Hi!! A word of warning about HP Laptops-Notebooks. They like to put a lot of high end software on it because it looks nice. Burns the you know what out of the battery. Set your power plan to power saver and the system will act slightly nuts. You might want to take off a few programs when traveling or you might find you have a dead battery before you get there. That is also a problem you might want to monitor, they used to stay awake when they weren't supposed to.... It's a simple enough problem to fix. Mine seems to play dead very well, about 5% every day and a half, without using. Bring a spare battery, adapter and a mini mouse (Antenna) A package set from HP (roomy bag, mini mouse, adapter) will set you back $100 US
