Ping for later - I’m in the market myself - thank you very much!

Are you concerned with HP’s desire to exit the PC market?

I think you should get Windows 7 Pro and not Home.

I just bought this HP laptop

HP ProBook 4525s $409.99

And added 4GB RAM for $22.29

G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3

There is an empty slot for the RAM. It is very easy to do yourself.

Then you call HP and they will send you Windows 7 Pro 32- and 64-bit disks. Install the 64-bit version, and you have a heck of a laptop for under $450.

HP only sends you the disks for the Pro laptops. If you buy anything else they won’t send them.

I am very satisfied with mine after six months. I am a developer and have SQL Server 2008 installed on it and it runs great.
