Buying this computer was my biggest mistake. If you need to take a computer to class to take notes, this might be perfect for size but the noise that comes from the machine is loud enough to bother all of the people who you sit by. I think that over the three months I have had this computer the fan has gotten progressively louder then it originally was.

Definitely. This is basicaly a desktop AMD PC from around 2003.
The graphics is solid and the CPU should have no problem with any FLASH crap.

Just wanted to know if I can comfortably watch online streaming videos using the Dv2?

Can you check some youtube videos or some online anime videos and give me your thoughts , kevin ?

Dennis, I don’t believe that the ATI Radeon HD3410 in the dv2 is user replaceable. It’s part of the AMD Neo platform and paired with an Athlon CPU.

Really considering the HP dv2 and have one question… After several fiascos with laptops and integrated graphics chips that died, does the dv2 truely have a removable/replaceable graphics card?

I am also a user of this Laptop and it will be my last one. That is to say the laptop is great and I will stick with it from now on. Yes it has its very minor flaws, like too much software for trail, who needs it.
I have up graded my DV2 hard drive to 500 GB, no problems. Get or make the recovery disks and to make the Laptop boot from the included USB CD?DVD drive use the f9 key, select USB drive and enjoy a two and a half hour of wait. You get the system like new with all the un needed software. Just un install it.

Kevin, can you please take some size comparison pictures of the DV2 compared to other MIDs, UMPCs, netbooks, and notebooks? I would also love to see the difference in size, thickness, battery life, and computing power to the HP TX2Z. As always, thank you for very in depth and insightful reviews.

in most of the newer HP notebooks i’ve tried I do seem to notice some drag in the trackpad. maybe it is just a matter of personal preference for the both of us?…
I do think that it’s the glossy material that hp uses, though.
