Hello 2X

HP laptops seem to be the "best" buy at the moment...most "stuff" for your $$$... :)

Go to HP's website and you can order one with XP still in it (Refurbished Models) for about 10%-20% cheaper then new. These are new models, but because they were "pre-owned" they can't sell them as "new". Say a company buys a 500 of them, but only needs 480...they send the 20 laptops back, HP takes them and even though the box was never opened, they open the box, run the tests on them and put them back into the box and place them back on the market as "Refurbished"...still get the same warranty and all, as if it was new, which it is really. We have bought several of them this way...works out very nice!

Hope this helps and Merry Christmas hun!


Peace
