It has the right features and an attractive price but after some investigation I'm not sure anymore. There is an ongoing discussion suggesting that the HP bios is broken, i.e. poor compliance with ACPI specs. Users of recent Linux distros report problems: <http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId=1079573>; Sorry that I can't help with the problem. Let us hope for HP to provide a bios upgrade solution. - Ulfhome | help
