Hi all,

I have a HP Pavillion zv 6000, which I bought refurbished about 2.5 yrs ago (a little less than that). Lately, it has started acting weird -- I brought it to a computer place and got told that the AC doesn't make contact inside the laptop, and that this would cost around $180 to repair. I don't know exactly what my laptop's specifications are: I think it has around 500 RAM, around 80 G of a hard-drive, AMD Athlon 64 (I think that's 1.8 appropriateunits). I have Win XP.

The laptop is old, huge, and heavy, but I am young and poor, and graduating this year (without parents to move back with)--so I'll have to be looking for jobs all summer.

What do you people recommend: repair or replace, and if replace, what laptop do you suggest that I get?

Thank you very much for your help.

hi jenia,

it actually depends how much are you willing to spend. if you can spare around $500, i think you can get a pretty decent laptop with that amount (may be lower than $500). Probably not the high end ones but enough for school work, internet browsing and mail. It actually depends on how you use and what you will use it for.
