If you can get Vista Home Premium to install, I have my doubts since Ultimate won't install, you will be able to upgrade to Ultimate. The reason I have my doubts about HP installing is because Ultimate and HP are the same except for a...
Here is what I like about it. Keep in mind this is only from using for about 2 hours. The keyboard is much better than most. Larger keys for one. It has a number pad which for me is great. I have to use a USB addon with my laptop as...
