Brad: I've always been leery of HP, guess it goes back to the whole Compaq thing.. Do you remember how much you paid for it?

One of the things that's important to me is what you mentioned: how hot the cpu runs and how long it takes to cool down before bagging it ( I work remotely most of the time). My current laptop is an I7 Intel processor, 6 gb RAM, 750 gb HD, 17" screen, and runs cool - I can turn it off after using it over 8 hours and feel no appreciable heat (and the fan is not on/off). I purposely did not buy the most high powered laptop in the line because it ran hotter and had a very bulky power adapter. HP Pavillion dv-7 6b63 is what I happen to have, but, am not committed to an OEM, just the requirements I have. Maybe this helps in your considerations. Brad Davidson
