They seem to be charging an arm and a leg for these things. My 3 yo HP started falling apart and here are the prices of the replacements:

70 dollars for a charger
200 dollars for a new battery
50 dollars for the speakers

WTF?

You can buy all those parts for a fraction of the price on Ebay.

Ebay is the way to go, for sure.

But I can tell you from experience: low-end HP Laptops don't last.
