It also overheats (i have it raised off the desk with a window fan blowing over it for cooling) due the the fan/heatsink assembly being messed up... and the fact that you can only get a replacement thru HP (and ebay lol) and I haven't really felt like paying the money for it. That may be more of a 1st gen athlon mobile issue though.
Now that you mention it the wireless does do what ever it wants but I kinda just got used to it. I usually have it on carpet and it still dosent overheat. Never had any problems other than that tho, unlike our dell we have. Biggest POS ever crahsed like 5 times in the first year we had it.
