We bought two recently but they both came with Home and not Pro so we took them
back.
They did both get extremely HOT but they with the did perform well and seemed
like they would be good for a kid or lite work.
Nothing like what my users would put them through though.

I got curious and went next door to the Verizon shop...
1. It is definitely an HP - they make no effort to cover the logo.
2. It has WiFi and G3, but it has no RJ-45 jack. (There is probably a USB
RJ-45 ethernet adaptor out there some place.)
3. Standard is 1 Gb RAM, 80 Gb hard drive, and a flavor of XP.
4. The keyboard is full-size.
5. No optical drive, but it does have an SD card slot.
