I probably won't get much interest on a PC laptop in a Mac forum, but it's worth a try, right? Anyways, here's the specs:
* Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Media Center with SP2
* Intel Centrino Duo processor T2050 (1.60 GHz)
* 15.4" WXGA Widescreen Glossy (1280x800)
* 128MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400
* 1GB RAM
* 100 GB 5400 RPM SATA Hard Drive
* Super Multi 8x DVD+/-R/RW & CD-RW Combo w/Double Layer Support (originally thought it had Lightscribe, but I don't think it does)
* Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
* 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (comes in very handy...I never had to take my adapter to school with me)
* 5-in-one media card reader. Accepts SD, MS/Pro, MMC, SM, and xD. Very handy for frequent photo editing when you don't want to bring the cable along, or if you just want to use a memory card as storage medium.
* Built-in Altec Lansing speakers. Slightly better than typical laptop speakers, still not much bass, but they get REALLY loud!
* HP QuickPlay 2.1 - Lets you watch DVDs without fully loading Windows
* Carries the "Windows Vista Capable" sticker...not that you'd want to install that anyways
* Includes adapter, all the manuals and what not that came with it, HP Operating System DVD (in addition to the set of recovery DVDs I burned with the HP recovery program). I also think I have the retail box somewhere, I'll double check if anyone's interested.
I would say it's in excellent condition. There are VERY minor scratches around the keyboard framing, just from normal usage and cleaning. I'm the only owner...I ordered it new from HP.com with custom config, it was specially built by HP for me and shipped 9/04/06, so I assume the warranty is good until at least 9/04/07 (it definitely has a 1 year warranty from HP...just not sure the exact date it's good until). It was mostly just used for school and it runs things like Photoshop CS2, InDesign CS2, and World of Warcraft with no problems.
I'd like to trade for a Macbook, white or black, doesn't really matter. This is no longer really a "feeler" because I don't think I want to sell this. It's either a trade or I keep it.

If anyone wants a picture of anything else let me know and I'll do my best to take a picture of it. I tried to take a picture of the minor scratches on the glossy keyboard border, but needless to say, they're so light that they don't even show up in pictures. Also, in the HP vs. iMac screen comparison photo, the matte screen is much more photogenic than the glossy screen on the HP, but I assure you the glossy screen is equally as beautiful (no dead/stuck pixels either...unlike my iMac which has a pesky dead pixel)
