I have an HP laptop already, only 3 months old. (DV9233CL)

What I would like: Easier cooling - the thing heats up so much that you have to put it to sleep or turn it off after about an hour, or you can cook on it!

Webcam software that does not require 3rd party software to work (ie yahoo messenger) so that you can click on a camera application and have the webcam useful out of the box.

Quickplay that works with Vista. (Completely useless as loaded)

NOT that shiny black fingerprint magnet for the front cover with a design that does not attract every stray spec of dust in the house! ANY color that is NOT black or silver. Or at least put out skins that will cover a 17" notebook.

Replacement batteries that are less expensive.

Put the AC input back in the BACK of the unit, not the side where it gets in the way of everything! At least 1 USB port in the back as well. My desk gets awfully cramped with cords leaking from the sides of the device.

Put the WiFi switch on the side, rather than next to the lid release - I keep turning off the WiFi trying to open the laptop.

More accessible support - I really don't want to have to spend an hour trying to go through my issues with someone who is not a native english speaker and who has clearly never seen an HP product, only to then be transferred back to the states to speak to someone who has the answer in 5 minutes. This is not an enjoyable experience as a consumer, FYI.

I'd like HP products to work with HP products out of the box. Like my $400 1 year old All-in-One printer that is now an All-in-NONE with my laptop because it runs Vista. You'd think that HP could make HP products work together regardless of the OS.

No more bloatware! I don't need to spend the first 4 hours removing crap from the computer, and not being able to find it all.

A less "shiny" wrist surface - it attracts grime. Something with a slightly rubberized surface would be great.

A dedicated "back" button on the touchpad. (The scroll area is AWESOME)

And, I'd really like the option for a backlit keyboard.
