Pros: had to get after my western digital gave out on me slim lil drive. Works fast and does everything i need out of a media drive. I never really have any speed issues.

Cons: none really

Overall Review: wish I would have waited a little bit, when i bought this it was like 30/35 bux more :(...but that's just me being impatient and not waiting for the TB or 500g drives to be cheaper.

Pros: 17" is massive. Fantastic Dvd playback speed. Webcam has nice quality. 2.4 ghz tears through most things while I multifunction. Geforce 9 feels nice in all the games i've tried. while i was initially uneasy on ordering this color now i really like it, looks very smooth. Bluetooth connects to my phone and headset, wireless g works great with my router. lock function on touchpad is pretty nice for when you're cleaning it while it's on. because of the huge size the keyboard is big unlike any small laptop: numpad not mixed in with the letters is a treat on any laptop :). Blueray, lightscribe, all the goodies.

Cons: while the huge screen is a pro, it's also a con: the huge size means it will be difficult lugging from home to class regardless of how nice it is for media. It gets a tad hot while running games for extended periods of time, otherwise runs fairly cool. Battery life doesn't seem to be too long :-S...that will be a pain on trips. Vista :-S some bloatware. peer gaurdian2 doesnt work for me even though they claim to have made a vista 64 compatible version, i even tried disabling the license requirement built into windows: no success :-S.

Overall Review: Had trouble ordering because of my card holder wasn't sure if it was really me, since i cancelled my landline and hadn't given them my cell number they couldn't get ahold of me. Newegg customer service was very helpful to me in my DOH moment while i figured out the error. Overall fantastic machine. I expected great things buying an HP and i'm not dissappointed. I might buy a separate netbook to compensate for portability and battery life, but this baby is worth the money

Pros: dirt cheap, works great in my blackberry 8310.

Cons: none i can think of at all

Overall Review: If you go into any basic tech store these cards are like 19 bucks minimum....as always thanks newegg for the fantastic deals.
