I only got a couple of offers for real short term loaners. This will help us fix one or two issues but won't help us getting all the issues wrung out. I can think of at least 5 or so issues with the current code on HP machines (not just laptops!) ranging from overheating to busted ACPI tables resulting in crashes. So if you care about making HP machines work properly please step up. I got a few more days left before I travel to the hackathon.
