    im thinking of buying HP Pavilion dv4-1431us and needed few question's answers.

    link: http://www.shopping.hp.com/store/product/product_detail/NU995UA%23ABA



    i will not customize it and will buy as it is that is for $720. answers from real buyers of dv4-1431us would be really apricated but still looking for all the experts advices..



    what i need to know is that in demo it showed alot more.. needed to know that does these features will be there in pre made $720 laptop



    1- does it have finger print???

    2- does it have dvd labeler?

    3- please tell me that if its worth buying... i need for long run like 4 yrs or more..

    4- hw much really is the battery life??

    5- hw can i add buildin bluetooth on this pre made laptop??

    6- if i buy HP 2 yr extended waranty will it be applicatable on all the countries as i heard that HP have WORLD WIDE waranty.

    7- i still dint get the viddeocard part.. tell me if its good enuf for daily basis work. i dont play games on PC except CS 1.6 but still wanted to know that it can suports todays games or not?? graphic card vista score would be nice if anythg above 4.0 then its good

    8- it says 720$ .. is its just $720 right? no rebate shit right..???

    9- like Dell and some others, they offer free upgrade to Windows 7. will HP will be doing the same if i buy the laptop in 1-2 days???

    Depends what you want to use it for. It's got a reasonable CPU in it, plenty of RAM, a bog standard screen but reasonably good HDD space. Of course the graphics card is useless for doing anything but using the desktop and playing standard def video, perhaps low-bitrate 720p would be ok with it. For games, it won't be any good, if it gets any more than 1.8-2.0 on the vista score I'd be appalled at vista's rating scheme.
