L2000 looks like a great machine, and you benefit Lance Armstrong's Cancer Foundation when you buy it!
It looks to be a Turion version of the dv1000/V2000; probly same chassis w/diff color scheme. I say go for it, just make sure to get the 12-cell battery

EDIT And take some NICE pics of it when you get one!

If you buy a pre-config model you should be okay. If you custom-order it you might be SOL. Order now!

Take some pics man! This is the computer I've been most interested in for some time now...

Although, I must ask, why didn't you go for the ML-30 CPU? For $25-50 more you get double the L2 cache.

 

[thehstrybean]

I should have...but it performs nicely now...I just ordered an upgraded stick of RAM, so that'll help...Pics coming...
