I guess I am used to when I purchase at eBay and I know that I am going to get my Bing...

Did a search on "HP laptop" on Bing. The 25% comes up on teh right side, column, 2nd choice down.
FWIW, bought this Core 2 Duo, 320 GB, 4GB RAM, 13", with 9 cell and an extra 6 cell battery (2 batteries) for $719. Free 2 day shipping. Less Bing 25%, net cost is $540.
One negative is that it uses the older DDR2 memory architecture (most are going to DDR3 asap.)
• Intel Core Duo T6500 (2.1GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB) • 4GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm) from 2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm) • 320GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD • 13.3" diagonal WXGA High-Definition 1280 x 800 • LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
• Webcam Only • Intel Wireless-N Mini-card with Bluetooth • One 6 Cell and One 9 Cell Lithium Ion Batteries • Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit) • Espresso Black

This one has ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3410 Graphics with 512MB dedicated
which is much better than GMA 4500MHD.

By "this one", you mean the one the OP posted? That is also an option on the one that I posted. I will upgrade the video myslef though, I already have 3 extra video cards at home.
Just trying to save folks some time looking at/evaluating their options. The base price on the one I posted is $599.
For personal reasons, I have decided to always buy Intel instead of AMD (YMMV - not trying to start a war.) Intel Core 2 Duo is also a minimum for me.

Cheers!
You can (sometimes) switch video card if the system has a dedicated card, but you can't install video card when there's no slot at all.
Are you sure about upgrading?
You're not trying to upgrade your laptop with full-desktop-sized PCI-e, right?

Thx! That one actually has an expansion slot:
* 1 ExpressCard/54 Slot
I wound up ordering an i7 14" instead. I was trying to stay at the 13" size, but I really wanted DDR3 ram and a quad processor. The i7 has this adapter as standard:
I ordered the dv2-1030us with my student discount through HP. Grand total for a netbook hybrid, $404! The bing CB is already sitting in my pending box.
pros: Cheap price, 4gb ram, 320gb hard drive, free external optical drive, 12.1' a perfect size for laptop. cons: AMD CPU! These little babies come with a heat problem to start with, holding ram and hard drive (not SSD, mind you). AMD just adds the last straw on the camel. I have had one like this and the board melted a chip and the laptop is useless now. Even when it were working it was always scorching hot!

ahcool...good points on the cons. I read some of the Amazon reviews and people said that once windows 7 is installed, this gets rid of the heat problem. Hopefully that will solve the issue.

if you don't need built in optical drive, i would look into dm3 series. good looking light weight, good battery...just another option you can look into. i personally have all my stuff on my external drive, so optical is not used that much, but that's just me.
Hey guys, I live up in Canada. But I got family in AZ that i'm going to visit. How can I take advantage of this offer? If I pay with an american currency credit card, get it shipped to an american address etc, will I get the CashBack even if my Paypal is Canadian?

For the love of Pete!
The just sent me 2 emails telling me they are sorry and my Bing CashBack is on again. Of course, I sent the laptop back yesterday and I've had it with Bing for a while. I'm a little unsure if it is HP's fault or Bing's fault, but I'm thinking it is more Bing's fault. Anyway, I will do Bing again, but only if it is a good deal even if the Bing doesn't go through. The the Bing is just gravy.
