I bought one fo these a few weeks ago and it lives up to everything HP claim about it. My one frustration is that it is extremely easy to accidentally touch the keypad and have the cursor re-positioned when you least expect it. Something I will come to terms with over the next few weeks I guess, so if that's all that's wrong the product deserves all the praise I can throw at it. Would I recommend it? Absolutely.

Just bought my new hp pavilion dm1. It is very nice but is there any other way to make recovery cd if I do not have an external DVD burner?
Thanks.

I am madly in love with the keyboard on my HP2140. The best keyboard I have used in 25 years. So, while I understand why you are disappointed that HP did not upsize the keyboard on their 11.6″ models, I can also understand HP's position – If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it. I have actually found the slightly smaller keyboard helps me type faster than a full size, as there is less reaching for corner keys. And, yes, I have large hands. Much of my job is technical writing, so I do plenty of typing. However, I realize keyboards are a personal preference…

THe reported conclusions do not align with other independent surveys that I have seen. THe report is based on Square trade's data and is not an independent report since the data is produced by a company selling electronics warranties. THe release is alos very suspiciously close to the holiday season.. Hmmmmm

I checked out the survey. ALL of the companies had extremely high failure rates. Asus and Toshiba were the "most reliable" with a 16% failure rate over 3 years. HP was the worst at 25% over 3 years.

So NOBODY scored high enough in the reliability department to gain my loyalty.

The next logical question is which manufacture provides the best customer support when something inevitably goes wrong? That's the brand to choose.

I’m a little surprised about the Acer ranking. We sell probably about 150 Acer laptops per year at my shop, and in the past year I’ve only had two failures that weren’t the result of obvious customer abuse.

HP, well, that’s another story. ‘Nuf said.

After reading the SquareTrade survey on repairs, I am no more interested in HP and Acer. That survey has really made a big impression on me and some of my friends.

Now, its only Asus, Toshiba and Dell for me.
