TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Dv7

Great spec's for the price. FSB at 1066 MHz, Blu-ray, 4GB RAM. Fast Boot-up (once you delete all the preloaded junk). Unlike the other reviewers, I actually really like the color. Lots of USB ports. This laptop does not get hot after hours of use.

Like I wrote above, there is ALOT of pre-loaded junk programs, takes alot of the resources away. Once all the junk is un-installed and completely removed everything is much faster.

The only other con that I can think of is the keys are really hard to read, bronze and white don't contrast really well. Again

For those of you that care, here are the Vista scores for this laptop, out of the box:
Processor: 5.3
Memory (ram): 5.9
Graphics: 5.0
Gaming Graphics: 5.4
Primary HHD: 5.3

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Pretty but wicked

Large, bright display

Came with Vista and no free upgrade.
Display crashes and resets often. WD hard drive crashed after 14 months. Nvidia drivers are causing BSOD crashes and constant resets.
This has been the worst $1200 I have ever spent.
If I had any idea this highly reflective keyboard was this difficult to see I would have passed on this piece of ( ). I am very disappointed with what has been a very good company.

I have lost faith in HP. My Acer netbook is more stable and performs better
