The video is interesting, one states ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/productivity ports for $25 but in the description the additional $25 also buys you shared RAM upgrade from 32 MB to 128 MB.

I would suggest getting the:
AMD Turion(TM) 64 ML-34 (1.8GHz/1MB L2 Cache) add $95.00
80 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive add $65.00
54g(TM) 802.11b/g WLAN w/ 125HSM/SpeedBooster(TM) add $25.00
14.0 WXGA BrightView Widescreen (1280x768) add $25.00
ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/productivity ports add $25.00
12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery add $39.00
Add at least an extra 1x512MB yourself ($45.00) to bring your total system ram to 640mb, remember 128mb goes to the ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M.
So with shipping and the above upgrades its a total of $644 to get a machine you can actually do something with.
They must want to clear out these old cases in favour of the new style Compaq laptops. I got mine 11 months ago configured as above, except it was a Turion 64 ML-32 with 512KB L2 Cache, I kept the base (slow) 40gb hard drive, added Bluetooth and no cd burner for $484 shipped. Actually $684 since I am still fighting Office Depot for the $200 OD rebate they never sent me!
Unless CompUSA is better at rebates, I'd say find an entry level Turion or Core Duo system for $599 to $699 out the door with no shipping or rebates. This one is only $699 after a $30 easy rebate.
About the v2000z, I like it but wish it had an IR media remote like the HP version.

Q: So there is no $499 price anymore? And only one rebate from HP left?
So it would be better get a laptop directly from HP then? Or is there a better deal on other site?
Btw, is it cheaper to get your own RAM and HD outside than upgrading with Compaq?
