Hey all, I was wondering if you all will help with me decide if this laptop is worth buying.
---------------------------------
My current laptop that I have now is the HP Pavilion DV5000

ATI Moblilty Radeon Xpress 200 (128MB)
80 Gig HDD.
---------------------------------
This laptop I would be buying at Office Depot, and they have a sale going where it's
$799.99 In store price after the "Instant" $70 Savings.
And there's a $200 Mail-In Rebate.
$851.99 Is the final price out the door, but since I work at Office Depot, My price is:
$766.00 Out the door, then you got the $200 Rebates... So after rebates I end up paying

NEW HP Pavilion dv2416us 14.1" DualCore Laptop Notebook - (eBay item 150154949402 end time Aug-28-07 07:59:47 PDT)
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Some questions I also have is, obviously this laptop out preforms mine so I'd assume games would look allot better, my laptop ATM gets pretty good FPS.
Another MAJOR question, I heard some Vista machines you can't put XP on? How would I go about all that, because Vista sucks *** and I want to go back down to XP, does anyone know how I can DUEL - BOOT Xp and Vista? So I have both?
Thanks!
