I seriously dislike HP notebooks. A friend of mine bought one a couple of months back, and I have spent atleast a day (as in 24 hours) trying to fix it, and the store where he bought it spent weeks trying to get it working again. Don't know if that's the case with HP notebooks in general, but I know I'll never buy one.
I just found this site, and they offer some serious hardware for a decent price:
