I am looking at the HP Pavilion dv2415us laptop because of its
relatively low weight, low cost ($699 after rebate), and built in
web-cam. I want to be able to write, check email, and maintain contact
via Skype while traveling. I know the battery life is relatively short
(about 2 hrs) but I think I can live with that. This machine came out
about a year ago.
Does anyone have experience/comments on this machine.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen Meskin
