There are a few VERY IMPORTANT items you should take into consideration when buying a dv2000.

1) Make sure you have the 1 year local warranty by buying it from local manufacturers.

2) Stress test your PC, specially the processor within the 1 year warranty.

This is because the dv2000 series has a high degree of probability of failure within the first year. I acquired 4 units for our office and have already sent 2 for motherboard repair. It seems that the overheating problem is not just an annoyance to your palms but to your wallet too. The 1st one was within warranty, the other was beyond warranty. Good thing we had an extended warranty from an insurance company. Motherboard related repairs would cost you around 1000 USD.

There is really no replacement model from other manufacturers for this beautiful, classy and capable mobile. That is why I am still getting another 2730 for myself. (Core 2 2.2, 2Gig Ram, HD-DVD, and HDMI). I will just have to live with the overheating problem by making sure I have it insurance-covered for 3 years.
