Pros: This laptop is a beast, I mean don't get me wrong there are alot of other laptops out there that can get the job done but this one is pretty much a desktop replacement for a gamer. The Screen is HUGE, Great for watching stuff in 1080p, The Blu-ray player + top end specs means that this thing is ready to roll for a long time without worrying about being outdated in a year or 2. The i7 Processor functions brilliantly and when combined with the ram it makes multi-tasking a breeze and handles some pretty extreme stress with ease. The cooling system on this laptop works atleast 20x better than any other laptop I've seen or used. when most laptops would have you rushing off to put it on top of a loud external cooling device to help , this thing continues to easily manage the massive amounts of heat this thing can put out when playing a graphic intensive game on high settings, All while being nearly whisper silent. This is easily one of the best laptops I've ever used.

Cons: Its big and heavy, This isn't the typical "lets make it as small and tiny as possible" laptop. Although you could probably tell most of that from the specs, pictures and other info posted here. The keyboard is supposed to light up, unfortunately mine appears to be defective in that area. I would RMA it but for me its such a minor thing (especially since I only really use it in well lit rooms) that I decided not to since I didn't want to wait for a replacement. Also as previously stated the Blu-ray disc drive and Hard Drives, can be somewhat loud when your installing something or really pulling alot of data, overall this hasn't really bothered me much and isn't anything beyond what I've already come to expect from a laptop, the simple fact is most of these devices are loud, you just notice them more since they are closer to you than a desktop would be.

Overall Review: Ehh the price is ofcourse pretty dang high, honestly there are some great deals out there in the $600 to $800 range but if you have to have the best, as in i7 processor, 8gb ramm, gaming graphics card, blu-ray drive, 1900x1080 resolution.. then there really is no better deal out there. The bonus goodies they send you with this are actually pretty nice. the backpack works perfectly for the laptop (duh it was kind of designed for it), and is heavy duty and seems pretty durable. I'd have to disagree with a previous report and say that the mouse they send you is actually quite nice for gaming, my one complaint about it would be the 2 thumb buttons positions and their default function while surfing the web being the forward and back button, as its extremely easy to hit by mistake while surfing, while its not normally a huge deal, it is when your typing out a large forum post and goto hit the send button only to click a back button by mistake and loose all your work.

Pros: UPDATE: after replacing the PSU with a better one with 3 fans, the problem with it shutting down disappeared and it now runs a ton cooler. Great Computer after alittle trouble shooting.

Cons: *Listed Below*

Overall Review: I also removed alot of the HP software to cut down on junk CPU useage. I actually got to use the "Shut Down" command for a change rather than it just killing itself because the PS overheated

Pros: 600W PS with 3 Fans that have adjustable speeds. 2 PSI-E connectors + a 20+4 and a 4+4 CPU connector and plenty of others. This thing works just as good as it looks in the pictures. The 3 Fans are nice and produce great airflow

Cons: It was alittle bigger than the PS i was replacing making for a tight fit but thats not really a con since its more about how much room is in your case. My condition was a special case tho so I had to work with what I had or I'd normally just have bought a nice sized case.

Overall Review: I bought this to replace a PSU in a new high end HP. All in All the HP was a mess of tangled wires with only the PS fan and 1 small case fan to try and keep up with a Geforce 9800 and an AMD Quad Core that just poored heat into the case, exspecially since the graphics card didn't have a heat sink with direct external hot air exhast. needless to say the entire case was cooking itself and as with most pre built computers the PS was underpowered and didn't have enough to push any extra fans. It was soo bad that the PS was cutting out from all the heat. So I killed 2 birds with 1 stone. I replaced the PS with this one.. a tight fit but with those 3 fans and the extra power to run an extra PCI slot fan above the graphics card my computer not only has the power but also cut temps nearly in half. Given thats prolly not a typical result but hey I'll take it.

Pros: This Computer is NICE, its fast and has lots of power to spare. A great computer if you don't wanna actually build your own but You must have alittle knowledge in the Building dept or else you'll be stuck with a lemon because the heat problems cause it to routinely shut down.

Cons: It runs way way to hot, infact It runs so hot that it shuts itself down after only a few mins, infact I have issues getting the computer to stay on after about 20 mins of use. The Graphics card is nice but it where as most cards of its type take an extra PCI slot so it can vent air this one does nothing but blow it back into the case causing everything else to get super hot aswell. This PC has horrible airflow management and is a mess of cables, first thing I did to try and make it run cooler is to swap around the PCI cards to give the graphics card more room to breath and add in a PCI slot fan to help remove the heat from the case. I also rerouted the wires as best as I could to Improve Air Flow, and while this helped, it didn't cure the problem which I determined to be the Powersupply overheating and shutting itself down so it didn't burn up. A real Pain overall, exspecially for something marketed as a top end PC for people who don't want to build one.

Overall Review: I've got a new powersupply on order which should solve the problem aswell as improve airflow in the case. for those of you buying this PC and want to know what you'll need off the bat, you need a x1-4 Pin CPU, x1-PCI-E x1-24 Pin Main or x1-20+4 Pin, x2 Sata, x1-4 Pin Moldex, x1-4 Pin Floppy aswell as atleast a 500W supply altho I recommend a 600W just to give you alittle breathing room for more fans if you like. I personnally bought one with 3 fans just because the PS is drowned in Heat from the graphics card because the board is mounted upside-down
