Ok, some might but I don't think you will have a large pool of knowledgeable people in this newsgroup. I am just guessing but the HP price sounds a bit too cheap for what they offer so I'm wondering about the after the sale problems that might creep up. You might see if there is a HP newsgroup and read up from there. Are you sure you want a 17" laptop instead of a larger desktop for home use????
