My laptop is a dv2700, which was left out of the lawsuit. I have the same issue (has a geforce 8400 gpu). Never buying HP or Nvidia again. I take care of my stuff and I expect my $1k laptop to last over 2 years.
This could be useful at airports where they already sell ipods, small electronics, etc. in vending machines. Pretty sure it's not meant for a can of pop.
