This has been the best lap top i have ever used. I had my laptop customized and it did not disappoint. The 18" monitor is absolutely stunning. The HD Tuner works wonderful. The Blueray is eye popping and the sound is top of the line. I upgraded the processor to the t9550 and the upgrades were second to none. HP delivered when they said they would. I had a computer expert friend of mine look at this model and help me get rid of all the "bloatware" it took 10 minutes there was practically none at all. He was so jealous of the speed and precision of this unit. Get your HP customized its well worth it. This laptop is an absolute beauty top to bottom. I would recommend it to anyone.
This is the second high performance HP laptop I've owned, and they are by far the best deals on the market. My last one is still going strong--my biggest reason for upgrading was to hog more hard drive space without using an external drive (external drives aren't the best for large digital photo/movie/music transfer rates). I've had this model (maxed out on options) for about a month now, and it's just beautiful. Beautiful graphics, amazing sound, superior performance. It's a little lighter than my old one as well, despite this one having a bigger screen. This computer is an amazing performer, looks cool sitting on your desk and will not let you down. Definitely recommend for the combination business/home user, serious gamer and part-time media mogul.
