I’ve been holding off an purchasing a new laptop until factory installed Win 7 is out there. Looks like that was a good strategy.
Given the economy there should be some screaming deals for Christmas.

I currently have an HP notebook PC, windows vista, AMD turionx2, and NVIDIA GeForce GO 8200M graphics.

No problems so far. I was forced to buy it about a year ago when my previous laptop fried. Overheated CPU I think.

I think I will be buying a new one in about 6 months. Just to be safe. I don’t want to get stuck with a fried laptop ever again and forced to buy another without time to shop around. I tend to be hard on them since I use them in un airconditioned and dusty places at times.

I bought a new laptop this summer on Ebay that the seller had purchased and replaced the Vista with XP. I could have probably gotten one a little cheaper locally (although the seller did not charge me for shipping), but I did not want to deal with Vista.
