This is a great laptop for the money. I like the fact that it is upgradable (hard drive and memory). One thing that it didn't come with was a disk with the drivers. I was messing with settings and got lost...and had to re-install XP. Easy fix though, you just have to go to hp.com and download the drivers. (I had to do this from another computer) I would recommend doing this right away and saving them onto a CD-RW that way you have them if you need to re-load XP. It truly is a great bang for the buck.
