (premier wise). Home support isn't that great (have to get thru India first).

    ive had my dell inspiron 8600 laptop for 3 years now. its a lil more upgraded than what you've ordered, but you got yours for a 1/3 of the cost so that's good. the only problem i've had on mine was the combo drive was loud as shit so i replaced it but thats it. hope your turns out a well as mine has.
