Just pulled the trigger on an HP DV2z

Hi everyone,

I just ordered a new HP DV2z notebook and was wondering what everyone/anyone thought about it. I liked the Netbook size with Notebook qualities/performance/etc. Seems like it should work pretty well for what I intend to use it for (no gaming really, just word processing, surfing, some excel/access/etc). What do you think?

Specs of computer are:
• Espresso Black
• Windows Vista Home Premium w/sp1 (64-bit)
• AMD Turion Neo X2 Dual-Core Mobile L625 Processor (1.6GHz, 1MB L2 Cache)
• 4GB DDR2 System Memory (1 Dimm)
• 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive w/ HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• 512MB ATI Radeon HD Premium Graphics 3410 - For L625 Processor and Vista Premium
• 12.1" diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
• Webcam Only
• Wireless-G Card
• HP Color Matching Keyboard
• 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
• External LightScribe Super Multi 8X DVD+/-RW w/Double Layer
• Microsoft(R) Works 9.0

I'm thinking that sounds pretty good compared to my four year old IBM T42p (2.1ghz single-core Intel processor with +-512mb RAM, 80gb HD, etc)... I'm a little worried about the slower (1.6ghz) processor speed but I am thinking the 4gb RAM + dual core processor should compensate for that..? Thoughts?

Anyways, let me know what you think if you feel like it. Chatting about my new purchase is all I have to look forward to before it gets shipped to me in a few weeks... any comments appreciated

You have made a good choice. I own an old DV2 series and it still performs splendidly!

Care to give us a personal review?
