Affordable with only small flaws [Posted on 2007-07-21]
First of all, what this laptop does well. Its 7100 (which incidentally gives 1.8Ghz not the 2Ghz advertised in the technical specs) is strong enough for some multitasking and it will certainly serve well enough for movies, and web surfing, even simultaneously. Also, for a laptop this size (17") it boasts a pretty good battery life of well over 2 hours.

What its not is a gaming PC or even a Vista PC. 1GB of RAM is not enough to run Vista in at an acceptable rate. Vista just hogs too much memory. If you get this my advice is upgrade it to 2GB or order it custom built from HP with 2GB (you can get the same features or better ones if you customize the basic dv9500 and it will probably be cheaper).

The regardless, though, current gaming, movie editing or other hardware intensive apps will not run on an integrated x3100. The whole idea behind getting an integrated card is that you don't need much graphics card horsepower so you opt for a cheaper one that is also more energy efficient.

Still, it is a large screen just made for your viewing pleasure at a decent price, so its not a bad PC just one that has certain obvious limitation (like lugging it around daily for example).
P.S. HP has horrible customer service so you had best pray your computer stays perfectly healthy.
