I have a dv7-1175nr I bought from best buy the end of last year. I really love it, sometimes I wish I had a little, light one, but when I get really deep into some photoshop or other work, I love the 17 in" widescreen
hp pavilion dv2000
had this laptop for nearly 2 years
i purchased it on holiday in florida
it has had to be repaired 3 times with the same graphics card problems (common problem with this laptop)
but other then that this laptop is great and suits my needs perfectly.
until recently it has been running lightning fast but with the hard drive now full its a bit slower. nothing an external hdd wont sort out
