It's Everything I Hoped For! [Posted on 2008-05-06]
I am extremely pleased with my new HP 17" laptop computer. For my needs,it is much faster than my old Dell desktop and I really like the new Vista Home Premium operating system. The photo editing that comes included is very good and I like the semi-transparent screens.
It is rather heavy for traveling, but with such a big screen that is to be expected. I was recently at airports with it and I wished that I had gotten a case with wheels! I will not be traveling with it that often, however, so the large screen is worth the extra weight to me. It's a good desktop replacement or for the occasional travel.

If it weighed more I could use it as a boat anchor. [Posted on 2008-05-10]
What a mistake! First thing, I can't even play my MP3s on Vista's WMP. I've had a codec problem from the start. When I tried to "downgrade" back to XP Pro, I found out that HP doesn't provide XP drivers for their Vista PCs. No problem, I'll just buy a sound card. Wrong! No expansion slots whatsoever. Not even 1. So I was stuck using RealPlayer. Then my external speakers starting picking up the WiFi signal, so now I hear buzzing and popping amplified through my music. This model is supposed to be an "Entertainment PC". Crappy sound and video that can't even handle a video game I tried to run on it. I wish HP would take this thing back so I could but a REAL computer. One positive thing is that it took some getting used to, but I like some of the Vista features.

WORTH THE MONEY [Posted on 2008-05-15]
i bought this laptop (typing this review on it now) a few months back when it was sold my amazon.com for only $[...] and i must say it is well worth it!

it has a built in blu-ray player which works like a charm, 320 GB hard rive enough to save EVERYTHING you can possibly download. NVIDIA GeForce 8600 clear, vivid picturing and video and gaming!

believe me it is WORTH every penny!!!

Love this Laptop!! [Posted on 2008-07-01]
I purchased this laptop in February-use it daily and have never had one problem with it. I wouldn't buy any other kind than HP and if the house burns down, the kids will have to fend for themselves-I'm saving the laptop! I have recommended it to many people!!
