I returned an i6000 for the same reason - text too small. I purchased the dv4000 w/matte screen and I'm really happy. Perfect resolution for this size screen. Some co-workers have the glossy finish and I can't stand it. They have to look...

My bad. It is 1280x800. Not sure what I was thinking. Fan is pretty quiet. My wife would kill me if it wasn't she's very sensitive to noise, and has yet to complain about it. It will kick in every once in a while, but it's very...

This smacks of my whole experience with the ac adapter. Do not - I repeat - do not attempt to get an additional ac adapter for this notebook. Believe me, I have now confirmed from HP, HP Parts, HPShopping.com, and HP's Tech Support that...

thanks Steve

Does anyone know if DDR2 533 ram will work in a notebook that is designed to run 400? (maybe it just runs at a lower speed?)
