The HP's I've had in the past have been generally good, but I heard the HP zd8000 is noisy and overheats. I also heard that it was prone to lock ups while doing certain graphic intensive applications.
hey
I am an American who will be going to college in Australia. I've been trying to decide what laptop to get.
I think I've decided.
The HP zd8000 2100 with what I want, awesome stuff for the money. Its got a TV tuner and stuff so I won't buy a tv or anything.
I've always been a desktop guy, but I can't very well fly my desktop over there, plus I want something more portable. I know the battery life sux, like 1.5 hours (if I'm lucky). I'm gonna get a Dell Axim for Class.
Any body have any expirience with the HP zd8000?
Let me know what you think
