I gotta agree. My HP also very warm. The ventilation is rather poor. Can't really feel the air coming out. The heat is trapped inside.
Something is not right with the architecture.

Is there anyone who noticed the HP/MTV TAMA? It's basically, a laptop skin competition in conjunction with HP drive to make the computers
personal again. Contestant were required to send their self-designed laptop with messages to the world at heart.

I really love this kind of art competition but as u probably already knew the competition was long closed.

The winner was Portuguese Joao Oliveira with the theme "Asian Odyssey".

Checkout the winning designs at: www.mtv-tama.com

how much is dv2703 selling at lowyat..dont tell me 3999..

Officially, it is priced at RM3'999 but that's official. U can get a RM50-100 discount from any shop or maybe even more. If u wanna get good price, go to shop like Sri Computers or Cycom. Even better price are offered by kiosks but I don't think u would get the genuine HP carry case. U can buy the HP bag at RM50 anyway at lowyat 3rd floor.

is there any possiblilities buiyng refurbished hp from the kiosk?? how to differentiate between original hp and refurbished hp besides recognizing the model no..

http://h50198.www5.hp.com/Store/default.as...mily.asp?pid=27

plus another 1 model that dint listed: HP Pavilion TX1316AU

all this is genuine model,other than this NO

i bought for my aunt 3 weeks ago i think. It's 3899 in Sri Computer wif 2GB ram (free upgrade), so far it's the best offer around lowyat that i can find.

how come??
then my dv2615tx not genuine ??

Im working in HP and im getting a HP Pavilion 6715tx which is not available in malaysia i guess. Im getting from singapore which im buying at a very very cheap price due to the employee programme. Anyway, pavilion is a really good notebook. Go get it.

is genuine model too but is consider old model already.dv2615tx replace by dv2713tx

Yeah, your friend is right. Charging a laptop with the battery on would inexorably reduce its life-cycle . If u charge with the batt on, chances are, u will get half the battery life in just over 2 months in a single charge.

Nonetheless, it's inadvisable. Taking the battery out would cause the current to travel with a slightly different electrical circuit
than normally it would with the battery on as the batt act as medium with which the current complete its circuit. Without the batt, sometimes u wud feel a slight stinging sensation on your keyboard tho I'm not sure if this indicates a serious issue. I did feel it sometimes with the batt off.

However, the most probable scenario u wud get is a crack to your battery hinge or u may get a loose battery compartment which makes sound whenever u shake ur laptop.

Bear in mind, HP clearly warns in every their laptops' manual to not disassemble the battery. This may implies voiding of the warranty if found so.

Added on February 1, 2008, 4:32 amI don't think HP Malaysia sell refurbished laptops as does DELL. Below are the refurbished/imported laptops which are not under the warranty provided by HP Malaysia. I believe there are more now.

- Pavilion dv6409us
- Pavilion dv6409tg
- Pavilion dv6433t
- Pavilion dv6174t
- Pavilion dv6563cl
- Pavilion dv2415nr
- Pavilion dv6305t
- Pavilion dv9310us
- Pavilion dv6448se
- Pavilion dv2550se



They may come with International Warranty but HP Malaysia won't be covering the warranty neither in parts or labors. Nonetheless, these laptops by no means are illegal laptops. If you are thinking of buying one or just realized you just bought one, warranty will be provided by the shops/resellers that sell the units. I heard there is a shop that sell this imported units from Taiwan, if you happen to have a problem, they will send the laptop to Taiwan for warranty claim but of course it will consume a lot of time and maybe cash for the shipping.

The good thing is, they give consumers extra choices, say the Pavilion DV2415nr. U can get a Pavilion DV2000 with webcam and remote control with less than RM3000 for a AMD Turion X2 processor.
