Hahahaha @USAFRet! I'm going to hold you to it. I'll be knocking on your internet door with my barrage of questions. You'll end up looking like that guy in your avi. KIDDING ;)

Got it (as in I actually get what you're saying)... Thank you.

Yes. Thank you for that @USA... Speaking of the operating system product key: I asked one person if she had the product key for the lap I was looking at. She said, "oh, that's located somewhere on the bottom of the computer"... Is that true? Where would I find that as there are several numbers...

Thank you, @ice Out of curiosity, what does this mean exactly? (It was part of the description on what of the computers on that ebay list)----> : "3rd Party Software not included or supported by shop-arrow-direct..." <--- can you give me an example of what they're talking about here--provided...

Thank you, dexterwiz. When I get my new computer. I'm coming back to this.

Hi, @iceblitzed. Thanks for the reply I chose HP not because I just love the product, but because I don't really know what the hell I'm doing. That's the truth. BUT, since I've come to this amazing site I've had a bit of a turn around. I have an HP right now and it over heats and lags. It's a...

"...don't need the recognition. Have lots of it anyway..." Why does that not surprise me? ;) Thanks, again. Have a good morning.

Thank you, Novuake. Really, your advice is invaluable to someone like me who is utterly clueless. I don't know (yet) how to give you and this site more "brownie points", other than "picking [your] solution", but if there is a way... let me know. I'll poke around and see.

Ah, yes, thank you for that. It serves exactly the purposes I'm looking for... Last q: What model/brand of laps do YOU prefer within the 400$ price range--because I could tell you aren't too thrilled with HP? I'm curious to know what the best or more 'reliable' brand is (in general) while also...

Got it. 400 bucks is really what I need. Say I muster up 400 bucks, what kind of lap would you suggest? Again, whether it's used or new really makes no difference to me. The best bang for the buck is what I'm looking for.

@Novuake... just saw your edit... No, I don't require long battery life No size preference. ALTHOUGH, I don't want it too small... as in, I want to be able to have the keyboard big enough to type freely, easily (if that makes sense?) Hahaha, when you say numpad... does that mean do I need...

Honestly, my budget is 200 bucks. I know, I know. It's probably unreasonable to think I can get anything halfway decent on that, but I'm willing to take a super old model if it runs well has at least a windows 7 install and I can surf the web a lot without the lag. I'm really willing to take...

Ha! that's exactly what's happening with the Pavilion I have now, as we speak! I thought it was just my abuse of the thing (probably that too). I even do something really ghetto and hang half the lap off the edge of a coffee table and place a small fan underneath to curtail system heating...

I'm trying to compile a list of the most important things to look for when selected a used laptop. I need/want an HP... Here's what one computer savvy gentleman told me... Is there anything you think I should add? Or do you have any other suggestions? If you plan to store music and videos or...

"The HP Pavilion series may run slow because it is HP's "consumer" line of products. They tend to load the laps with tons of app demos and such." If true, is there a way to delete/trash/what-have-you these demos? Thanks for the help, in advance.
