Wayne,
don't buy HP notebooks either.
We just returned ours because the distance-pieces between top and bottom
are to small.
When you close the new notebooks, the keyboard leaves black marks on the
screen. Can't clean/wipe these marks off.
This happens with a little pressure on the notebooks. We tried it with
chalk to show to the salesperson. He took the notebooks all back and we
bought neither HP nor Compaq.

Truly a new INVENT
