Great notebook at a good price [Posted on 2007-04-29]
I just bought this notebook yesterday so I can't say much about its long term durability or HP customer service yet, but I can say without hesitation that it is THE best deal out there for a 17" Core 2 Duo notebook with so many bells and whistles for its price. I had been researching for a suitable notebook for over a month and finally chose this over a comparable Sony Vaio (in terms of the specs, not the price, for the Vaio was several hundreds more). The screen is amazing and the dedicated NVidia graphics card makes a HUGE difference in the way the new Vista GUI operates. I highly recommend this. My advise to anyone planning to run Vista on a notebook is to have 2 GB ram and a separate graphics card.
WOW!!! [Posted on 2007-05-01]
Just bought this baby and am glad I did so. This is an awesome computer. It is THE BEST deal around. Amazon spec states one headphone plug - it comes with two. Built in microphone - there are two on either side of a webcam giving stereo field. It also features full size keyboard with separate numerical keys - just like on your desktop. Vista looks georgeous on this screen.
Best looking/functioning notebook I owned to date.
Great laptop, great value [Posted on 2007-07-07]
I use this laptop as a traveling IT project manager and business consultant. This machine is a great performer. The monitor is bright, crisp and color is great. Unfortunately, it didn't come with the option of bundling Office 2007 products with. So, budget for an extra $300 once you have purchased Office and Antivirus, etc.
Now for the good part, when I am not using the laptop for work, game on! World of Warcraft is my recent addiction. With the settings almost maxed out, the frame rate is fluid with no flicker or freezing. Just dont try this with a power source. Gaming in High Performance mode will suck the battery dry in a skinny minute. The nvidia 7600 graphics card is an important option for anyone who intends to game or anything that requires intense video.
Used the bundled software to burn mpeg movies to DVD. Worked perfectly at 2x.
Wish HP had included on-board bluetooth. I had to buy a Kingston bluetooth dongle for $30.
