A really nice looking laptop. Very light, but still has a normal screen size. The battery holds up to 4 hours. I am absolutely in love with the keyboard. Not only does in look nice, it feels good too. I haven't got the illuminated one, but i think the keyboard is completely okay with out it, it's not hard to see the letters:) Vista has it's downsides, but you have to admit, it looks really nice:) The gaming graphics are pretty nice, so is the sound. And the touch - sensible buttons are a pretty cool feature (i was struggling to get the volume right at first, but i'm comfortable with it now). The only downside i've experienced now is that it gets slow sometimes, when you're working on it for a while. It's quiet, and, doesn't get hot (the power cable does, but that really doesn't bother). Oh, and did I mention the fingerprint reader? It get's you logged in really fast, only takes a second. So, my point is, GET IT! and get it NOW, while it's still hot and low-priced:)
This is my first laptop and i was all over the place trying to find something that i really wanted. One of my friends put me on to HP and Im soooooo grateful. I absolutely love this thing! Its the perfect size and it performs wonderfully. Honestly this is the first laptop/notebook ,whatever u call it, that ive ever worked on and i had no problem figuring things out fresh out of the box. The backlit keyboard is a must as the bronze keys with white lettering can be difficult to see otherwise. The battery pack does get a bit hot after a while. i love the scroll bar on the mouse pad and i dont see people who dont have it even function. I love everything about it basically and wouldnt change it for anything.
Got it at a great price. I've only had it for a week and a half now but I've been in love with it since right out of the box. It's the perfect size. It runs great. No glitches or error messages. The keyboard size is perfect. And the customizing options are well worth the money. It has everything for everyone. THeres a great graphics card for the game lovers. If you're into photo and video editing theres a built in memory card slot which is great because you don't have to worry about connecting it to the camera itself and getting frustrated with downloading the necesary drivers and etc in order to view the pictures. Also it syncs easily with PDA and Pocket PC phones and the bluetooth connectivity is fantastic. It also easily detects and connects to wireless internet sources without any inputs from you. And the simple touch media controls are grreeatt! I'm telling you, you'll love this notebook. My only objection is that the battery charger can get hot at times. You know the little black box? It has a tendency to get hot but the laptop itself doesn't over heat. it just gets warm. They should've placed more fans and vents but then there would've been little space for the usb plugs and hdmi plugs. Also because of it's size, it's very hard to find a perfect fit notebook jacket for it. Other than that honestly this laptop is a great buy!! I give it 2 thumbs wayy up. Great for students, anybody on the go.
