well, i think i've soldered 3 or 4 in the last 4 months, all being Satellite A60's which were the "budget" laptops with broken or intermittent charger ports so i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Yeah, my Pentium M has an 2MB L2 cache. It's a great processor. It ran at about a little over 2 hours battery life when brand new w/ the screen backlight turned all the way down and wireless off. That was pretty good for a 15.4" widescreen LCD on it. It's gone down in battery life since, and even more now that I use wireless after getting DSL and a wireless router.
I liked the dv4000 over the other HP models at the time I bought it because of the design. It looked a lot better than the ones with the long blank spot on the front instead of the touch pad buttons curving in front of it.
