That laptop should still come with a remote control. The remotes in the HP laptops (I have a HP Pavilion dv6000) are tiny and there is a slot for them on one side of the laptop. In the fourth picture (the side view) in the link you posted, xeph, you can see the remote control slot next to the FireWire port. I use my remote when I'm listening to music and cleaning or watching movies/media on the laptop from across the room.

One thing though--the finish on the HP laptops is very glossy and picks up fingerprints and other things very easily, and it shows. They send you a little cloth to use with it but it doesn't get all the smudges off sometimes, I find. Sprayway window cleaner is great for getting them off--it's ammonia-free and doesn't spray all over the place.

My HP was also a sweet deal, but I'm not entirely sure how much I saved, as I got the employee discount.
