HP Pavilion dv7-6c20us Notebook AMD A-Series A8-3520M(1.6GHz) 17.3" 6GB Memory DDR3 750GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi AMD Radeon HD 6620G

Pros: Great sound, great looking screen, comfortable keyboard spacing, fingerprint scanner, fast, everything work flawlessly and it games very well.

Cons: Need to purchase upgraded power chord to run the laptop on High performance.

Other Thoughts: I couldn't be happier with this laptop. I bought mine from Costco only because it was a hundred bucks off and they sold out quickly. I play Aion and it runs that game very well on medium graphics setting on power saving mode. I wonder if it would run the game better if I bought the upgraded power chord and ran it on high performance.

Pros: one word: Awesome.
This machine has two hard drive bays and the memory is expandable to 16gig.
It handles Acid Pro and MixMeisterFusion without a hiccup.
Brushed aluminum finish looks great without becoming a dust or finger print magnet.
Renders all video files very well, from sd to 1080 without artifacts. Excellent desktop replacement.

Cons: None. I have not experienced the headphone issue the other reviewer had. Bluetooth and wired headsets worked flawlessly.

Other Thoughts: Excellent price. Bought the exact same model at one of those warehouse stores for the same price just because I couldn't wait.

Pros: I like the screen resolution.
The sound from the speakers is good.

Cons: Plugging headphones does not completely switch off the speakers for half of the applications, so headphones are useless..... problem can probably be solved but time is not free and I have never seen such a problem in any computer so I thought it was useful to mention (Im not the only one, google and see for yourself)
Comes with 4 primary partitions (the maximum) all containing mysterious system files, so that it is really a pain to play with the partitions or install another OS.
The graphic card is not compatible with the 3 latest versions of ubuntu. I had to downgrade or spend one week searching for a solution.
Wifi connection is unusually weak when far from the router.
