Pros: Can handle games much better than I expected. I downloaded the Bioshock demo and it ran smoothly on max settings, with DX10 in 1280x800 resolution. At one point near the end of the demo six or seven splicers appear at once and it became choppy. Disabling DX10 fixed this.
It's a fast computer all around.
Very nice looking.
Ample RAM.

Cons: Lots of bloatware.
When Idle, 29% of the four gigs are being used. However, this isn't too much of an issue as you won't typically need all four gigs often/ever.
The Hp quicktouch onscreen display should be disabled as soon as you get this computer. Trying to adjust the volume from the quicktouch buttons while this is enabled caused the computer to become unresponsive unless all windows are minimized. Even when all windows are minimized the box that shows the volume increase/decrease remains on the screen for about 30 seconds which is annoying.

Other Thoughts: Vista's ratings for this computer are:
Processor: 4.9
RAM: 4.5
Graphics: 3.4
Gaming Graphics: 4.5
Primary hard disk: 5.2

I haven't tested how long the battery lasts yet. I will later today and post another review.

I am downloading a trial of World of Warcraft and I will post how it preforms.

Pros: Fast, good hardware for the price. Ran games good in Vista.

Cons: Vista x64, and recovery disks aren't included. Lots of bloatware, I probably spent about 3 hours uninstalling everything.

Other Thoughts: Please be aware that the video card in this notebook is a DX10 card if you were planning on wiping the drive and installing XP. There are no working XP drivers for this card that I can find, so I'm basically beat until I can find out how to get a recovery disk from HP to install Vista again.
