Yep, just under 800, my last Sony Vaio and Prior HP last no longer than 3 years, so I’m resigned to buying every 3 years, and this HP has been very good (only 6 months old, it better!).

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
