Been around this price point for the past 3-4 months.
I have an older version of this 17" HP, opening and closing it a lot resulted in the back separating into an upper and lower part at the hinge. Wouldn't buy it again.
The Woot! deal is for a refurbished model

Same here but for about $120 on eBay I got replacement upper and lower shells to rebuild it good as new. If you are in the same boat you should assume both halves need replacement. In my case I thought it was just the upper shell but after disassembling it was the bottom too.
For reference, the keyboard was sonic welded into the bottom shell and impossible to reuse.

I have also been plagued with HP laptop hinge issues. I was able to use some JB Weld Plastic Bonder Epoxy and kind of get things back to working again. I also messed with the tension on the hinges, so that it doesn't have so much resistance. It isn't perfect, but it gets me by. There are some videos on Youtube showing how to do this.
The Woot deal for the 15" seems better. 17" laptops should be phased out except for gaming models. They're too cumbersome for travel and the extra screen size isn't much difference.
Im looking for a 17" because I need a house/upstairs/downstairs portability, I like a big screen and I dont care to take it out of the house.
Can I go in and update to 16MB of RAM? What is current setup - 2 slots of 4MB of one slot of 8MB and I can just add another 8MB...or do I need to buy one 16MB or two 8MB chipsets?

It comes with 2x4gb.
You can replace both modules with two 8gb for 16 total or replace one with 16gb for 20 total. Best performance comes with matched pairs but it is unlikely you would notice the difference.

4MB memory sticks? They are three decades old.
