Though I won't buy an HP printer again, my Compaq Presario CQ62 (HP) laptop has been awesome - big screen, fast, large HD, lightweight, durable and only 300 bucks out the door. My only complaint was the DVD player app. I don't recall the name of the software but I literally had to restore my operating system if I was playing a DVD and unplugged the machine for battery use. Got rid of it and just use the windows media player now.
