I currently have an HP dv5. Core Duo p7350 / 4gb / geforce 9200m / 1680 rez / 15"
It is used for streaming movies and MLB.tv and NFL. Also used for downloading shows and watching them.
I either watch on the screen or connect via HDMI to a 55' LED
CUrrently have an issue where the laptop LCD will flash black and white horizontal lines while not affecting the output to the TV at all. This means it's either the lcd screen or a cable inside which is a common problem with these laptops over the years.
If it's going to cost me 100+ to get it opened and fixed, I would rather just get something newer and faster. Is there a decent laptop out there that would give me a lot more power in the $400 range? (need hdmi output / graphics to handle movies/ BACKLIT KEYBOARD!!! )
Thanks for any advice
