It is a wide screen laptop. However, if you want a decent HP you have to shell out roughly 1000 - 1500. Unless you buy a second hand one or if you are not looking for potability ( meaning you dont care about the weight of the laptop). I wish you luck finding a decent laptop for less than 1000.
However, when i tried installing SuSe on to the laptop, I had some difficulties getting the wireless, and lan to work. You may have better luck.

Yeah I see they have some very cheap laptops available, I especially like the dv1000. Are you pleased with the purchase? How is the build quality? Does it get hot? Please tell me some more information about that. How long does your battery last under different uses? And do you dual-boot or just strictly have windows or linux?
